Ohstopyou 42 Posted September 26, 2014 It appears as if a new exploit is available against Unix (Linux) and Mac OSX clients/servers. It's called the Shellshock BASH Vulnerability. I'll link info here, but I hope everyone has received an update to patch this. If not, I suggest you find out how soon.

denwaotoko 0 Posted September 30, 2014 Since xG uses cloudflare (I think), I don't believe just solely updating the main server would help. That being said, I'm kinda hoping a company as big as cloudflare (They also host stuff like 4chan and other big-traffic websites) will take these measures and update accordingly.

Rhododendron 994 Posted October 22, 2014 All our machines have the following measures implemented that I coded: - Automatic kernel updating feature, which puts us on the latest version insanely quickly with around 30 seconds of downtime. - Weeky updates to all programs, just makes things functioning at the newest versions. I doubt anything will happen to us, and yes we use CloudFlare but not really for security haha, they offer cheap SSL certificates for unlimited domains so I use it to prevent unsecured posting. Gotta keep the community as safe as possible! (PS we ain't using SSLv3 so don't worry about that vulnerability either) 2 Ohstopyou and RichKnight reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
