Linux 2.6 Kernel Backdoor Attempt Thwarted
An attempt was made by some unscrupulous character to add a code submission to the kernel source that would allow anyone to gain root access using a combination of flags in the wait4() call.
Heres the link to the full story:

Just thought you guys might want to take a look maybe to give you an idea of the next generation of exploits to hit this industry.

Re: Linux 2.6 Kernel Backdoor Attempt Thwarted
Funny thing is that on irc channels this flaw was discribed as far less elegant as any KLM rootkit, as it was so visible that any kernel guru or any linuxw kid would see it on first release... rootkits still have happy days !

Re: Linux 2.6 Kernel Backdoor Attempt Thwarted
I agree Ragu, open peer review by as many people as possible will keep these flaws from being the door for the next blaster or klez or whatever its going to be. Another thing that helps is public places to voice concerns.

Re: Linux 2.6 Kernel Backdoor Attempt Thwarted
the checks seem to be doing their job, that made this into a non event.
