[0Day] linux 32bit compat vuln (root shell)

in

The 32-bit compatibility mode in 64-bit Linux kernels (or in any kernel for that matter) is a little bit scary. Not just because it's an increased attack surface versus having purely 32-bit or purely 64-bit modes, but because of the type of input processing that has to be performed by any such compatibility layer. It invariably involves a significant amount of subtle bit wrangling between 32/64-bit values, using primitives that I'd argue most programmers aren't normally exposed to. The possibility of misuse and abuse is very real.
