Linux Dirty Cow Exploit
Are Gargoyle routers vulnerable to the Linux "Dirty Cow" exploit?
Re: Linux Dirty Cow Exploit
Yes
The thing is, this is a privilege escalation exploit.
Openwrt already operates almost entirely as the root user, so how much more compromised can it get?
For someone to exploit this they need to get into your router. Which would be a separate issue entirely.
When a fix is available I'll move some code around.

Please be respectful when posting. I do this in my free time on a volunteer basis.

Does this mean they must have physical access to the router?For someone to exploit this they need to get into your router. Which would be a separate issue entirely.
