Re: A quartet of Linux local root vulns: DirtyAH6, PPPoEject, TUNderflow, and DiagSpill

Follow-up on four Linux local root vulnerabilities dubbed DirtyAH6, PPPoEject, TUNderflow, and DiagSpill, advising kernel attack surface reduction as mitigation.

Hanno Böck replied on oss-security regarding a quartet of Linux local privilege escalation vulnerabilities named DirtyAH6, PPPoEject, TUNderflow, and DiagSpill. The post emphasizes attack surface reduction as an effective strategy: administrators who build their own kernels can avoid being affected by many recent and future vulnerabilities by compiling out unused subsystems. No CVE identifiers, patch details, or exploitation evidence appear in this reply.
