Michael Boelen
25 years of Linux This year included the celebration of the Linux project. When a new security vulnerability hits the kernel, the distribution can create a related patch. Linux vulnerabilities Like previous years, this year had a fair number of serious vulnerabilities. Those who discovered the issue explain how it can result in root privileges, in their great write-up. Early 2000’s we saw rootkits, backdoored binaries, and an arsenal of tools to crash well-known software.
