New 'Looney Tunables' Linux bug gives root on major distrosJoe Klemmer@lemmy.myserv.one to Linux@lemmy.ml – 256 points – 1 years agobleepingcomputer.comFrom BeepingComputer.42Post a CommentPreviewYou are viewing a single commentView all commentsI wonder if this could be used to root previously unrootable Android based devices.Android doesn't use glibc, but Bionic, a C standard library developed by Google. So I don't think this vulnerability affects Android.What the heck. I thought, they were using musl. Certainly seems like this has rather similar goals to musl...That's no reason for Google not to reinvent the wheel.... They did the same with dalvik and ART now. JVMs, but more googlier!And Quic, and Pony express, and GFS...Think Android uses Bionic instead of glibc (where the vulnerability is being exploited).
