>Exploiting this flaw, which affects KDE Frameworks package 5.60.0 and below, is simple and involves some social engineering as an attacker would need to trick KDE user into downloading an archive containing a malicious .desktop or .directory file.
Oh WOW
It's fucking nothing!
Cameron Myers
I don't have this problem on Windows 10 ENT
Nicholas Smith
No-one cares about you.
No-one.

Sebastian Lopez
I care about him, he is a good person.
Aaron Young
yeah you do, there's an army of pajeet scam call centers trying to social engineer people out of their money
Zachary Parker
Nope
>social engineering people out of money is relevant to os
Typical smoothbrain loonixfag

has linuks become windows
Jaxon Torres
Allowing .desktop files to EXECUTE ARBITRARY COMMANDS to get *icons* was a fucking stupid design in the first place.
Luis Davis
Loonix was a mistake.
Angel Harris
Already fixed lol
Robert Scott
Imagine if Windows allowed arbitrary execution from desktop.ini files as a feature. That's how fucking stupid KDE devs are. Stop using KDE.
Dominic Myers
shouldn't have been an issue in the first place. KDE is way bigger than gnome so there has to be even more of this shit in the desktop. I also love the fact that the evilgnome thread exploded while this one only has 17 post and would've been archived in an hour, fucking pathetic. fuck KDE and fuck KDE shills and use a window manager
Jason Gray
what VM do you recommend then user? no autismo shit that takes ages to setup or tiling garbage
Jack Cox
You have the EXACT same problem, Windows10
Chase Cruz
icewm, jwm, openbox or fluxbox are good ones if you don't like tiling shit but the thing about window managers is you're going to have to do some configuring yourself since it most likely won't come with everything you need like automatic menu generation or hotkey binds
imagine shilling windows of all things
Jordan White
Ezpz
Sebastian Bennett
Not even using KDE buy I still think that disclose it like this is pretty shitty of the guy.
Bentley Scott
>the researcher didn't disclose it to KDE before going public
what is the advantage of doing this?
Eli Roberts
fixed, but how long will it take for the packages to reach every user? it could be quite a while. this is a pretty ridiculous security breach. a single hidden file can bring down the entire system.
Grayson Miller
Fuck linux desktop environments, they can’t even play videos without juddering every 10 seconds.
Why should everybody else cater to their desires, when they don’t give a shit about what people want?
Andrew Hernandez
>involves some social engineering
so, not at all passive
Adrian Cook
all it takes is a single unzip and your entire system is compromised, it's one of the worst linux vulnerabilities ever
Jack Rodriguez
Oh no
Luke Brown
arch is also unpatched
Parker Cruz
DElets btfo
Nathan Cook
kde bros how do we recover from this
Ethan Rogers
>unpacking zip files
Who does this?
also who uses KDE?
It's Xfce.
Sebastian Brooks
Reminder that 99% of neo-Jow Forums uses linux just to fit in and because it make them looks cool
Ethan Peterson
>download virus
>get hacked
what is so special about this?
