Threat Score
**SLUBStick** is a novel Linux kernel cross-cache attack that uses timing side-channels to convert limited heap bugs (double-free, use-after-free, OOB) into an arbitrary read/write primitive with ~99% success, enabling privilege escalation and container escape on kernels demonstrated (5.9–6.2) while bypassing modern defenses like SMEP/SMAP and KASLR.
