Unauthenticed RCE vs all GNU/Linux systems

So this would probably be SSH related right? Otherwise what would all Linux systems have in common?

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

My bet is on Systemd.

[–] thesmokingman@programming.dev 5 points 2 months ago

That’s not all GNU/Linux though. Either the OP doesn’t understand a very common container OS, Alpine, doesn’t use systemd (also Void Linux and others outside the container space) or it’s something else.

Oh that would be baaaad

And unsurprising

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How would this be unsurprising? Is systemd known for this kind of thing or something?

Not all Linux's have SSH enabled, especially out of the box.

They have some other posts about IPv6 parsing (also not universal), but that doesnt sound like an "easy" RCE.

If it were SSH though, wouldn't that ALSO include a wider blast radius than just Linux systems?

Like OpenSSH is used all over the damn place, unless I guess there's something specific about the issue that limits it to Linux hosts for some reason?

[–] SpaceMan9000@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

He claims the blast radius is bigger, not just Linux. He also claims to be in talks with Apple. So the educated guess would still be openssh
