Public exploit code for CVE-2026-80521 escapes Ubuntu 26.04 containers to root on the host. Fixed upstream in August, but Ubuntu still lists 26.04 as vulnerable. Again, Ubuntu is behind on security. depthfirst.com/research/con... #Linux #Ubuntu #Security

Containers Are No Longer a Security Boundary | depthfirst
As AI accelerates kernel vulnerability discovery and exploitation, the barrier to escaping containers by attacking kernel has fallen so significantly that we must assume attackers can do so at will.

I recently posted about Omarchy. Here’s a very different take. Ikey Doherty, creator of Solus and AerynOS, is basically saying: I can do this better. His answer is Barney, a Rust-based project for building a Linux distro from source. itsfoss.com/news/ikey-do... #Linux #Omarchy #OpenSource
