ominous ocelot

I know what you mean. I’m in my head all the time. :)

You think that’s a mast have?

Thanks.

Firewall. Ufw works fine as long as docker isn’t involved, which isn’t a Ubuntu nor ufw issue.

Information stealing: that’s true. One needs to get rid of some bloat.

3306. What did the system itself say? Interesting. It didn’t happen to me.

Packet maintenance seems to be an issue when eol is reached. But this cve is the first bigger issue for me. Their efforts to build an own app ecosystem based on snaps is bothersome. Luckily there is no real lock-in. I can switch to Debian if needed. It just takes time.

My anus is bleeding!

if you run Ubuntu as a server nobody should take you seriously.

May I ask: Why do you recommend to not use Ubuntu as a server OS?

They offer a server version, provide LTS releases and there is a (limited) extended security maintenance program if one decides to use a distribution after the EOL of the LTS. Which led me to believe it was a viable option.

I’m seriously interested in your insights.

Yes. Anthropic wrote: it took them like an hour to get it right on their lab system. That’s different than the wild wild internet.

Thank you.

Difficult as in unlikely that the exploit works or difficult to write an exploit? The latter doesn’t help me much. :)

Regarding the php2shell issue: a lot of admins took their services down until it was patched. It’s more a decision based on a guess - big number bad, evil acronym scary - than actually understanding what the exploit does. One can either believe it or not.

And that’s the thing about the recent exploit (multipath TCP): I can’t evaluate myself, whether the issue is likely an exploitable RCE. That is one factor missing in risk assessment: is the outcome potentially fatal? Yes, rce and priv escalation. Is it likely? I can’t tell.

I’m sorry. I don’t mean to doubt your expertise. I simply don’t know you. It is the same with hackernews, the author repeats what he’s or she’s told. (Good overview article though. Thanks again for it.) RN It’s: Someone from the internet said don’t panic. A link to a statement from the Ubuntu package maintainer or distribution would make me feel at ease. I still couldn’t make sure for myself - a lack of time and competence in the field - but I would trust it.

Is it known if/ when Ubuntu is going to provide a fix? https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-98432 Rn the page states: work in progress for a fix.

Someone rated the issue as 9.8.Other distributions provided a fixed kernel package 10days ago. Some say, Ubuntu engineers do not rate the issue as critical. But there are exploits available which prove a DoS. Not sure if the RCE with privilege escalation has an exploit yet and under which circumstances the RCE works. Is a golang service required? Are other services affected - is multipath TCP sufficient? Does the issue affect ipv6 too?

DoS isn’t that bad. RCE with root + an exploit on the other hand. Um…

Yes. Probably.

If the original is censored: why not Zoid… a smaller mirror and leave the second hole to the imagination?

Two holes but different places is a great idea though, I say.

You have seen other progress meters than I have. Mine give me a pretty good estimate often times.

But don’t get me started on friendly dates. Especially friendly dates in emails from a week ago, that tell me that a file has been changed yesterday. coughFuck you nextcloud.

I agree with the other responses. The thought of someone’s finger there is rather unpleasant. But then again: you can never know who sat on your table before you. Could be a family with small children - the sticky ones who touch and lick everything. :D

One should trust the own body to protect himself from germs. Or bring wet wipes with you.

Form it into a huge bust of Trump. We all can live on it. Like in Corsair Cove. The game where you place your buildings and pathways vertically, attached to a wall.

I imagine having a small garden on his left nipple, with an insect hotel and maybe a patio swing.

I usually go with:

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.
