Doing things @ ring 0 is usually done for speed, less message passing overheads (in fact, both Linux & Windows do their http.sys/http daemon that way, for example, nowadays @ least, but not in the past).

1st - Linux also doesn't have as high quality drivers or as many because board makers KNOW what is "running the show/market " out there, Windows - so, they cater to it immensely!

2nd - Nor does Linux have as many games, by FAR, either (this is mostly the home market in fact!)

3rd - Not only that. but Linux, in its KERNEL ONLY mind you? Has 4x the unpatched security vulnerabilities Windows 7 has (which IS a complete "distro" with all of its parts, not just a kernel only)!

4th - Despite all those "Open 'SORES'" eyes (most of whom couldn't code to SAVE THEIR LIVES mind you) allegedly poring over Linux code, how come it has that many more unpatched bugs than Windows 7 has, hmmm??

Closed source is HARDER for hacker/crackers to attack as well, because you're stuck either disassembling it (especially tough with kernel level debuggers) OR fuzzing it, either is tougher than searching out problems in Linux, which you just load into a compiler & step trace its "Open 'SORES'" code with to find screwups in security... hence it still has more security bugs, AND, they are unpatched (despite all the "Open 'SORES'" eyes poring over it, lol!)

Fact, period!

5th - In fact, Linux's kernel ALONE has 4x the # of unpatched bugs the ENTIRE SUITE/ARRAY OF WHAT MICROSOFT GIVES YOU TO DO BUSINESS & DEVELOPMENT WITH!

1st - Linux also doesn't have as high quality drivers or as many because board makers KNOW what is "running the show/market " out there, Windows - so, they cater to it immensely!

2nd - Nor does Linux have as many games, by FAR, either (this is mostly the home market in fact!)

3rd - Not only that. but Linux, in its KERNEL ONLY mind you? Has 4x the unpatched security vulnerabilities Windows 7 has (which IS a complete "distro" with all of its parts, not just a kernel only)!

4th - Despite all those "Open 'SORES'" eyes (most of whom couldn't code to SAVE THEIR LIVES mind you) allegedly poring over Linux code, how come it has that many more unpatched bugs than Windows 7 has, hmmm??

Closed source is HARDER for hacker/crackers to attack as well, because you're stuck either disassembling it (especially tough with kernel level debuggers) OR fuzzing it, either is tougher than searching out problems in Linux, which you just load into a compiler & step trace its "Open 'SORES'" code with to find screwups in security... hence it still has more security bugs, AND, they are unpatched (despite all the "Open 'SORES'" eyes poring over it, lol!)

Fact, period!

5th - In fact, Linux's kernel ALONE has 4x the # of unpatched bugs the ENTIRE SUITE/ARRAY OF WHAT MICROSOFT GIVES YOU TO DO BUSINESS & DEVELOPMENT WITH!

Ok. Considering that you've claimed I have reading comprehension difficulties, I find this amusing. From the same page you linked to:

Vulnerabilities #1, #6, and #7 are fixed in version version 2.6.39.3 and 2.6.35.14. Vulnerabilities #2 through #5 and #10 are fixed in version 2.6.35.14.

So, that's vulnerabilities #1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 10, fixed in version 2.6.35.14. I previously mentioned that there was a patch for 8, and 9 requires special capabilities applied to the user or application.

For http://secunia.com/advisories/14295/, all 18 of those issues have been fixed, not none of them. This is the one that hasn't been updated on the secunia site in nearly 6 years. What a shocker that a notice that hasn't been updated doesn't have up to date information. I previously wrote:

Issues 4-18 from that page are fixed in kernel 2.6.11. Issue 3 is only for 2.4 kernels and is fixed in 2.4.32-rc1. Issue 2 is fixed in 2.6.11.2. Issue 1 is apparently fixed in 2.6.8.1.

Once again, the ball is in your court to prove that those 18 issues from an out of date notice are still issues since they're listed as fixed in other sources.

As for the third link you were proudly posting before and now seem to be silently ignoring: http://secunia.com/advisories/19402/, despite the many times you posted it, you were apparently incapable of reading the part of it that said:

Solution
Update to version 2.6.16.1.

As for your fixes to the Windows issues disabling functionality, you're not actually saying that they don't disable functionality, just that you don't think the functionality is important. I agree that it's probably not very important functionality, but it's still functionality that's being disabled. I'm only making an issue of this because you attempted to lambast me and label me a liar for saying that your fixes disabled functionality. Your fixes do, so my statement, which wasn't of any real importance anyway, was accurate.

Ok. Considering that you've claimed I have reading comprehension difficulties, I find this amusing. From the same page you linked to:

Vulnerabilities #1, #6, and #7 are fixed in version version 2.6.39.3 and 2.6.35.14. Vulnerabilities #2 through #5 and #10 are fixed in version 2.6.35.14.

So, that's vulnerabilities #1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 10, fixed in version 2.6.35.14. I previously mentioned that there was a patch for 8, and 9 requires special capabilities applied to the user or application.

For http://secunia.com/advisories/14295/, all 18 of those issues have been fixed, not none of them. This is the one that hasn't been updated on the secunia site in nearly 6 years. What a shocker that a notice that hasn't been updated doesn't have up to date information. I previously wrote:

Issues 4-18 from that page are fixed in kernel 2.6.11. Issue 3 is only for 2.4 kernels and is fixed in 2.4.32-rc1. Issue 2 is fixed in 2.6.11.2. Issue 1 is apparently fixed in 2.6.8.1.

Once again, the ball is in your court to prove that those 18 issues from an out of date notice are still issues since they're listed as fixed in other sources.

As for the third link you were proudly posting before and now seem to be silently ignoring: http://secunia.com/advisories/19402/, despite the many times you posted it, you were apparently incapable of reading the part of it that said:

Solution
Update to version 2.6.16.1.

As for your fixes to the Windows issues disabling functionality, you're not actually saying that they don't disable functionality, just that you don't think the functionality is important. I agree that it's probably not very important functionality, but it's still functionality that's being disabled. I'm only making an issue of this because you attempted to lambast me and label me a liar for saying that your fixes disabled functionality. Your fixes do, so my statement, which wasn't of any real importance anyway, was accurate.

That one for Windows? ColorUI.DLL??

What would you need that for in a SERVER first of all, especially one run in "headless" mode???

It's also EASILY worked-around, via 1 of 2 methods:

1.) Unregister the offending DLL (colorui.dll) IF it is of an OLE Server type lib/dll (or blow it off the disk & replace it with a stub until a patch releases, replacing it in "System File Protection Areas" Windows maintains also, to stop it being replaced again with a non-patched model...).

or

2.) Run in headless mode (which many servers do, & they run MORE EFFICIENTLY by not running the GUI too this way).

So once more: How come I keep hearing that Linux is "so secure" here all the time over the years now?

That are remotely exploitable in the current latest Linux kernel, but they are in multiple parts (so there's more like 20 of them)):

So once more: How come I keep hearing that Linux is "so secure" here all the time over the years now?

Need not apply, because that's EXACTLY what your replies are. I posted those links all thru my posts but I'll post them again for your reference (not only are there 3 remote unpatched ones in the current latest Linux kernel, but they are in MULTIPLE PARTS (more like 20 of them)):

The 2 outstanding unpatched in Windows Server 2008 by way of comparison are SINGLE issues, & easily worked around (servers run headless, don't need colorui.dll that way, &/or unregister said lib, problem solved) + The %PATH% problem's just a matter of editing out % variable related ones that don't expand out properly via the SYSTEM icon in control panel (gui easy) - fixed.

* QUESTION: Can you do the same for all the outstanding unpatched remotely exploitable security vulnerabilities in Linux?

(I'd like to see that if you can is all...)

APK

P.S.=> I'll be waiting for that question above being answered most of all, & as far as folks around here saying Ed Bott's "full of it" well, he got the answers he got from both DELL & HP: Neither company is stopping folks from installing Linux, or even TRYING to... What Linux folks cannot seem to stand, is that they're in last place is all (in terms of overall marketshare/usage) - & Mr. Bott's article shows the LENGTHS (reprehensible ones no less) they will go to to try to change that (since they're in danger of "extinction" pretty much)... apk

Or, is that "too hard", asking them to keep up with changes?

Also, per the article, I didn't see ANY MAJOR VENDORS ASKED STATE THAT THEY WOULDN'T ALLOW IT TO BE TURNED OFF IN THE SYSTEM SETUP!

(Did I miss something? If so, show me where in said article of Mr. Bott's, thanks!)

(Dumb though it is to do that, especially for Linux KERNEL ALONE, which has 4x++ the amount of security vulnerabilities Windows Server 2008 has, & 3 MULTI-PART remotely exploitable issues (lol, more like 20 of them when you look at them)).

Now, by way of comparison?

Windows Server 2008 has ONLY 2 SINGLE PART REMOTELY EXPLOITABLE ONES, & they're easily enough worked around too, as follows:

http://secunia.com/advisories/41874/

That one for Windows? ColorUI.DLL??

What would you need that for in a SERVER first of all, especially one run in "headless" mode???

It's also EASILY worked-around, via 1 of 2 methods:

1.) Unregister the offending DLL (colorui.dll) IF it is of an OLE Server type lib/dll (or blow it off the disk & replace it with a stub until a patch releases, replacing it in "System File Protection Areas" Windows maintains also, to stop it being replaced again with a non-patched model...).

or

2.) Run in headless mode (which many servers do, & they run MORE EFFICIENTLY by not running the GUI too this way).

http://secunia.com/advisories/41984/

That one's EVEN EASIER!

All one has to do, is inspect the %PATH% environment var (echo %PATH% via commandline OR use the SYSTEM icon in control panel to edit it, both systemwide globally, OR by user profiles!).

* Also - it might also be a GOOD IDEA to disallow apps that run by batch using SET statements also (they can SET & append things to the %PATH%).

---

* NOW, IF "little ole' me" CAN FIGURE THOSE WORK-AROUNDS OUT? Then, certainly, the Linux guys can figure out a way, programmatically, to overcome this (apparently not - odd, considering all those "Open SORES eyes" poring over its code don't DO VERY WELL, now do they? Even WHEN many of them are BIGTIME PROS from Novell &/or IBM, heck, even MS guys have helped on that note with Linux too!)

APK

P.S.=> NOW - Care to show me workarounds for ALL the remote problems in Linux's latest/greatest kernel?

I just worked around BOTH remotely vulnerable unpatched issues easily in Windows & in a couple ways!

BOTTOM-LINE HERE, is this: FIRST - Show me that Ed Bott's lying, ok? I say that, because FOR PETE'S SAKE - Linux folks WANT TO TURN OFF A GREAT SECURITY FEATURE, instead of adapting their OS to it!

No one can tell me "it can't be done" - I've been coding forever, 17++ yrs. as a pro in addition to network administration work, & there's always an answer!

(Yes - Sometimes, it's "paperclip/rubberband/chicken-wire rig work", & others it's not & takes longer, but they all get solved! This is the NICE part about coding in fact (most of the time, lol, & I've been doing it as a pro since 1994)).

SECOND - Then, show me you can work-around the 3 MULTIPLE PART REMOTELY UNPATCHED SECURITY ISSUES IN THE "LATEST/GREATEST" LINUX KERNEL, ok?? Good luck, you'll NEED it (but, you can show us all how much you really, REALLY understand your Linux OS!)

In the end???

Linux will still have 4x++ the # of UNPATCHED SECURITY VULNERABILIES in its "latest/greatest" kernel anyhow, see SECUNIA.COM for that (that's what they report & do, specifically/largely there) & per my LAST post here -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2506468&cid=37939566 ?

*That's ALL pretty current information... very recent too, & as anyone reading can see? Linux isn't really "big" on security, especially lately!

APK

P.S.=> And, lastly of course? There's ANDROID (a Linux variant/uses Linux kernel) so please, tell us - how's ANDROID doing on the security front?? Not very well...

This is sort of funny on that note in fact: I tried to post all of the known security issues I have catalogued here for it, & SLASHDOT's FORUM ENGINE CAN'T EVEN HANDLE THE LOAD (too many is why)...

Fact is, Android shows anyone that once Linux got a decent share of market on a platform, it too, can be found to be insecure & was benefitting on PC's via "security-by-obscurity" only (lack of widespread usage vs. competitors) & since nobody was using it? Why bother attack it (mindset of hacker/cracker types is this)!

Yes folks, from the mindset of hacker/crackers - this is, how it REALLY is.

All the "fud" you heard on /. for years was "LINUX IS SECURE, WINDOWS IS NOT" b.s. ... so much for that, in light of current information above, and yes, next below too!

There in ANDROID also? Bugs in the kernel too, not just bugs in the JAVA/Dalvik front end have been found on that note also.

Now, lol, the "Penguins" are trying to get a great security feature disabled to boot (pun intended) apparently, because they aren't able to keep pace with changes?

Tough cookies!

Guys, listen - they ALL need work on the security front, every OS there is!

Even though Wind

Linux isn't doing well on that front lately (all current data here):

Not only does Linux have 4x++ the amount of unpatched security vulnerabilities its competitor Windows Server 2008 does, but it bears 3 remotely exploitable unpatched security vulnerabilities (THE WORST KIND!):

http://secunia.com/advisories/44754/

http://secunia.com/advisories/19402/

http://secunia.com/advisories/14295/

The Linux folks are talking DISABLING SECURITY here? They're essentially asking a great security feature BE STOPPED on secure boot!

(Gosh, why's that? So they can continue to hack Windows perhaps?? I'd say so, but it seems lately Linux is taking a HUGE "Beating" on the security-front, see next below on that very note in fact!)
