WTF /g/ TOLD ME LINUX IS SAFE NOW MY DESKTOP IS GETTING ASSFUCKED THANKS A LOT JUST BUY APPLE AND DON'T TRY TO GIVE PEOPLE TECH "ADVICE" AKA MISINFORMATION
>>108778365should I upgrade to linux-firmware 7.x?
>>108778365these are just government backdoors being founded out. If anything it's a positive for desktop users specifically
if the attacker can run random scripts on your pc you are already fucked why is it so hard to understand?
>>108778365No one has been exploited by any of these.
>>108778474I wouldn't class these as backdoors because they're not a way to gain access to the system.You have to have access (whether as a user, or by getting a program to run on the computer) for it to be exploited.It could be part of a backdoor, the method for some malware on the system to gain superuser capability, but they're not backdoors in themselves.
>>108778562>I wouldn't class these as backdoors because they're not a way to gain access to the system.Yeah retard totally. Good thing the feds don't have privileged access to the Intel ME or AMD PSP, that was a real close one.
>>108778365>ASSFUCKEDIndeed.
>>108778478it's useful in a chain. some retards may still have a vulnerable GitHub Enterprise they haven't updated, for instance that lets you induce an RCE paired with this LPE for total ass rape. You guys have very limited imaginations. A lot of shitware in real world use is simply not well maintained.
not my problem
>>108778766>You guys have very limited imaginations.Yeah you're talking about Linux fanatics. These retards barely understand their own OS they love to jerk each other off to.
>>108778897wintards don't understand their os either. most people don't. stop being a bitch. this isn't a flamewar issue.
>>108778914>this isn't a flamewar issueYou're posting in a flamewar thread anon.
Reminder that OP is a soilent-chugging macfag who spams these nothingburger news threads to cope with having overpaid for his spyware-pozzed goy-toy.
>>108778626If they have access to ME or PSP, then this all doesn't matter.
>>108778365the shills already know this, but for those of you who don't seem to understan when you're being shilled, every OS has vulnerabilities every single one of them
>>108778478reminds me of installing sub7 on the teachers computer in computer science class back in the days(now literally possible to do in a school again thanks to this exploit hahahhah)
>>108779019>these nothingburger newsLinuxfags have pioneered a brand new radical security method: security by denial. Deny any and all security issues as there can be no security issues if you say there aren't any.As if that has ever worked.
>>108779077While this vulnerability is extremely severe due to its ease of use and compatibility, it does not affect random desktop users as OP implies. It affects institutions instead. OP isn't "assfucked" on his own desktop. You are already root on your own computer.
>>108778365>All major distros.Define major distros and why it can get root?Is it a systemd issue or something else? Are distros like gentoo affected?
>>108778889Cool ad.
>>108778365A second exploit has hit the kernel
HOW DO ALL THESE DIRTY FRAGGOTS KEEP GETTING ACCESS TO MY SECURE SYSTEM
is arch patched yet?
>>108779142It’s an exploit where you abuse the user space so you can gain access to sudo on your command line without typing a password. You need to have physical access and already logged in once for it to workAlso it got patched before it ever made it to a public update and you have to enable some obscure headers fist that are disabled by default and only good for certain research applicationsThis is a nothing burger for real, obviously microdick shills are pushing it as demoralizing
>>108778365I bet AIsloppa code is behind this.
>>108779937Yes this got patched a few days agoIt’s a nothing burger
>>108780023I thought that was a different one. Copy Fail vs Dirty Frag
Is "finding security exploits that have caused zero actual damage and overblowing them in articles" the latest anti-linux campaign? I guess the whole "nooooo they added AGE VERIFICATION to systemd!!! It's over!!!!" thing didn't work out for corpofags.
>>108780033why would a local privesc cause no damage?
>>108779077>new
>>108780022nah this is another of the literal thousand nsa vulns inserted by "volunteers"foss is as vulnerably to entryism as it's at all possible for a mode of organization to be
can't hack me if my pc is turned off until they fix it
>>108778365you just need to install steam to nuke your lunix
>>108778463yes, upgrade to windows 7
>>108780264>>can't hack me if my pc is turned off>he doesn't know
