Hi there,

I wrote:
does anyone know if the cobalt kernel is vulnerable to the recently
discovered ptrace local root exploit, and if so, if there's a patch
for the cobalt raq servers?

I did some further investigations on this yesterday and it seems that the cobalt raq servers are also vulnerable. Took me only a few seconds to gain a root shell on my test system :-/ Well, fortunately that problem is easily solved by installing a ptrace-blocking module.

Regards, Moritz
