Anybody want to talk about Dirty Cow?

Hi All,

How worried is everyone about the Dirty Cow Linux exploit? Has anybody experienced attacks yet?

From the research I've done it seems that the exploit is "reliable" (that is it works nearly every time on vulverable systems) which is not good news.

We all believe that Unix/Linux systems are so much more secure than Windows because they're not targeted in the same way.

Q: Anybody have up to date knowledge as to which distros have now been patched and which are still at risk?

Thanks,

Dennis.

NAME
themole - automatic SQL injection exploitation tool SYNOPSIS
themole [ -h ] [ -u url ] [ -n needle ] [-t num_threads] DESCRIPTION
The Mole is a command line interface SQL Injection exploitation tool. This application is able to exploit both union-based and blind bool- ean-based injections. Every action The Mole can execute is triggered by a specific command. All this application requires in order to exploit a SQL Injection is the URL(including the parameters) and a needle(a string) that appears in the server's response whenever the injection parameter generates a valid query, and does not appear otherwise. OPTIONS
-h Shows the help message and exits. -u url Sets the url of the mole's instance to url. -n needle Sets the needle of the mole's instance to needle. It must be a string that appears when the injection returns true and disappears when the injection is false. -t threads Sets the max number of concurrent requests that the mole will be making. Cannot be changed at runtime. SEE ALSO
The program provides interactive documentation, refer also to the official README file. AUTHOR
