Aethec Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 First Firefox, then Opera, and now Internet Explorer 6 and 7... http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=5633 It's currently being exploited. Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhawk Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 It's funny how these exploits lately seems to related to Windows Operating System, I wonder if any exploits exist for Linux?? Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethec Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Search YouTube. Or look on Secunia.com. There are hundreds of flaws on each Linux distro. The winner is Gentoo Linux with 3247 flaws. 24% of those flaws are highly critical. Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhawk Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Well I understand that every OS has it's own flaws but just how many of these exploits for Linux would lead to root access and the installation of malicious code to auto start? I must admit it's something I haven't really looked into but I always felt Linux has the advantage of making malware harder to code being non standardised (different distros) whereas Windows is more common.

Aethec Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 All Linux distros use the Linux kernel, so I think many of Linux flaws can work on any distro... << Interesting one, since the changelog describe the vulnerability to cause a kernel crash...
