Not a single one of these LPE have been called Fraggle Rock. Yet. Disappointed. #linux #cve

Releasing a universal #Linux #kernel #exploit with very little or even no previous time to distribute a patch through distributions is not cool. Doing it on the day before a weekend - on two weekends in a row - is just being an asshole. Looking at you, #CopyFail and #DirtyFrag.

You may think it helps your PR, that people will queue to use your cool new AI/agentic/whatever tool because you found the bug. You may think that releasing the full exploit because somebody else was even quicker with "leaking" your cool find makes it right. You're wrong. This is neither responsible nor coordinated disclosure. In security, we've tried to learn the hard lessons on keeping in-production, live systems on a global scale safer.

Yes, those bugs have existed for a long time in the kernel source. Yes, other bad actors may already have found them. But you're shining a light on it *and* giving every script kiddie in the world a working exploit to point their mass scans at. That's dangerous. There's a reason why the normal process is to reach out at least to the most widely installed distributions before releasing the bug details publicly. There's a reason why 90 days is a good default - it allows downstream percolation of patches. You can still get the credit. This way, you only create stress for admins.

[For a little relief, refer to https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/cyber-security/dirty-frag-exploit-gets-root-on-most-linux-machines-since-2017-no-patches-available-no-warning-given-copy-fail-like-vulnerability-had-its-embargo-broken for a quick mitigation, because updating kernels and rebooting a fleet of hosts just takes time, weekend or not. #HugOps]

Is anybody running a multi-user computer setup? If so, what does your partition setup look like?

I'm trying to figure out what works best, because I want an area with shared files (not a network share), while keeping the encrypted disk at boot.

We already have an encrypted disk with keys for each of us, and I'm installing a new drive to expand storage.

Habe ich mal erwähnt, dass ich die Entscheidung meinen Router zu virtualisieren in einem Mini-PC extrem abfeiere?
Das System läuft jetzt seit gut 1,5 Jahren extrem zuverlässig, lässt sich per Snapshot sichern, ist extrem flexibel konfigurier- und erweiterbar…
Und wenn i h die Hardware wechseln will brauche ich auch nur die virtuelle Machine zu übertragen und behalte alle Konfigurationen…

The UNIX shell is still one of the best IDEs ever created.

grep/find/sed/awk/make/ssh/git/nvi often compose better than many modern “integrated” environments.

Small programs connected together still scale surprisingly well.
