Linux vulnerability can be ‘easily exploited’ for local privilege escalation
A newly disclosed vulnerability in a widely installed Linux program can be easily exploited for local privilege escalation, researchers from cyber firm Qualys said today.
The memory corruption vulnerability (CVE-2021-4034)—which affects polkit’s pkexec—is not remotely exploitable. However, it can be “quickly” exploited to acquire root privileges, the researchers said in a blog post.
“This easily exploited vulnerability allows any unprivileged user to gain full root privileges on a vulnerable host by exploiting this vulnerability in its default configuration,” the Qualys researchers said in the post.
In Unix-like operating systems, polkit (formerly known as PolicyKit) is used to control system-wide privileges. Polkit’s pkexec is a program that enables an authorized user to execute commands as a different user.

"dope smoking group" called the Flam Club
The pig's head was resting on the lap of a member of the Piers Gaveston Society – a dining club at Oxford – while Cameron carried out the act.
Another member of the notorious group has photographic evidence of the alleged act.
The alleged act echoes the first episode of the drama series Black Mirror, in which the fictional Prime Minister has sex with a pig live on TV.
They smoked cannabis together while listening to the rock band Supertramp.
