securitybreach Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 So it's proof of concept for now (right?) and since its opensource, it will get patched quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 I don't know. The article is pretty detailed as to how the hack works. Supposedly, Cisco (OpenDNS) has already resolved it on their end. There are, of course, ways to prevent it on a personal system using IPTables, and so forth. I s'pose Linus and the kernel team are working on it already, I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
