PUMAKIT Unveiled: A Stealthy Malware Redefining Linux Threats

A newly discovered Linux rootkit malware, named Pumakit, employs sophisticated stealth techniques and advanced privilege escalation methods to remain undetected on compromised systems. This malware is a multi-faceted threat, consisting of several components: a dropper, memory-resident executables, a kernel module rootkit, and a shared object (SO) userland rootkit.  This multi-layered design makes Pumakit a particularly complex and dangerous threat.
