Yet another? Are there really so many LPVEs in linux?

Well, it often feels like every “Linux security issue” flagged in the tech press is a privilege escalation, but I admit that I haven’t sat down and done the math.

I manage multi user systems and try to be on top of this and no, privilege escalation with a working public exploit are very rare. There’s quite a lot of CVEs with potential privilege excalation, but most of the time there is no real world exploit. And a large part of those are related to user namespaces in one way or another. This one is truly scary, at least the immediate mitigation is pretty straightforward.
