1 year agoA self hosted (preferably FOSS) home security video solution would probably have prevented something like this. Main problem is those solutions aren’t as simple as Ring’s plug and play cameras.
That’s a really interesting bypass; I wonder how this can be patched or mitigated considering the module is entirely loaded from memory. Short of setting
noexec
on temporary directories, I can’t think of any quick short term fixes.Edit: Re-read the blog post and looked at the Github repo for the code- looks like this is more of a proof of concept of a SELinux confine bypass, as the kernel needs to be compiled with
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP
set. See the readme here, there’s some more notes that weren’t included in the blog post.
