    It’s an LPE, and doesn’t allow full root access to anyone who isn’t already a user.

      Are you saying LPEs aren’t a security hazard?

        Nope. Just pointing out an alarmist headline.

          Ah. Yah, well, I just went with the article’s own headline since so many comms insist on that.

            Yup. It wasn’t a criticism of you.

            I don’t think that’s really a criticism, more like the reality of modern “journalism”…

            I know, they need the clickbait title for the click money but yeah -as usual- I’m mostly shrugging this off

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
