Exploitation Summary
EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2021-41073.
AI-analyzed exploit summary This repository contains a functional local privilege escalation (LPE) exploit for CVE-2021-41073, targeting a type confusion vulnerability in the Linux kernel's io_uring subsystem. The exploit leverages BPF and FUSE to achieve root access on vulnerable kernels (e.g., 5.15-rc1).
Description
loop_rw_iter in fs/io_uring.c in the Linux kernel 5.10 through 5.14.6 allows local users to gain privileges by using IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS to trigger a free of a kernel buffer, as demonstrated by using /proc/<pid>/maps for exploitation.
