THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF LINUX/UNIX

Water can't be wet as water can't have water on its surface.

This isn't about physical access though, you could do just the same over an ssh session.

From x11-base/xorg-server-1.19.5-r2.ebuild (latest stable):
IUSE="${IUSE_SERVERS} debug +glamor ipv6 libressl minimal selinux +suid systemd tslib +udev unwind xcsecurity"
The suid wrapper is enabled by default on Gentoo. And I was made fun of here maybe like a month ago for running Xorg as user, no suid, on my Gentoo system.
>hurrr why would you, that's stupid
>durrr it doesn't add any security
I wish I saved that internet argument(tm) so I could show everyone how I BTFO an autist on a Belarusian fishing forum.

>couldn't figure out how to block Windows updates

Oh yeah and anyone can just SSH into my fucking computer whenever they wan't right?

Didn't work in Arch Linux, it said something about not being able to move shadow to shadow.old and then requested the root password.

What am I doing wrong?

>bragging about disabling updates in a thread about vulnerabilities
found the retards

also my system, as the large majority of linux systems, was not affected by this Xorg bug.

it was fixed in 1.20.3 version

not him. running xorg-xserver 1.20.2, and the exploit doesn't work on my computer (arch linux)
only a handful of distros are affected.

Another vulnerability which affects OpenBSD vanilla install.

I just mistyped this on my rig and it made my root user have no password and changed my user's password to God knows what lol

Luckily I was able to fix it. Seems like you could only do it locally though since you need to be on a ``real'' tty for it to work so I'm not worried about it too much. Is funny though

same here with void

oh it rotated out my entire old shadow file, thank god it rotated and not just overwrote

copied old file back

Sorry to spam this thread but I'm actually interested in security these days. This vulnerability looks so hilariously simple, could it not be used to modify literally any file you choose, and if this wasn't something recently introduced why did it take this long for someone to figure it out?

nice copy pasta
windows is for real men

I don't use xorg so the joke's on you bud.

>We don't reply to trolls.
Did I stumble into Bizarro Jow Forums or something? What year is this?

dad stop embarrassing me

No. But really, are you saying that local exploits just don't matter? That any user on the system should be able to just fuck up everything just because?
I bet you're probably one of the fags who then go on and talk shit about how you shouldn't run things as root

Not to mention that running things as a regular user is supposed to be another layer of security. If an user app like your browser or pdf reader is compromised, with this kind of local exploit, now your whole system is compromised.

Not a copy pasta you fucking shill. This happened repeatedly to both mine and my wife laptops with each update of Windows. Install mint and suddenly everything werks.
Your solution to upgrades making an operating system absolutely unusable is to disable them...and yet I'm the dumbass for leaving that madness behind? Hahahahahahahahahahahaja

Non tards have been using Wayland for years

The utter state of microshills. Also
>CentOS 7.5 updated is immune to this. PAM steps in and refuses Xorg execution cause you don't own the console
Microshills BTFO. Enterprise Linux users get their shit patched before you can even blink.

I'm pretty sure water does have water on it's surface.

Nop, I'm running 1.20.1-1 (I sync only once per quarter)

so much tension

A liquid can never have itself coating its surface.

Man, OP really blew himself out of the water. It's as if he's too stupid to read the thread he posted. Some more gems:

>Xorg needs to be setuid for this to work, which it hasn't been for a while on most end-user distros

>On Arch, the /usr/lib/Xorg.wrap binary is setuid but it drops its privileges before calling execv on /usr/lib/Xorg (where the bug resides) and pass file descriptors so that it can do its job unprivileged. Problem completely mitigated unless you modify /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config.

>any Xorg desktop affected
Literally zero of my Linux machines and only one VM affected.

Thats not how sets work, if there is a division between set A and identical set A then the only division is in terms of magnitude, they arent distinct sets simply different iterations

how do i get a big long pinus like that

>ITODDLERS BTFO MACOS IS A PIECE OF INSECURE SHIT *shitpost this for at least two or three years*
Jow Forums as usual.

>>linux has a root scalation that's only exploitable locally
But it's not even all of Linux, some distros made stupid choices, not all of them.

Well, desu the macos thing was a more impressive thing visually, and more likely to be able to be done by non technical people

Nope. See:

Doesn't affect me. I run X as a Nonprivileged user. Seems like a nothingburger to me

It's funny that with free software exploits are found by developers and fixed before they can be exploited for malicious purposes, while proprietary software ignore the bugs, if they even know about them, until something happens. Security through obscurity is a farce.

>years

you know what an archive is?

factually it is for government monkeys

>I run X as a Nonprivileged user.

>because this always happens
I see confirmation bias here.

the conf looks like weston

Photon is more comfy than weston.

Learn to quote properly.

I'm quoting the exact post I meant to quote. Thanks.

so it is a libweston thing or ?

I never said "because this always happens".

xD Epic meme

But who has Xorg installed setuid root these days? It's been like five years since it had to run as root.

And the first damages from CoC rear there head
When will people fucking learn to not give leftists an inch?

So this is the power of communism.

Already patched and it was upstream fault for not telling them.

>And the first damages from CoC rear there head
This has nothing to do with Linux, though. This is about Xorg. It affects systems that don't even use Linux, so what you are saying makes no sense.

>linuxfags start to act like it's not their problem but only xorg's

ahahahah how typical

You know Berkeley distributions don't use Linux, right?

security.archlinux.org/CVE-2018-14665
who runs xorg with elevated priviledges?
most display managers (except gdm) do.

Ubuntu here. So safe.
