Hello! Could somebody write what threats there are when kernel memory disclosure is found? I mean not along with another bug (since kmem disclosure could lead to some interesting pointers addresses and values, etc), but only itself!? I guess it could lead to /etc/shadow disclosure, if some suid programs accessing it would be running in the background (chsh, for example). Is it correct? BTW, when chsh and other programs-accessing-shadow-file are running, where do they store the /etc/shadow content? On the kernel stack in it's thread_union, or somewhere else?
So, besides /etc/shadow disclosure, are there any significant places, where kernel memory disclosure could lead to very likely privilege escalation? Thank you. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
