Researchers disclose a 55-year-old vulnerability affecting macOS, Windows and Linux. Exploitation is trivial and requires no special tools. No patch exists.
in my defense, my team is always trying to be mr. achiever and drop the latest vulnerability. I got a glimpse of this one and got excited since I hadn’t heard of this “new named threat”.
when I tried reading further to prepare my draft… the reach and exposure of this vulnerability became clear.
also, to mitigate this, we’d have to hotpatch layer 8.
my carcass has long been picked clean but I thought" hey maybe the old man still can find surprises those whippersnappers haven’t yet."… thinking “ohh lemmy stumbled upon something! beans!”
(I think you have to say this when you reference lemmy now)
justifying my behavior because I was motivated by the aforementioned external behaviors by establishing their trends of beating me to the aforementioned punch.
WOOO I need to let autocorrect hit that aforementioned word again yeah
soo satisfying.
Not even that, it’s not a problem at all. They’re just saying that when you open a terminal program you get access to the shell. That is exactly the point of a terminal program. It’s a bit like “exclusive, shocking report: water is wet!”
I mean, I guess part of the joke is if an attacker can get into your computer they can do nefarious things, but that’s not as funny.
Okay. I briefly ate the onion, on this one. It tastes like sysadmin tears.
I had a msg to my team drafted before I realized I was a fucking idiot.

u shouldn’t play the achiever game with your team, it’s an exploitation tactic and it consumes every fiber of your being

Duct tape works a treat for that!
How is it in your defense when you were going to do it to them?

Save it for April 1.
I’ve sent a company wide email telling everyone I don’t want to be sysasmin anymore.
It has nothing to do with the CVE
I was fooled until I saw the CVSS score of 11 on a scale of 0 to 10.
Up to 11
I only figured it out because I read your comment.
That’s why I confessed. I’m glad to help.
I’m here cautiously making sure it’s a joke that I don’t understand. Problem exists between keyboard and seat.
