I fell it’s going to be a bad couple of months for everybody, not just Linux. It’s just with open source, it’s easier for the LLMs to find things that have been missed. And more open when they do because you can see the bug reports.
On the bright side though I think security is an afterthought and it needs to be the default on internet facing software.
That a hacker hasn’t bothered to look except the lowest hanging sql injections isn’t enough.
And, I know vibe coding gets a deserved bad rap, but you can ask an AI to test out your security or point out obvious holes you might not know to look for.
I thought it’s great, since those exploits didn’t just come from thin air. It would be bad if someone got their hands on a zero-day and managed to do something catastrophic, like shutting down airports, or blowing up a power plant.
Also, it’s not like they’re losing money over this.
It feels like a terrible horrible no good bad month for Linux :(
