Editing Talk:424: Security Holes

Could the Slackware one imply that harder nerds/geeks are more fond of this specific Linux distro? [[Special:Contributions/108.162.212.196|108.162.212.196]] 01:00, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps he's also implying aliens use OLPC? {{unsigned ip|108.162.216.45}}

I think the Xandros/EEE PC vulnerability "gives access if asked in a stern voice" is a reference to comic [[413: New Pet]], where Cueball and Megan made a pet out of a EEE PC on wheels inside a hamster ball. Pets sometimes need to be talked to sternly if they're unwilling to obey commands; in this case, a EEE PC needs to be talked to sternly in order to give the commander root access.

The Gentoo explanation does not make sense. Gentoos succumbing to flattery should mean the users use flattery on the Gentoo, not the other way around. --[[User:Flewk|flewk]] ([[User talk:Flewk|talk]]) 16:43, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Crippling Crypto (the first article mentioned as offering more detail on the Debian-OpenSSL vulnerability) analogises the resulting problem by partly reproducing [[221: Random Number]]. Should this be mentioned in this article or in 221, or both, or not mentioned in either? [[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.87|108.162.250.87]] 09:39, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

This has aged interestingly, given that about half of those security problems are legitimate weaknesses of current LLM AI models. Not the same as operating systems, of course, but you'd be terrified by how much people already trust them to be secure.[[Special:Contributions/172.71.183.72|172.71.183.72]] 12:00, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
