Dirty Frag is a proof-of-concept Linux kernel local privilege escalation exploit written in C. It chains the xfrm-ESP (CVE-2026-43284) and RxRPC (CVE-2026-43500) page-cache write vulnerabilities to gain root privileges deterministically without race conditions.

Use cases

• escalate privileges to root on vulnerable Linux kernels
• test whether a Linux system is affected by CVE-2026-43284 or CVE-2026-43500
• study page-cache write kernel exploit techniques
• demonstrate a Dirty Pipe-style logic bug exploit
• verify kernel patches against page-cache write vulnerabilities

When to choose

• you need to test a Linux system for the Dirty Frag vulnerabilities
• you are researching kernel page-cache write exploit classes
• you need a deterministic LPE PoC that does not rely on race conditions

When to avoid

• you want a general-purpose security scanning tool
• your kernels are patched against both CVEs
• you are not authorized to test the target system
