A new Linux vulnerability known as 'Looney Tunables' enables local attackers to gain root privileges by exploiting a buffer overflow weakness in the GNU C Library's ld.so dynamic loader.
the vulnerability has existed since its introduction in April 2021, putting a significant number of systems at risk
"The following is my 0day. This code, when executed on any website, disconnects the AtlasVPN linux client and leaks the users IP address. I am not yet aware of it being used in the wild.
