@mangeurdenuage@shitposter.world @icon_of_computational_sin@mstdn.starnix.network Btw, the context for this thread is Copy Fail on irc.nishi.boats. It's about trusting Linux and the broader ecosystem around it such as GNU. You cannot fully trust Linux nor GNU as vendor, because you cannot fully audit and prove it.

  • @phnt@fluffytail.org @icon_of_computational_sin@mstdn.starnix.network Yes I'm aware of it. I posted about it previous to this post. >You cannot fully trust Linux nor GNU as vendor, because you cannot fully audit and prove it. Fallacious reasoning. Thank you for the bait. Please go kill yourself.

  • @phnt@fluffytail.org @mangeurdenuage@shitposter.world no, not really. Here I only refer to the Android bug above. But I would've published this "CopyFail" immediately. Linux licence claims NO WARRANTY and that really does mean NO WARRANTY.

    @phnt@fluffytail.org @icon_of_computational_sin@mstdn.starnix.network @mangeurdenuage@shitposter.world To me CopyFail revealed what a complete and utter clusterfuck modern Linux systems are — and it's not about the fact that vulnerabilities exists or how they are disclosed. Cryptographic routines running in kernel space exported to user space via a socket, what the fuck for? For a 0.1% performance gain?! And kernel module getting loaded when a user — any user at all, creates a socket of a particular type? For real?! This is the shit a ni~ ehm… user gets to deal with now?! And in RHEL AFAIK they went even further and built that module right into the kernel — so there is nothing to unload or prevent from getting loaded. Neither of these things should be possible in a system that is considered even remotely secure! :marseytabletired2: While security folk insist on putting everything in a container — these things exist!
