    Tech Radar[^]:

    A high-severity Linux vulnerability capable of granting abusers root access to target endpoints is being exploited in the wild, researchers have warned.

      Somebody's radar must be running on extremely slowly propagating waves. The fix was rolled out to all my Ubuntu systems in January, and refined in February. apt changelog policykit-1 for those that are interested. And as it's a local privilege escalation, I have worse problem if someone is in a position to exploit it. *yawn*

      Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994. So does this signature. me, 2012

        Well, they are a government agency, so that may explain the slowness :)

          That's a very good description of how software updates propagate if you don't force them. :)
