Anybody want to talk about Dirty Cow?
Hi All,
How worried is everyone about the Dirty Cow Linux exploit? Has anybody experienced attacks yet?
From the research I've done it seems that the exploit is "reliable" (that is it works nearly every time on vulverable systems) which is not good news.
We all believe that Unix/Linux systems are so much more secure than Windows because they're not targeted in the same way.
Q: Anybody have up to date knowledge as to which distros have now been patched and which are still at risk?
Thanks,
Dennis.

g++ -Wall $1 -o $OUT
chmod 777 $OUT The error message says 'bad substitution', namely where OUT is defined. How to fix this? (1 Reply)
