A proposed Linux kernel patch adds a “killswitch” mechanism letting admins disable vulnerable kernel functions at runtime until security fixes are released. 🐧
The patch targets threats like LPE exploits, taints modified kernels with a new flag, and was developed with documented AI-assisted contributions. 🔒

Ist das bei uns auch möglich?

Fascinating idea, though I can’t help but think it would just become some sort of attack vector of its own.

Also given the push towards immutable distros (which is a good and cool idea) I’d be very curious how this could actually be implemented.

Linux kernel maintainers pitch emergency killswitch after CopyFail and Dirty Frag chaos

Instead of waiting for patch cycles, admins could simply shut down vulnerable functions before attackers get there

Finde diese Idee bzw. den Ansatz gar nicht mal so schlecht. Bin gespannt, was bei der Prüfung herauskommt.
