The devs haven't said anything about this one AFAIK, though we can at least look at last year's AI-found LPEs.

Secureblue mitigated Copy Fail and blocked the xfrm-ESP exploit path for Dirty Frag. You can read more about it here.

Kicksecure did neither, as SUID and unprivileged user namespaces aren't disabled by default. You also can't selectively enable user namespaces after disabling it, which worsens security for web browsers and breaks some stuff.

    The original comment said "Sometimes those clankers can hallucinate useful ideas".. do you really think that they meant to say that the people are the ones hallucinating, not the machines?

    They asked about how to stop losing ssds in an environment with passive cooling and the answer is a heatsink.

    Their pc has vents and is designed to rely on passive cooling. Perhaps it will last a long time, perhaps not.

    And how's that going considering 3 ssd failures and current idle temp of 67C versus the expected 40's? You're clearly not so dumb that you don't know that a heatspreader will have its limits when you're up against dead air so this is plainly what's called being wilfully obtuse. And OP is the one who will suffer for it.

    rushing into the operating theater to disrupt an in progress remediation of gunshot trauma to inform the staff that the persons heart disease is a big deal

    Funny, I'd liken your advice to putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound. But keep telling yourself you're a trauma surgeon and not the janitor in a lab coat that OP was unfortunate enough to stumble into. Learn to admit when you're wrong.

    Why are you posting the entire article? It's generally considered kind of an asshole move towards the people that actually wrote the article.

    OverTheWire bandit is really fun. I was able to get up to the level with the encryption stuff. The encryption stuff confused the hell out of me.

    Be sure to use the manuals and the wiki entries about the relevant commands listed on the website. You need to use some comprehensive reading and crack your brain. It is quite literally a puzzle. Not much I can say to you to help you without spoiling the puzzle.
