PonyOS <= 3.0 tty ioctl() local kernel exploit
PonyOS 0.4.99-mlp had two kernel vulnerabilities disclosed in April 2013 that could be leveraged to read/write arbitrary kernel memory. This is due to tty winsize ioctl() allowing to read/write arbitrary memory. This exploit patches the setuid system call to remove a root uid check allowing any process to obtain root privileges.
Mitigation:
Apply the latest security patches and updates to the system.
