Dirty Frag is a newly disclosed Linux local privilege escalation vulnerability affecting kernel networking and memory-fragment handling components including esp4, esp6, and rxrpc. The vulnerability enables reliable escalation from an unprivileged user to root and may be leveraged after initial compromise through SSH access, web shells, containers, or low-privileged accounts. Microsoft Defender is actively monitoring limited in-the-wild activity and provides detection coverage for exploitation attempts. The post Active attack: Dirty Frag Linux vulnerability expands post-compromise risk appeared first on Microsoft Security Blog.
