Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation Flaw Vulnerabillity CVE-2016-0728

[justme2]

Got a segmentation fault when running it so not going to spend forever analyzing this, was just curious. Vuln requires physical access to your pc. So if you have a friend who's a wizard on the command line, keep him/her away from your pc

To update:

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.13.0-76-generic linux-headers-3.13.0-76-generic

Reboot.

Lite Tweaks, Kernel Removal, remove all other 3.13 kernels.

Installing Kernel 3.13.0-76 caused panic, my panic not kernel panic :-) as my wifi, wireless mouse, external sound card and DVB-T adapter all stopped working! However, all was not lost as I soon found a simple way to restore the earlier working kernel which brought the hardware back to life. So what I do not understand is will this new found vulnerability ever be removed from older kernels or do users of older hardware have to live with it and not progress to newer versions of Linux Lite with newer kernels?
