minus-squareShortN0te@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up12·2 years agoI agree, all this attention grabbing sound to me as if this is actually not a big deal. But we will see i guess.
minus-squareFangedWyvern42@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·2 years agoI still remember hearing about a Ring 0 exploit in Windows (I may be misremembering, though) that required Ring 0 access. I think if an attacker has access to Ring 0, you’re already screwed anyway.
