It's worth noting though that the 1) there's already patches available for it and more importantly 2) it's a local-only compromise. You can only be hurt by people you trust, or by compromise of people you trust (and you really shouldn't be trusting people that can be readily compromised...) I can't recall the last time I heard about a remote-access privileged compromise for Linux, but I definitely can for Windows. *shrug* | December 2, 2003, 11:05 PM |
| Adron | Yeah, it's about time they find a bug that's actually in linux :) This should be similar to one or another of the win2k debugging privileges or similar bugs that have caused kernel replacements. | December 2, 2003, 11:11 PM |
