You make it sound so easy to gain root. I am aware that the Linux
kernel is not 100% guaranteed free from privilege escalation bugs. But
it is very important to know the escalation vector. Given that the
kernel used is fully updated and root SSH login dismissed do you know
a way of getting root without an unknown kernel bug?
