This was what my son was frantically trying to figure out last night when a tornado warning sent us into the basement. He’s worked so hard to set up our secure server and just like that he had to figure out how to keep it secure.

Since I posted this a few minutes ago, I checked my available updates, and my distro already has the newest package ready to DL with the fix.

I love Open Source!

The Register tends to get a little breathless about vulns. This one is very difficult to exploit, but you have to read deep into the article to discover that. Oh well, they deserve the clicks...

I run OpenSUSE 15.5. Here is their statement:

“Only SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP6, SUSE Linux Micro 6.0, openSUSE Leap 15.6 and openSUSE Tumbleweed were affected by this problem.”
