Let’s see if this really affects all Linux systems or if the stars need to align for this to actually be exploitable.

I still remember hearing about a Ring 0 exploit in Windows (I may be misremembering, though) that required Ring 0 access. I think if an attacker has access to Ring 0, you’re already screwed anyway.

I agree, all this attention grabbing sound to me as if this is actually not a big deal. But we will see i guess.

A 9.9 is pretty bad no matter what. They wouldn’t rank it almost a 10 if it was some obscure bug that is very hard to exploit.

With that being said it is hard to know without details

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
