New Fragnesia Linux Kernel LPE Grants Root Access via Page Cache Corruption

A critical new Linux kernel vulnerability called Fragnesia has been discovered that allows attackers to gain root access through page cache corruption. The flaw represents a serious local privilege escalation threat that could let unprivileged users take complete control of affected Linux systems. Security researchers are urging administrators to patch their systems as soon as updates become available to prevent exploitation of this significant security weakness.
