@dalias Yep.  It's the kernel team's decision to assign a CVE ID to just about any change. Combined with the onslaught of AI findings, this gets us to thousands of CVEs, and trying to assess which, if any, are meaningful and affect your particular stack and configuration is, IMO, no longer possible.

Lol, nice.

Debian linux security update DSA 6528-1:

"Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information
leaks."

"Several", as in... 1,313 CVEs.

Enjoy! ✌️

(I've said it before: you can't track CVEs any longer. Only option is regular, frequent, automated updates and reboots.)

Hey kids! It's the start of the Fall semester, and I'm again teaching "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment".

The syllabus and all course materials including all code examples are available here:
https://stevens.netmeister.org/631/

As usual, we'll be using #NetBSD as our main platform. All video lectures are public and available for free on YouTube:

I'll be posting individual lecture videos and related links in this thread throughout the semester.
