oh it’s the same guy who makes OpenSnitch and such? Unfortunately in that case it’s most likely legit
I tried OpenSnitch but it would always randomly crash while interacting with the GUI, and it would reset all my tcp connections every time you start it back up.
Tweet not found, not even when I change the URL to go directly to Twitter. Was it deleted?
The Twitter account has been privated and there are no news stories about it. Other communities where this has been shared are reasonably suspicious.
I found this talking about the tweet. Nothing more.
Nice! That second one is just a repost of your first.
I wonder where the sources for this are? The hidden Margaritelli Twitter post?
Canonical and Red Hat have not only confirmed the vulnerability’s high severity but are also actively working on assessing its impact and developing patches.
A critical security vulnerability […] has been identified by renowned security researcher Simone Margaritelli.
Yep, it’s linking to that post.
While a CVSS score of 9.9 indicates critical severity, it’s important to approach the situation with a balanced perspective.
The whole article sounds like somebody asked chatGPT to explain the tweet in more detail.
Yes, it is indeed derived from the tweet either made by an LLM or by some low effort human. But still a good “mirror” of the deleted tweet.
Copying my reply from another thread:
This link should be working.
Quoting from the OP tweet:
* Unauthenticated RCE vs all GNU/Linux systems (plus others) disclosed 3 weeks ago.
* Full disclosure happening in less than 2 weeks (as agreed with devs).
* Still no CVE assigned (there should be at least 3, possibly 4, ideally 6).
* Still no working fix.
* Canonical, RedHat and others have confirmed the severity, a 9.9, check screenshot.
* Devs are still arguing about whether or not some of the issues have a security impact.I’ve spent the last 3 weeks of my sabbatical working full time on this research, reporting, coordination and so on with the sole purpose of helping and pretty much only got patronized because the devs just can’t accept that their code is crap - responsible disclosure: no more.
