Because a version has known vulnerabilities, it doesn't mean the vulnerability hasn't been patched. Without being on the machine it's kinda hard to know what's going on to help you. There are MANY ways to privesc other than vulnerable kernel exploits. Have you checked for SUID (find / -perm -u=s -type f 2>/dev/null)? Can current use run anything as root (sudo -l)? Are there any cronjobs? Can you find any hardcoded credentials? Is /etc/passwd world writable? You mentioned Dirtycow wrote to /etc/passwd
