Re: udev local root vulnerability

I read this on heise.de, too. Its a little missleading as it does not mention that version 141 is not affected. udev-141 is available in our repos since Do 09 Apr 2009 15:52:01 CEST.

Re: udev local root vulnerability

I had just read a similar article, and was worried that the Arch devs had missed out on posting the details but clearly we aren't affected (assuming "we" are all up to date)

Re: udev local root vulnerability

It concerned udev 127... Which apparently is still used by debian and the likes.
