Hier, à la #Gendarmerie, je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher de sourire intérieurement en voyant tous·tes ces gendarmes équipé·e·s d'ordiphones.

Celui qui m'a reçu m'a dit ne pas connaître #GrapheneOS ni aucun autre système blindé…

En clair : il est certainement très facile d'accéder à pas mal de données sans trop se fouler.

La mouture d'#Ubuntu (#GendBuntu) qu'ils utilisent est durcie (standard Armée française), certes. Mais cela ne suffit pas si les voitures, les ordiphones, les montres et le reste (dont les imprimantes et photocopieuses) ne le sont pas.

🙏

Two PHP CVEs, and this is the one with actual commands. It covers Ubuntu, Debian, Docker and panels, plus the lagging-mirror trap: check apt-cache policy php8.3-fpm before assuming you're patched. Docker images need a rebuild, not just apt upgrade.

The two Ubuntu CVE pages are just ad-wrapped stubs with no usable detail. This roundup at least covers privilege escalation bugs across major distros and nudges you to patch actively exploited ones first. Cross-check it against your vendor advisories before acting.

In April 2004, Mark Shuttleworth invited a dozen @debian developers to his London flat where they discussed ideas and defined the key features of what would become #Ubuntu.

Today, Ubuntu, an #opensource operating system on #Linux, powers millions of PCs and laptops, as well as #servers, #IoT devices, robotic systems, and more around the world!
