to Sector 001 for his consideration and caring attention to the needs of the Linux users here. Without his PSA's how would we poor unfortunate Linux users ever know to update our systems when issues like this arise.

So this exploit has already been fixed. I just updated one of my systems with the fix. It took about 10 minutes start to finish.

Here is a useful information article on the fixes for this exploit that Sector neglec........ er forgot to mention.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
