Is Linux Still Secure
724A bad week for #Linux and #FOSS vulnerabilities with a WannaCry like exploit for #Samba, Click Jacking in #Android, and Malicious Subtitles affecting #Kodi, #VLC, and #PopcornTime.
I discuss the exaggerated claims against Samba CVE-2017-7494, the Cloak & Dagger click jacking in Android, and malicious subtitles affecting VLC and Kodi. I also discuss how vulnerabilities in Linux kernel stack up to Apple MacOS and Windows.
