found and patched within days. meanwhile windows gets shit patched every 2-4 weeks.

lol, stuff like this gets found in all OSes every once in a while, windows has had its fair share of privilege escalation exploits

Has Apple fixed that rootpipe yet?

>>57170806
Windows is insecure but some fags shilled linux is secure.

>>57170890
In Linux you are the security.

>>57170905
Holy shit 76% of adobes vulnerabilities are 9+ what the fuck.

>>57170802

Doesn't mean much when it's been in the wild for NINE FUCKING YEARS

>muh quick updates

>>57170940
Was it in the wild for nine years or was that just when they traced the commit back to?

This is important.

>>57170940
They can't fix it before they know it exists.

Microsoft once found a 19 year old bug in Windows: http://www.theverge.com/2014/11/12/7202801/microsoft-patches-critical-19-year-old-windows-bug

>>57170968
Here's a 17 year old one: http://www.computerworld.com/article/2523045/malware-vulnerabilities/microsoft-confirms-17-year-old-windows-bug.html

>>57170980
And a 15 year old one: http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/02/15-year-old-bug-allows-malicious-code-execution-in-all-versions-of-windows/

Trips of a turd.

When an exploit comes out for Linux, it is immediately patched.

When an exploit comes out for Windows, you wait weeks to get it patched.

When an exploit comes out for Apple, they bend their tails between their legs, shoot out some buzzwords and solve the problem quietly after a while.

Fuck normies, fuck commercial software!

>>57170777
Why can't programmers ever do their job right?

Let's all just take a moment to revel the fact that it's 2016 and we're still finding 0 days that are almost a decade old.

Security and CS jobs might be going the way of pajeet but they will still exist indefinitely

.oO(hm, the anti-linux shill offensive seems to be running into some heavy resistance and taking casualties)

>>57170919
Yea, I don't get why there isn't outrage over this

It's a privilege escalation exploit. If you're dumb enough to give someone you don't trust shell access to your linux machine you deserve to get hacked.

>>57171406

>implying you couldn't get sql injected from a website, shell access aside

>>57171423
The fact that SQL injection is still a thing concerns me more than this exploit.

>>57170777
This shit requires local user access, it is pretty much a non problem for correctly configured web facing servers.
Besides that, it has already been patched on 4.8.3, 4.7.9 and 4.4 LTS

>>57170777
God /g/ is fucking terrible these days with /v/edditors and pajeets rushing in to shitpost the hardest they can and shill windows.

Didn't it need shell access?

BSD users wouldn't even consider this a bug.

>but muh insecure blaoted software
Bug or no bug, unauthorised shell access is the problem, not what can be done with it

>clearly the problem is how easy it is to launch the nuke, and not how easy it is to get into the facility containing the button

>>57171697
Isn't UNIX supposed to be, you know, secure?
Last time I checked, this includes proper user privilege separation.

>>57171697
>>57171723
BSD users are masterbating monkeys. Any bug can result in terrible consequences. Microsoft is arrogant enough to never tell you about the bug and just ignore it for years while thinking they're secure. They'll tell the NSA about the bug, but not you.

OP here

This was just a shill thread

Move on
