On #linux, when mounting an untrusted #filesystem (eg: external drive) the filesystem might have executable files with capabilities declared in their extended attributes. This is pretty similar to files being #suid. Is there an equivalent to nosuid so I can #mount the filesystem ignoring those capabilities?

I finally took the plunge:

❱❱❱ sudo
bash: sudo: command not found

One less #suid root binary on my system! I don't need root on my laptop often anyway, mostly just for the weekly `bootc upgrade` and the occasional journal check. `run0` works just fine for that. (I do pretty much everything in #toolbx)

Now the remaining stuff in `find /usr -perm -4000` has mostly stuff that I don't really need, except `unix_chkpwd` and possibly `pkexec`. Getting closer!

“ The risk of sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) increased during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period, especially in 2021, according to a new study led by researchers at the Penn State College of Medicine.” https://www.psu.edu/news/research/story/rates-sudden-unexpected-infant-death-changed-during-covid-19-pandemic

Rates of sudden unexpected infant death changed during the COVID-19 pandemic | Penn State University

Rates of sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) increased during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the immediate pre-pandemic period, according to new research led by a team from the Penn State College of Medicine. The pronounced increase in SUID cases correlated with a resurgence of seasonal respiratory viruses, particularly RSV, suggesting that the shift in SUID rates may be associated with altered infectious disease transmission.

#TIL in Linux, the SUID (Set User ID) bit is a special file permission that allows a binary to run with the privileges of the file’s owner rather than the user who executed it. This feature is useful for tasks that require elevated permissions, like allowing regular users to perform specific administrative functions.

However, SUID binaries also pose a security risk. If a SUID binary is improperly configured or contains vulnerabilities, an attacker with limited privileges could exploit it to escalate their privileges, potentially gaining root access. This makes it crucial to regularly audit SUID binaries on your system.

To find SUID binaries, use:
find / -type f -perm -4000 -ls 2>/dev/null

Dat het elders nog een stuk ingewikkelder kan, maakte ik op uit een artikel dat ik onlangs las op Forverts onder de getranscribeerde titel ‘Malay Afrikaans as Muslim Yiddish’. Waar komt het in het kort op neer? Een Germaanse taal (Afrikaans) wordt de voertaal van Maleis-sprekenden, vervolgens opgeschreven in Arabisch schrift, en daarna vandaaruit weer getranscribeerd naar hedendaags Latijns schrift.
