Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

RFC: As I understand it this exploit requires local access and cannot be deployed remotely. Is this a correct analysis?

right, but remote code execution comes in many different ways. Having a machine vulnerable to this kind of privilege escalation is a really bad thing.

Certainly. I don't discount that any exploit is 'really bad'. I like my OS of choice to be as free of exploits as it can possibly be. However, some of the material I was reading involved areas of Linux that I have little if any knowledge of value with, so I thought I'd as the question.
