Bug in latest Linux gives untrusted users root access

Red Midnight

I'm still laughing

Theo de Raadt, the leader of the OpenBSD OS had this to say about Linux and Torvalds:

If anyone wants a choice quote from me about the recent Linux holes,

this is what I have to say:

Linus is too busy thinking about masturabating monkeys, he doesn't

have time to care about Linux security.

For the record, this particular problem was resolved in OpenBSD a

while back, in 2008. We are not super proud of the solution, but it

is what seems best faced with a stupid Intel architectural choice.

However, it seems that everyone else is slowly coming around to the

same solution.
