Yet another, "well, yeah, technically it has security ramifications, but I'm not admin'ing any multiuser machines, so I'm not losing any sleep over it" bug.
Rootless Xorg is still a niche thing?
That thumbnail lol
Sysadmin job be like
Perfect Christmas gift idea
I've got a few old PCI cards around somewhere. I should pull one of them out and give them a try at this.
If this metal thingy is anything like the one used as dust covers inside PC cases it'll just bend (I've actually tried to use one as a bottle opener).
Works well for cans, though, in my experience.
For a while I had a fiber SFP that was amazing at opening cans, too.
What do you expect? X11 is in maintenance mode. Although I'll miss Polybar, I won't miss the protocol.
I think it's still valuable to document these things so that the users who insist on sticking with X11 can receive a healthy dose of this (replace diapers with vulnerabilities) when the proverbial shit hits the fan and it becomes as hackable as Windows XP
Its good that people care enough to keep finding these vulnerabilities
Yeah, This case especially since it includes XWayland
If only for the sake of one's CV. Making your bones by having a couple of 0-days under your belt helps a lot of folks find jobs these days.
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.
