  • auto-color linux malware

    From August Abolins@2:221/1.58 to All on Sun Mar 2 21:05:00 2025
    I just heard about the auto-color linux malware.

    Most sites seem to have 5 or 6 day timestamps on the story.

    I can't find anything on what the entry vector is for that
    thing.

    Hi Mike...

    I can't find anything on what the entry vector is for that
    thing.
    Last I read, IIRC, they were not sure of the vector. You'd think they'd have figured it out by now, though.

    ..and the issuance of an official CVE for that one (since first detection a few months ago in November) seems to be taking a long time.
