Level 10 critical vulnerabilities discovered in open-source software Linux

Level 10 critical vulnerabilities discovered in open-source software Linux

Linux has always been known for its security, but foreign network security experts recently warned that the open-source software Linux has found a security vulnerability, and Its Risk level has reached 10, the severity of the threat may exceed the "Heartbleed" vulnerability in April this year. On Thursday, 360 also issued an orange warning signal, believing that a frequently used segment "Bash" in Linux may cause the control of enterprise servers.

Bash is a software used to control Linux computer command prompts. DanGuido, Chief Executive Officer of Network Security Company TrailofBits, pointed out that "the Bash vulnerability is much simpler. You can directly cut and paste a line of software code to achieve good results."

With this vulnerability, hackers can remotely steal information on the server and control the server. To this end, the 360 Internet Security Center issued an orange warning of network risks, reminding websites and enterprises to update and install security patches in a timely manner to avoid major risks after vulnerabilities are exploited.

The vulnerability number is a CVE-2014-6271. I do not know whether the Android system of the Linux kernel will be affected. By exploiting this vulnerability, attackers may take over the entire operating system of a computer, access confidential information, and modify the system.

Experts suggest that anyone's computer system should be immediately patched if Bash software is used. This vulnerability can spread only when it is supported by the network. Conditional enterprise users can disconnect unnecessary servers from the network to prevent servers from being attacked by the Bash vulnerability, until the vulnerability is fixed.

For open-source platforms that have always been known for security, Linux has been found to have a level 10 Security Vulnerability, one of which is frequently used as a part of "Bash", or can cause control of enterprise servers, this vulnerability also provides a reminder to enterprise users.
