Is openSUSE vulnerable to the DirtyCOW bug?

If so which version?

From what I can see LEAP 42.1 has been patched last night. I am not sure about Tumbleweed and 42.2 and older versions.

Is it a problem in the kernel or in the filesystem? Bob -- Bob Williams System: Linux 4.4.24-1-default Distro: openSUSE 42.2 (x86_64) Desktop: KDE Frameworks: 5.26.0, Qt: 5.6.1 and Plasma: 5.8.1

That patch seems to cause a jump from kernel 4.1.31 to 4.4.25, is that correct?

I just updated my 42.1 system and it installed kernel-source-4.1.34. AFAIK the 4.4 kernel is 42.2. Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Mine's at 3.12.62-55.1 too.

I nominally changed from 13.1 to 13.2 last month. There weren't many changes.. I did it via a network upgrade, altering the repos. I was using, as Regular Readers will recall, Kernel_Stable even back then, so was on series 4 kernel even with 13.1 The advances & improvement in the series 4 kernels, not least of all in performance due to the way kernel locks operate, are multitudinous and well documented. There are other repositories with bleeding edge kernel updates, even more so than 'factory', but I do make the point that I use kernel_STABLE. The only 'experimentation' I'd be interested in would be Reiser4, and even with that I'd still want a series 4 kernel base. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I don't subscribe to the "make Linux 3 Great Again" politics :-(

The 4 series has many improvements and enhancements.

yes, that is my experience

I'm surprised at this coming from you, Patrick, since I know you run a 'rolling release' and are normally forward in attitude, quite refuting the myth that us 'Whitebeards' are conservative fuddy-duddies.

Would be nice to see the patch for 13.2 quite soon, since we still have many 13.2 systems - Thanks!

By the way, on the most critical 13.2 systems I have installed kernel-default-4.1.34-33.1.x86_64 from 42.1 which seems to work - but maybe this is not recommended...

Perfect. Thanks a lot!

And the repositories are utterly swamped. Don't rush in to do this update right now. Mine has been busy for over 2 hours. Downloading kernel desktop at 15 B/s.

Just for the record, Marcus, booting into the 3.16.7-45-desktop kernel from this update (i) hoses Ethernet connectivity where this was originally configured via NetworkManager rather than Wicked, and (ii), while my external USB soundcard can seemingly be successfully configured in YaST, system sound otherwise isn't working -- KMix is missing from the System Tray (and doesn't load when prompted via ALT+F2), and entries for both the built-in and USB sounds card are blanked-out in the Multimedia section of KDE Settings. (i) can obviously be solved by switching over to Wicked, whereas (ii) I will leave to your considerable expertise!
