Linux Kernel Security, Again

It's a sad day when an ancient fork bomb attack can still take down most of the latest Linux distributions.
"...I hope that anyone out there running Linux is just as surprised as I was that this ancient attack still works on the default installation of so many high profile Linux distributions."

Linux

Absolutely GREAT article. While I am only passingly familiar with Linux, especially at the sysadmin level, now that I have a unix box, it is nice to be able to learn a bit about some vulnerabilities.

Debian is my choice of a Linux distribution anyway, and it was secure from the fork bomb. Also, all the BSD distributions were secure, and that is the distro that my Mac is built on.

This article, and the comments attached to it, really highlights the need for constant security awareness - and not just for the vulnerable Windows products.
