Thanks to frontier reasoning agents, Linux is completely riddled in ways you can discover 900+ LPE vulnerabilities. [0] Another wave of vulnerabilities like this are yet to be discovered in Linux. We are just seeing how weak C and C++ based OSes and kernels are when put under hundreds of AI agents. [0] https://openai.com/index/a-thousand-fewer-paths-to-root/ | ||||||||

Watch Hartman’s response to the first wave of issues found by AI. Super dismissive and ignorant. I’m not sure the people that caused this will be the one fixing it. | ||||||||

We always knew this, it has been understood since nearly the dawn of the monokernel OS that there is always a route to privilege escalation somewhere. This is why even for web applications that would be better served by a shell, people choose CGI-style interfaces instead. The only reason it wasn't seen as a problem was due to the effort and time it took to find and exploit them. | ||||||||

And how many of these vulns are in code for legacy hardware or filesystem support that in no way reflects threats against modern Linux installs? I wager the overwhelming majority of them. | ||||||||
