Heads up #ArchLinux users! The "Atomic Arch" supply chain attack (June 9-12) compromised 400-1,500+ AUR packages with an infostealer & eBPF rootkit targeting credentials, browser data, and CI/CD secrets. Attackers quietly adopted orphaned AUR packages and slipped in malicious PKGBUILDs. The community is actively cleaning up, but now's the time to act.

Erst vor zwei Tagen #Manuskript installiert, war darin bereits ein Übeltäter versteckt. Das #bash-Skript legte dies offen. Eine erste Überprüfung lies nicht erkennen, dass die eigentliche #Backdoor schon nachgeladen wurde und aktiv ist. Ich wollte nun mit #ClamAV sicher gehen, doch die Installation ist mir viel zu kompliziert. Daran scheitere ich kläglich. Schon Schade auf Sicherheit zu verzichten, weil deren Nutzung maximal erschwert wird. #Arch #Linux #ArchLinux #AUR #Rootkit https://discourse.ifin.network/t/400-aur-packages-compromised-with-infostealer-and-rootkit/577

Hey there #linux users, what #distro are you using and why? I used to run #archlinux, then #fedora. Currently on #ubuntu for the proprietary Nvidia support, though I generally prefer the vanilla gnome experience.

The Bad Place

Feed: All Latest | Dangerous New Linux Exploit Gives Attackers Root Access to Countless Computers by Dan Goodin, Ars Technica AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A newly disclosed Linux kernel vulnerability, dubbed CopyFail (CVE‑2026‑31431), enables a local privilege‑escalation that lets an unprivileged attacker obtain root on virtually any Linux distribution with a single, unmodified script. Released by security firm Theori after a brief private disclosure, the flaw resides in the kernel’s crypto API where an AEAD template copy operation overwrites adjacent memory, allowing the attacker to elevate privileges, break out of containers, compromise multi‑tenant systems, and hijack CI/CD pipelines. Although patches were quickly issued for several kernel versions (7.0, 6.19.12, 6.18.12, 6.12.85, 6.6.137, 6.1.170, 5.15.204, and 5.10.254), many distributions had not yet applied them, leaving countless desktops, servers, and cloud environments exposed. Experts warn that the exploit’s reliability surpasses earlier high‑profile kernel bugs like Dirty Pipe and Dirty Cow, and they urge all Linux users to verify that their systems incorporate the relevant fixes or follow vendor mitigation guidance.
