I have a daft question about #CopyFail and #DirtyFrag

I have some old Linux appliances which aren't getting updates any more (security cameras, amps, Android tablets etc).

Assuming I can log in as a normal user, does this mean I can get root on them?

I guess they need to be sufficiently modern to have these vulnerabilities - but in theory it should work, right?

Those kinda devices typically have custom kernel builds and some of those features might have been striped out to reduce flash storage needed.

A hopefully saving grace at least.
