Oh Fediverse, I have missed you. I have been away for a few months and I am very sorry. Things have been mad for me, and I have not been using much social media in general... even when I likely should have been like during the #scale17x at the #opensuse booth and the #opensusesummit

Defining "sustainable" for an open-source project [LWN.net]

One final resume review from #SCaLE17x to give in the morning

We had a great turnout for the jobs BoF Friday night, kept us busy the entire two hours

Lots of people changing careers ( some back into tech ) and quite a few students

I hope our advice was helpful!

snap security came up in several conversations at #SCaLE17x

See the bug description for some insight on how snaps work

Key points for this exploit:

* complex software is complex
* Free Software teams ( Ubuntu security ) respond quickly

Privilege Escalation in Ubuntu Linux (dirty_sock exploit)

In January 2019, I discovered a privilege escalation vulnerability in default installations of Ubuntu Linux. This was due to a bug in the snapd API, a default service. Any local user could exploit this vulnerability to obtain immediate root access to the system. Two working exploits are provided in the dirty_sock repository: dirty_sockv1: Uses the ‘create-user’ API to create a local user based on details queried from the Ubuntu SSO. dirty_sockv2: Sideloads a snap that contains an install-hook that generates a new local user. Both are effective on default installations of Ubuntu. Testing was mostly completed on 18.10, but older verions are vulnerable as well.

@popey it was nice to meet you at #SCaLE17x and thanks for stopping by the #krita booth! You should be proud, not embarrassed, by your entertainment prowess! 😝
