kernel space to user space vulnerabilities
Kernel space to user space vulnerabilities refer to security weaknesses that allow unauthorized access from the kernel space (privileged mode) into the user space (unprivileged mode) of an operating system. These vulnerabilities can potentially compromise the entire system, as they allow attackers to escalate their privileges and gain control over sensitive user data or manipulate system resources.
