KamiNuvinion Dirty Frag: Universal Linux LPE

Does anyone know whether Debian is vulnerable? I tried the exploit on a Debian 12+Debian 13 machine but wasn't able to reproduce it myself.

KamiNuvinion HAProxy 1.8.0

I actually had/have an issue with the systemd-wrapper haproxy uses in 1.7 where systemd gets confused when doing a reload + a restart before all sessions are closed. This caused haproxy to completely stop accepting connections until the systemd timeout kicked in and sent a kill -9

I reported it and was told it might not affect 1.8 since the systemd-wrapper is removed there, so gonna give this a try soon. See this thread: https://www.mail-archive.com/haproxy@formilux.org/msg27404.h...

(And I switched to only doing a reload notify in Ansible together with the hard-stop-after option in haproxy which is OK for me as well in 1.7)

KamiNuvinion GitLab 8.11 Released with Issue Boards and Merge Conflict Resolution

What made you pick Gitlab over Bitbucket? Both can be self-hosted, but I'm not sure yet which one to choose myself. We do use Jira/Confluence internally so we might want to stick within that ecosystem but I hear very good things about Gitlab. I believe both integrate well with Jira as well and support smartcommits. What were the advantages for you?
