Linux Kernel 4.8 Getting Microsoft Surface 3 Touchscreen Support, RC1 Out Now
It's been two full weeks since the official release of Linux kernel 4.7, which is the latest and most advanced stable branch, and the time has come for Linus Torvalds to announce the first Release Candidate for the upcoming Linux 4.8…
There's currently no word on Linux kernel 4.8 being the next LTS (Long Term Support) branch, but it looks like it's on its way to becoming one of the biggest releases that have been announced lately. The merge window is now officially closed, and the first Release Candidate development milestone of the Linux 4.8 kernel changes no less than 10787 files, with 612208 insertions and 272098 deletions.
"Due to travel last week, I actually still have a few pull requests pending in my inbox that I just wanted to take another look at before merging," says Linus Torvalds. "This seems to be building up to be one of the bigger releases lately, but let's see ho...

Kognitive Analyse für identifizierte Bedrohung: Erhöhte Bedrohungslage im Bereich Linux Kernel 4.8 Getting Microsoft Surfa.... Basierend auf 368k Vektor-Korrelationen werden sofortige Isolationsmaßnahmen für betroffene Endpunkte empfohlen.
Netzwerk/Remote-Zugriff ohne Vorauthentifizierung möglich.
- 1. Perimeter-Inspektion: Relevante Portfreigaben und exponierte Endpunkte unverzüglich scannen.
- 2. Patch-Applikation: Hersteller-Hotfix einspielen oder betroffene Daemons in isolierte DMZ-Segmente überführen.
- 3. Telemetrie & EDR-Alerts: Prozessaufrufe und Child-Processes auf anomale Shell-Spawns überwachen.
