DirtyPipe adaptation possible #57

Description

@aeppacher

Was just reading up on the new disclosure of DirtyPipe a linux kernel 5.8-5.10.10 exploit. Looks like it allows you to write to read only files and even read-only mounts.

https://dirtypipe.cm4all.com/

I know the exploit is only on versions of the android 12 and kernel version 5.8 - 5.10.10 so this would basically effect the Pixels and Galaxy s22. Would this allow root privilege escalation on android? The closest exploit I could find was DirtyCow which was 4 years ago and from what I can tell, DirtyPipe is easier to exploit. DirtyCow root was lost on reboot however and android has come a long way in terms of security like selinux since.

Could this project be adapted to root via dirtypipe?
