I’ve quoted some of the _most important_ details below, but encourage readers to view the linked Github page and Openwall report for more detailed information.\n\n> Dirty Frag is a case that extends the bug class to which Dirty Pipe and Copy Fail belong. Because it is a deterministic logic bug that does not depend on a timing window, no race condition is required, the kernel does not panic when the exploit fails, and the success rate is very high.\n\n> Because the embargo has currently been broken, no patch or CVE exists. After consultation with the maintainers on linux-distros@vs.openwall.org and at their request, this Dirty Frag document is being published. For the disclosure timeline, refer to the technical details.\n\n## Mitigation\n\n> 1. Because the responsible disclosure schedule and the embargo have been broken, no patch exists for any distribution. Use the following command to remove the modules in which the vulnerabilities occur.\n>\n\n>\n>\n> sh -c \"printf 'install esp4 /bin/false\\ninstall esp6 /bin/false\\ninstall rxrpc /bin/false\\n' > /etc/modprobe.d/dirtyfrag.conf; rmmod esp4 esp6 rxrpc 2>/dev/null; true\"\n>\n>\n>\n> 2. Once each distribution backports a patch, update accordingly.\n>\n\n\n#### Extra References:\n\n * the Tweet (X Post) announcing this vulnerability.\n * Direct link to the write-up on Github\n\n",
