Follow-up on four Linux kernel local root flaws (DirtyAH6, PPPoEject, TUNderflow, DiagSpill), noting PPPoE is ubiquitous on ISP gateways.
An oss-security follow-up discusses four Linux local root vulnerabilities dubbed DirtyAH6, PPPoEject, TUNderflow, and DiagSpill. The commenter observes that PPPoE is widely deployed but mainly for ISP gateway communication rather than on end-user machines, which limits practical exposure. No CVE identifiers, patches, or exploitation evidence appear in the post.
