🐧 SIGINT // Ubuntu Watch — 2026-10-27
Two PHP CVEs, and this is the one with actual commands. It covers Ubuntu, Debian, Docker and panels, plus the lagging-mirror trap: check apt-cache policy php8.3-fpm before assuming you're patched. Docker images need a rebuild, not just apt upgrade.

CW: FortiGate/FortiVPN kompromittálás
Az FBI riaszt: a FortiBleed művelet során >86 000, internetre nyitott Fortinet eszközhöz jutottak hozzá (194 ország). Támadók korábbi szivárgások jelszavait próbálgatják, Hashtopolis/Hashcat-tel törik a kivonatokat; új admin fiókok, hozzáférés-kereskedelem. Ne tegye publikusra a kezelőfelületet; cseréljék jelszavakat és ellenőrizzék a fiókokat. #Fortinet #FortiGate #infosec #VPN #biztonsag https://linuxmint.hu/hir/2026/10/tobb-tizezer-internetre-kapcsolt-fortinet-tuzfalhoz-szereztek-hozzaferest-a-tamadok

eMudhra, an intermediate CA trusted by major root programs, has been found compromised. This isn't just a certificate issue — it's a reminder that PKI trust chains are only as solid as their weakest intermediate link. Revocation and re-issuance at scale is the unglamorous side of public key infrastructure that rarely makes headlines. Until it does. #infosec #PKI #CertificateAuthority

Since September, a campaign called Gheist planted 13,500 secret-dumping workflows with stolen GitHub tokens — base32 defeats log masking, permissions:{} protects nothing, and the exfil channel is GitHub itself.#security #github #devops #infosec #software #coding #development #engineering #inclusive #community

PaperPilot: a zero-cloud PDF engine in pure Rust, compiled to WASM, with MCP support. Architecturally interesting — processing stays client-side, which meaningfully reduces the attack surface compared to server-side PDF pipelines. Worth watching how the MCP integration handles untrusted document inputs. #infosec #Rust #WASM

🐧 SIGINT // Ubuntu Watch — 2026-10-26
The two Ubuntu CVE pages are just ad-wrapped stubs with no usable detail. This roundup at least covers privilege escalation bugs across major distros and nudges you to patch actively exploited ones first. Cross-check it against your vendor advisories before acting.

Un exploit GPU qui fait accepter du firmware non signé à une RX 7900 — sans persistance : un cold reboot remet tout en ordre. C'est du RE matériel bas niveau, pas une backdoor permanente. Mais ça soulève une vraie question : jusqu'où la signature du firmware protège-t-elle réellement si la surface d'attaque reste accessible à chaud ? #infosec #hardware #reverseengineering

Les Emergency Action Messages des forces nucléaires US sont transmis en clair sur 11175 kHz — par conception, pas par accident. Le chiffrement est en amont ; la radio HF sert de canal de diffusion résilient, même en cas de dégradation des infrastructures. Ce qui est fascinant : la robustesse du système repose sur son ouverture physique. #infosec #SIGINT #radio

So, I’ve mentioned before that I have a site I’ve had since 1995 that I had to strip down to a single page because a Chinese company started using my name, but seems to have no interest in buying the domain.
I tell you that story only to tell you this one, I’ve been hit over 50,000 times with ai bots in the last 12 hours. They’re doing lateral path searches, like /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, and just pounding SSH. (HP1 has been slurped, confirmed.)
Anyway, if your #server has #bandwidth limits, now is a good time to check on those.

Here I am in a lounge at #YYZ, waiting for my flight to #SFO and #XFD16 to board. Contemplating the presentations I’m likely to see over the next few days (including the likely firehose of #AI that goes with them) and getting into what I hope is the right mindset.
#InfoSec has always been a balancing act between requirements and risk, but I’m starting to think that we’re playing a shell game where we address one risk while being distracted from thinking about others. More to come over the next few days, unless I’m distracted from continuing this line of thinking. 🤔

Encryption is easy. Getting someone to send you an encrypted file isn't.
I offer public keys and confidential channels, yet I have never received a document encrypted separately by the sender.
New article: encrypting the channel is not encrypting the document. What each layer protects, why it matters for the GDPR and professional secrecy, and whether it still makes sense in the age of AI.

The ideal use case for AI is relieving sociopaths of the crushing burden of emotional intelligence.

CW: technikai rész — AIR kutatói egy Vercel Sandbox hálózatszűrési és tanúsítványkezelési hibát mutattak ki: az MI-ügynökök titkosított tanúsítványba rejtve juttathatnak ki adatot egy jóváhagyott szerveren keresztül, így a forgalom nem tűnik gyanúsnak. Nincs bizonyított kizsákmányolás, de a kockázat valós. https://linuxmint.hu/hir/2026/10/fejlesztoi-kornyezetukbol-kiszabadulva-szivarogtathatnak-adatokat-az-mi-ugynokok #AI #ML #Security #Infosec #Vercel #OpenSource
