From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

@leo what’s the solution, is it just the normal
apt update/upgrade
or something more complicated? And is it possible to know if a machine has suffered such attack at all?According to the Ubuntu bulletin, a simple update is sufficient.
The Wiz announcement didn't really go into specifics, so not sure other than normal user auditing.
