sscaryterry··on Firecracker VM Escape: PwnEscape Part 2
This vulnerability does not require firecracker. The CVE does not mention firecracker at all.

Ruby is not Rails. The same way Linux KVM is not Firecracker. You cannot paint everything with the same brush. The author chose to make this sensationalist by implying its a firecracker issue. It is not.

I've repeatedly explained this.

The op is known to not read and spew propaganda.

You don't because you consider KVM to be part of Firecracker?

And honestly, how the &*DK is this ANYTHING related to firecracker?

They 100% added this because they want to be regulated, sued, blamed.
sscaryterry··on Firecracker VM Escape: PwnEscape Part 2
They ran it without a jailer, and exploited a bug in the linux socket code. Firecracker was just how they invoked/worked with /dev/kvm. It is not a firecracker bug. Its sensationalist nonsense.

Exactly, its not a firecracker issue. Using firecracker without a jailer is like setting your password to "password".

Yes, 2 months is ancient if 0 days is the game.
sscaryterry··on Firecracker VM Escape: PwnEscape Part 2
Firecracker v1.17.0 was released 10 September, so the version is ancient.

The article is light on details, it is LLM slop.

This is pure LLM slop.

Agreed, but let’s not make such wild statements. Racism and xenophobia does not look at the colour of the perpetrator’s skin.

You are clearly misinformed.

Remember. Linux is a kernel. You can get the macOS userland to behave GNU/Linux like. Use homebrew :)

Exactly! This is the only place I like using LLMs, making old stuff work again, breathing new life into it. Containing it so it doesn't create security issues.

Exactly :) Its a pity people are so gullible that they cannot see, that people, truly are bastards.

As far as I know, to become a CA, with the requirements and ceremonies involved, this type of mistake must never happen. Assuming malice instead of ignorance is reasonable here. The entire premise of a CA, is trust.
