I'm not a big Google fan but I will give credit where credit is due
They do put their money where their mouth is
I hate google but they still pay good money to opensource and take responsibility by organizing google summer of code.
Well money is all they have anymore.
Bluehammer guy is going exactly what he needs to do. This is a whole different issue and it’s demonstrating responsible disclosure working exactly the way it’s supposed to.
A separate vulnerability in Linux allows users with limited rights to escalate to root. Tracked as CVE-2026-43499, it lurked in the OS for 15 years. Researchers from Nebula Security said they discovered it using Vega, Nebula’s AI-assisted vulnerability scanner. Matt Lucas, a researcher and founder of RedEye Security, explained
This will become more and more common as we use AI to find vulnerabilities faster (hopefully) than bad actors can use AI to find vulnerabilities.
If you pay attention you can hear a hundred NSA assholes tear their hair out
This is why they restrict Mythos and similar.
They want the vulnerability machine, and they don’t want you to have it.
20 years of hoarding CVEs down the drain.
Now they'll never be able to gg ez their way into any country and will have to actually use their bribery budget to get more implants lol.
Which means the new paradigm will be 'every piece of hardware is a supply chain attack.'
cough TPM 2 cough
You don't think frontier AI models are leaving some out deliberately?
If they leave it out someone else will find it, the days of leaving things out deliberately past.
Keep in mind that the rate of errors caught by AI will not be consistent. It will drop off over time.
While I'm no fan of AI, that has nothing to do with it. Adding AI to error detection suites is (mostly) fine so long as you don't remove more tradional methods like code review, manually set up unit tests, and properly reviewing each failed test instead of just letting the AI slop in a patch.
My point is that any test you add to an existing codebase is going to catch a decent number of issues at first, then over time it will drop off as pre-existing issues get resolved. Then you'll be left with the lower rate of new issues from updates.
AI isn't a silver bullet. It (sometimes) is another tool in the toolbox.

I would fully agree with that statement.

Google uses https://github.com/google/gvisor in GCP. So it’s not affected by most vulnerabilities like this. But still makes sense they want the tech. Vm escapes would be really bad for them.
That is for containers not VMs
ugh shit next week will be awful at work patching all those servers. At least they found it before bad actors did.
What KVM based hypervisor do you use that you can't just use ansible or some first party LCM to do it automatically?
Using Ansible, but it still means I need to run it and schedule patches etc. – you can't just patch stuff when people are currently working on it.
Ansible against which hypervisor?
Nice try Mr Hacker, you're not getting anything out of this BOFH 🙃
Oh AWS is gonna be spicy this week.
