    TLDR:

    The new flaws are CVE-2025-6018 and CVE-2025-6019.

    The first is a vulnerability in PAM. The second is in libblockdev.

    The PAM vulnerability only affects SUSE Linux systems, other distros are not affected.

    Vulnerable versions of libblockdev are 2.25-2 and 2.28-2, newer updates have it fixed.

      So, if you’re using Arch, and you’ve run pacman -Syu within the past, I don’t know, year, you’re fine.

Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts
