" CVE-2021-33909, as the security flaw is tracked, allows an untrusted user to gain unfettered system rights by creating, mounting, and deleting a deep directory structure with a total path length that exceeds 1GB and then opening and reading the /proc/self/mountinfo file"

<~Vorntastic>
Well... That is one way to break stuff, yes
01:11
<&McMartin>
Well yes, but it turns out that it roots the system

User needs to be able to mount a filesystem though

So unless you've got FUSE wide-open...

Y'know, there are times where it's easy to see how someone came up with the steps needed to demonstrate a vulnerability... and then there's "creating, mounting, and deleting a deep directory structure with a total path length that exceeds 1GB and then opening and reading the /proc/self/mountinfo file"
10:20
<@TheWatcher>
I mean, how do you even think that one up? Excessively bored on a Wednesday evening and decide to fart around with how long of a path you can fabricobble together?!

<~Vorntastic>
That one is definitely "where is there unchecked overflow"

Anyone know of good FOSS Linux software to screen capture desktop? If it works for vidya games that'd be great, too..

I'd second OBS. Probably avoid the OSB unless you're building something.
