# Dirty Pipe — CVE-2022-0847
> ⚪ **PLANNED** module. See [`../../ROADMAP.md`](../../ROADMAP.md)
> Phase 2.
## Summary
Pipe-buffer `PIPE_BUF_FLAG_CAN_MERGE` was incorrectly inherited by
`copy_page_to_iter_pipe()` and `push_pipe()` paths, allowing an
unprivileged user to write into the page cache of any file readable
by them.
## Affected kernels
- ≤ 5.16.11
- ≤ 5.15.25 LTS
- ≤ 5.10.102 LTS
## Upstream patch
`9d2231c5d74e13b2a0546fee6737ee4446017903` ("lib/iov_iter: initialize
"flags" in new pipe_buffer")
## Why this module is here
Even in 2026, many production deployments still run vulnerable
kernels (RHEL 7/8, older Ubuntu LTS, embedded). Bundling Dirty Pipe
makes IAMROOT useful as a "historical sweep" tool on long-tail
systems.
## Implementation plan
- C exploit ported from public PoCs (credit upstream authors in
`NOTICE.md` when implemented)
- `detect()`: kernel version check + `/proc/version` parse + test
for fixed-version backports
- `exploit()`: writes `iamroot::0:0:dirtypipe:/:/bin/bash` into
`/etc/passwd`, then `su iamroot` — same shape as copy_fail's
backdoor mode
- Detection rules: auditd on splice() calls + pipe write patterns,
filesystem audit on `/etc/passwd` modification by non-root
## Not started yet
Pick this up after Phase 1 (module-interface refactor of the
copy_fail family) so this module can use the standard
`iamroot_module` shape from the start.

# EntryBleed — CVE-2023-0458
> ⚪ **PLANNED** stub module. See [`../../ROADMAP.md`](../../ROADMAP.md)
> Phase 3.
## Summary
KPTI's user-space-mapped entry trampoline is detectable via
`prefetchnta` timing, leaking the kernel base address (defeats
KASLR). Universal across modern x86_64 kernels with KPTI; only
partial mitigations have shipped upstream.
## Why this is here
EntryBleed is **not a standalone LPE**. It's a **stage-1 leak
primitive** that future LPE modules can call when they need a kbase.
Bundling it as a module:
1. Lets other modules `#include "core/entrybleed.h"` and call
`entrybleed_leak_kbase()` when they need KASLR defeat
2. Ships defensive detection rules for prefetchnta-timing-attack
patterns (useful for hardened environments)
3. Documents the technique with a clear writeup so users
understand what "stage-1" means in the broader chain
## Empirical status on recent kernels
Verified 2026-05-16: works 5/5 on lts-6.12.88 (no anti-EntryBleed
mitigation configured). See
`security-research/findings/audit_io_uring_2026-05-16_poc_attempt.md`
and the EntryBleed test code at
`SKYFALL/bugs/leak_write_modprobe_2026-05-16/exploit.c` lines ~73-150.
## Upstream patches
There is no single canonical patch. Partial mitigations include:
- `CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET` (per-syscall kernel stack jitter)
- Some KPTI hardening discussions on lkml, no merged fix as of
lts-6.12.88
- The community position remains that "KASLR is best-effort,
not a security boundary"
## Implementation plan
- Lift the proven EntryBleed code from
`SKYFALL/bugs/leak_write_modprobe_2026-05-16/exploit.c` into
`module.c` here
- Expose as both a CLI mode (`iamroot --leak-kbase`) and as a
library helper (`uint64_t entrybleed_leak_kbase(void)`)
- Detection rules: timing-attack pattern flags, perf-counter
anomaly detection (informational — these are hard to make precise
without false positives)

# Fragnesia — CVE pending
> ⚪ **PLANNED** stub. See [`../../ROADMAP.md`](../../ROADMAP.md)
> Phase 7+.
## Summary
ESP shared-frag in-place encrypt path can be coerced into writing
into the page cache of an unrelated file. Same primitive shape as
Dirty Frag, different reach.
## Status
Audit-stage. See
`security-research/findings/audit_leak_write_modprobe_backups_2026-05-16.md`
section on backup primitives. Notably: trigger appears to require
CAP_NET_ADMIN inside a userns netns. On kCTF (shared net_ns) that's
cap-dead, but on host systems where user_ns clone is enabled it's
reachable.
## Decision needed before implementing
Is the unprivileged-userns-netns scenario in scope for IAMROOT? If
yes, this module ships. If we restrict to "default Linux user
account, no namespace tricks," this module is out of scope.
