This thread here suggests that more activity might be expected again from the #OpenNIC parallel #DNS #root .

Not sure, if more activity, and a reborn of the #OpenNICproject leads to less or more abuse from the system. Any opinions from the #infosec community?

Critical Sudo Vulnerabilities Let Local Users Gain Root Access on Linux, Impacting Major Distros

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed two security flaws in the Sudo command-line utility for Linux and Unix-like operating systems that could enable local attackers to escalate their privileges to root on susceptible machines.

So... my back is feeling it so many brambles' roots to dig and they are so looooong
They are like cables! Kind of amazing in a way.
I reckon by next week, I can plant few seedlings in there.

A critical Linux vulnerability (CVE-2025-32463) in Sudo lets any local unprivileged user gain root via the --chroot (-R) option

Affects default configs on Ubuntu, Fedora & others — no Sudo rules needed
Fix: Update to Sudo 1.9.17p1+ (no workarounds)
CVSS: 9.8 (Critical)

Highlights persistent risks in open-source privilege handling

#Kritische #Sudo-Lücke gefährdet unzählige #Linux-Systeme

#Forscher haben eine gefährliche #Sicherheitslücke im #Kommandozeilentool #Sudo entdeckt. Angreifer können mit wenig Aufwand Root-Rechte erlangen.

Die #Sicherheitslücke besteht laut Blogbeitrag der #Forscher seit der im Juni 2023 veröffentlichten #Sudo-Version 1.9.14 – und damit seit rund zwei Jahren. Ursache ist wohl ein Fehler in der #Chroot- #Implementierung.

@JessTheUnstill @bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @tomiahonen @fuchsiii Exactly...

Coincidentially, that's why #Android (and #iOS) doesn't let users have #root access because billions of devices owned by mostly "#TechIlliterates" that hardly get #SecurityUpdates would be an even bigger risk if they didn't boot a locked-down #ROM image, thus only allowing for #malware in user-privilegued userspace!

• I'd even go so far that I'd wish for @torproject to basically merge fmr. #FirefoxOS / #KaiOS & @tails_live / @tails / #Tails to build a #privacy-focussed #ROM for #Smartphones and #Tablets i.e. "#TailsMobile" or sth.

Cuz having a mobile OS that shoves everything through #Tor and only allows #userspace-Apps in the form modern web technologies would be a big #security and #privacy gain.

• Not to mention #amd64 is on it's way out and inevitably they gotta have to transition to supporting #arm64 and eventually #RISCv-#64bit at some point.

In case USA provides even more surprises, can Europe run our own root name servers as an alternative to root-servers.net, since .net zone is operated by VeriSign, and .org (hosting root hints) by Public Internet Registry, which are both US entities?

Correction: root hints are on .net domain too, IANA only links to actual file.

Hi #Fediverse, let's start our journey here with our #introduction. We are #Turris project by #CZNIC. We develop and produce #opensource #wifi #router with focus on #security running #Linux distribution based on #OpenWrt. Of course, we provide automatic #updates and #root accounts. We have a #network of #honeypots running on our devices and create a dynamic #firewall based on the data.

We talked about anger, fear, hate, and love during this morning’s Wednesday Ayem Attunement.

This is a dark day for many people. Let’s take a (profanity-laced) look at how love works.

I was relatively quiet yesterday because I spent pretty much all day playing #boardgames with local choom @ety and a bunch of (hopefully) new friends from the local Board Games Consortium here. Around 10 hours of gaming madness yesterday!

We played things like #SpaceBase, #CthulusVault, #Root, #Anomia, #TuringMachine, #Guilliotine, and several other games of which I can't recall the names at the moment. I won one, lost most of the rest. But it was fun, fun, fun!

My personal crowning achievement was finally being able to play Cyberpunk #GangsOfNightCity with actual people (and a full complement at that)! According to the rules, the game maxes out at 5 players (which kind of sucks, considering there are 3 additional gangs and 2 Nomad clans with the Badlands expansion), but we played the tutorial mission to get everyone familiar with the mechanics and that still took like 3 hours. But I learned a lot about game having a "full boat" of players. I know what I'm going to do different next time, for sure!

The one thing I forgot to do was take pictures of GONC in it's full, in-progress glory!

So much fun, and I'm looking forward to doing it again soonish. Thanks for the invite, @ety !
