    Quick PSA or reminder: If you're running Linux connected to the Internet, especially with exposed services, you'll want to patch for copy.fail.

    Please elaberate. I don't know what that file is, where to locate it, or how to patch it.

    TechHeart's video seems good on this (seriously, go put it on at half speed in the background, if nothing else, so that it gets better viewing numbers), but I figure I'll give a simplified summary on the bug:

    Assume that all users on your Linux system now have the power of root, unless you specifically patch this.

    Personally, I will probably be lazy on this, as I'm not running any Linux systems where there are users who are not me. And I'm sure I'm a danger to myself, but I could just login as root anyway. This exploit would just save me from using a password.

    It's part of the kernel update. Just upgrade your system, should pull from the standard updates. For instance, apt update.

    https://copy.fail/ has a good chunk of the info

    I think all major distros have likely patched at this point, just make sure you get the updates & reboot to load the latest kernel.

    TechHeart's video seems good on this (seriously, go put it on at half speed in the background, if nothing else, so that it gets better viewing numbers), but I figure I'll give a simplified summary on the bug:

    Dude - thank you... and why 1/2 speed??? Do I talk too fast?!?!? :P

    Theres a new video coming this weekend - while there are SOME outlier distros STILL affected by CopyFail, we got a new vuln today; Dirty Frag - it uses some bits of the CopyFail CVE and some other modules and there are now CURRENT distros that are affected. For example, I popped root on Ubuntu, Debian 13, Garuda... just as easily as CopyFail.

    Yes... most distros will be updated this weekend - but man, that AI landscape is gonna bring us MORE priv escalation CVEs that we just haven't been looking at IMO.

    Crazyness... also, I didn't know you watched TechHeart and that makes me smile!!! :P

    Nah, just that evidently "watch time" is a metric that YouTube uses. So, if you want to maximize watch time for a channel, you can watch at half speed, and presumably it'll make YouTube that much more likely to suggest it.

    I don't imagine it's a big difference, and perhaps they've changed the algorithm, but still...

    Crazyness... also, I didn't know you watched TechHeart and that makes me smile!!! :P

    I can't say I watch _every_ video, but I do like supporting BBS scene people.

    And much of your content is interesting and informative, anyway. Especially if it hits on a topic I was directly interested in.
