unlike other demigods you don’t have a fatal flaw at least

what if you are a demigod but that god is the god of executive dysfunction

I apologize for bringing this into the world.

@whitequark i don’t know but probably the best use of them i have seen is with the mining flotation chemical “sodium ethyl xanthate”

@fiore @ariadne fixed versions of 2 stable and 1 LTS release were already out for two weeks at that point.

disclosure was a clusterfuck but like

i don’t think red hat has much of a reason to not have it patched already

on lighter news

RHEL 6/7 aren’t affected by copy.fail

uwu :3

@sodiboo /j if in doubt

@sodiboo i think staring at a cursor is what MLers do when their loss explodes

@ariadne by the time the vuln was published i was already running a fixed version on all my regular linux systems running community-maintained linux distros.

i am not convinced that red hat, a corporate provider of a paid distribution, was unable to provide a patch in a reasonable time frame despite employing one of the maintainers of the kernel crypto/ tree specifically credited in the af_alg.c file.

I wonder if this could be a potential mitigation too

find /usr \( -perm -u=s \) -o \( -perm -g=s \) -type f -exec chmod go-r {} \+

this removes the read bit from suid and sgid binaries so that the vuln can simply not open these files

the fix has been part of mainline for over a month at this point btw :)

@deetwenty i think you can disable it through boot args but yeah

the mitigation outlined on copy.fail doesn’t work

special shoutouts to red hat who sells vulnerable binaries for money

i can understand if community run projects don’t have the best response times but they are literally getting paid for this what is going on

apparently some distros still haven’t patched copyfail

love obsession with version number stability

@maia don’t turn folks into unskippable raccutscenes pls

the vetting process is just getting tested for rabies, raccanine distemper, and raccoon roundworms at the vet
