Critical Vulnerability Affecting Most Linux Distros Allows For Bootkits - Slashdot

Linux developers are in the process of patching a high-severity vulnerability that, in certain cases, allows the installation of malware that runs at the firmware level, giving infections access to the deepest parts of a device where they're hard to detect or remove. ArsTechnica: The vulnerability r...

The #LogoFail #UEFI #exploit is a perfect example of how capitalism fucks everything up. So many people worked so hard on securing UEFI against #bootkits but having a goddamn image load was necessary for capitalist "intellectual property" to be enforced, thus opening this vulnerability for literally every Windows and Linux system with a hardware manufacturer logo loading in boot, which is most of them. https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/12/just-about-every-windows-and-linux-device-vulnerable-to-new-logofail-firmware-attack/

This isn't a security fail, it's a #capitalism fail, because the social/legal regime of #intellectualproperty is actually unnecessary and oppressive, and in this case prevented people from designing secure systems.

Just about every Windows and Linux device vulnerable to new LogoFAIL firmware attack

UEFIs booting Windows and Linux devices can be hacked by malicious logo images.
