It's been a long and hard couple of weeks in the #Linux world, but at @npub1ax5…lujq we've been hyper-focused on our community as always. @npub17k6…r3xx did a fantastic writeup that gives you a quick status checkin of where we are, and where we still need your help. https://forums.almalinux.org/t/security-roundup-copy-fail-dirty-frag-nginx-rift-fragnesia-and-ssh-keysign-pwn/7315

This is why @npub1ax5…lujq shipped the new kernels with patches for this exploit, even though it was so late on a Friday night. It’s brutal.
