Kernel Privilege Escalation is a type of privilege escalation vulnerability in which an attacker exploits a flaw within the operating system kernel to gain elevated administrative or root-level access, distinguishing it from user-space privilege escalation by targeting the core privileged component responsible for system resource management and hardware abstraction.
