  15. Passwort - der Podcast von heise security: KI Fail, Copy Fail, S/MIME Fail

    ( XXL Folge 2,4 Stunden, leider ohne Kapitelmarker und Folgennummer, aber interessant wie immer. :-* O:-) )

    #CopyFail zieht weite Kreise und geht auch am #Podcast nicht vorüber:

    Die #Sicherheitslücke in #Linux ist technisch interessant, was Christopher und Sylvester allerdings an die Grenze ihres Wissens um #Kernel-Innereien bringt. Darüber hinaus wirft Copy Fail diverse grundsätzliche Fragen zur #Sicherheit von Linux und zur Handhabung von @Sicherheitslücken auf, die die Hosts diskutieren.

    Außerdem geht in dieser Episode um eine löschwütige KI und natürlich um PKI, zumindest ein bisschen. #DNS #Mail

  24. Looks like the kernel version 5.10.255 has been patched for both copyFail and dirtyFrag.

    That may be a safer bet going from a 5.4.* kernel version than a jump all the way up to a 7.1.* kernel. For context, this would be a manual kernel upgrade on an Ubuntu 20.04 virtual machine.

  28. Linux kernel question:

    I manually upgraded a cloud virtual machine (test) running on Ubuntu 20.04 with a 5.4** kernel version to the latest 7.1 kernel available today:

    https://kernel.ubuntu.com/mainline/daily/2026-05-13/

    I rebooted and it seemed to work fine. Apache web server is running. Doesn't seem to have any problems, but no load is on it.

    Do you think it would be fine to run such an old 20.04 Ubuntu version with such a recent kernel? Or should I find a more recently released 5.** series kernel and try that instead?

    I am testing getting kernels patched for the recent Linux vulnerabilities, but need to run older Ubuntu 20.04 for a while yet until web applications are manually ported to run on newer versions.

    The future is regression. You know the exact version number (post ^0.2.1) when they broke the back of the arch of history, the day when the Project sacked socks.

    Agent Kaczynski strikes again. #EndCiv
    No PVH? Just HVM to ROP for an audio assault. Got 'em! We know who the Wacos are. They are an unaccountable hate group.
    #QubesOS @whonix
    @QubesOS

    Anyway, qvm-firewall is still run by Dom0, even if fire tries to rob your vault. ICMP probes held back. They never get to the other side of the @ past dom0 hostname. Delusionals. Cheats. Liars. The bastards!

    The proposal follows CopyFail and Dirty Frag privilege-escalation flaws, allowing vulnerable subsystems to fail safely instead of remaining exploitable in production. 🐧
