Immediately noticed even though the packages have been out for over a month?

Easily could have stolen a ton of information in that month.

Yeah but tbf it was deployed on mostly rolling release and beta releases.

No enterprise on prod is worried because they're still on RHEL 6 /s

Why the /s? We are migrating our host to RHEL7 since months.

we've skipped 7 and are jumping straight to 8. The process has been going on for two years now. 9 was released 2 years ago

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Ours goes to 11.

My innocent home lab bum thought 4 years would be enough to assume people got off of an EOLd distro lol

Yeah they got lucky. But shows how susceptible systems are. Really makes you wonder how many systems are infected with similar - this wouldn't be the first back door that's live in Linux systems.

On what? Servers using Arch Linux? Debian Unstable? Fedora 40?

[–] DingoBilly@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Phew, thankfully everyone follows appropriate procedures and doesn't just roll out beta updates to production in their systems.

Right?

I hope so lol. At that point that is natural selection though.
