Serious Linux Bug

A couple of weeks ago one of the most significant bugs ever found in Linux was announced, here is why that matters to you:

1. If you run an Android you are almost surely vulnerable.*

2. I guarantee that you have services that depend on Linux

3. I guarantee that you have vendors who depend on it

My single most important vendors runs their services on it. This is exactly what makes Backup & Disaster Recovery Plans so important (BCDR) — it isn’t just YOUR computers that can be hacked, it can be anyone you depend on. We’ll see that in the news in the next months, with this bug.

*Google put out a fix but it isn’t likely to make it to your phone
