The Chinese Army uses Linux. I wonder why it has not been fixed.

I thought WIN’s “flaws” and “bugs” were ***features***? LOL.

Not familiar with the specifics of the code, but possible motive is built-in back door for “certain agencies” to have access.
If it only affects 64 bit systems it does not sound too serious to most users.
I started using Linux OS’s before 1995.

There was some discussion about this a couple of weeks ago. I think you pinged it, but I don't recall specifically.
Wojtczuk announced his findings at the Black Hat security conference here in Las Vegas. According to Wojtczuk, the vulnerability he re-discovered was actually first exposed and patched six years ago, albeit only on Linux systems.
Gotta love this. The only safe OS in this case, is Linux.

Big Woop!
Run a credentialed vulnerability scan, please, on a Wintel server and the scan will identify a number of High Risk vulnerabilities that have no remediation or fixes available.
Unpatchable High Risk vulnerabilities are business as usual for Wintel.

Why does the title say WINTEL? It appears to be exclusively Intel and not associated with Windows. Did I miss something?
