jbrodriguez Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi NAS, I've seen you care a lot about security fixes in the kernel. Are those issues related to having a server connected to the raw internet (dhcp from isp for instance) ? I'm just asking to consider if my setup is "relatively" safe or nto : a discrete machine running a firewall server (vyos), all other servers/workstations behind this firewall. Quote Link to comment
NAS Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 It is purely because it is my day job. I do my best to cherry pick and post only stuff that: is and early heads up e.g. the current SSL http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=46906.0 the important stuff that only LT can fix e.g. kernel vulnerabilties, docker non main track notices e.g. oddball stuff I used to post Slackware stuff as well but LT is all over this now. If you are exposing services to the internet I would use only docker or a VM as the slow and steady unRAID release matra also includes security. As an example glibc is patched on every system i own now and unraid is still even to comment. This does not matter if you are presented a VM etc. If you want to talk more create a dedicated topic somewhere. There is some good stuff to cover here and some sanity saving context to add.
