Copy fail : depuis 2017, une faille dans le noyau Linux permettait à un utilisateur de passer root.

Depuis 2017, une vulnérabilité dans le module cryptographique authencesn du noyau Linux laissait à un compte d’un simple utilisateur la possibilité de passer en root. Elle concerne la plupart des grandes distributions jusqu’au déploiement du patch, qui est déjà en cours.
