Researchers have discovered some serious security flaws threatening Linux. These vulnerabilities exist in Linux systemd component. According to the researchers, the vulnerabilities pose a risk to all systemd-based Linux distros. Linux Systemd Barraged With Multiple Vulnerabilities Allegedly, researchers at Qualys have disclosed some bugs targeting the Linux systemd component. Systemd provides the core building blocks for Linux and handles major processes after booting. As revealed, three vulnerabilities have targeted the systemd-journald, which is responsible for data collection and log storage. The vulnerabilities let an attacker gain root privileges on the target device. The researchers state that these vulnerabilities threaten all Linux distros based on systemd except a few. As stated in their  report , “To the best of our knowledge, all systemd-based Linux distributions are vulnerable, but SUSE Linux Enterprise 15, openSUSE Leap 15.0, and Fedora 28 and 29 are not explo

In the previous year, we reported several glitches and vulnerabilities in iOS 12 that allowed  bypassing the passcode lock screen . This time, a similar glitch happened with Android. A researcher has discovered a Skype bug that allowed bypassing Android authentication methods. Exploiting this vulnerability could give an attacker access to explicit user data on the device. Skype Bug Triggering Android Authentication Bypass A researcher has recently found a glitch in Skype as disclosed in his  LinkedIn post , a Skype bug could allow an attacker to bypass Android authentication and gain access to the devices content. According to researcher Florian Kunushevci, the vulnerability has allegedly affected all Android devices with Skype installed. “A new vulnerability that I found on Skype has been fixed that affected millions of Android devices around the world that uses Skype.” As per his findings, the problem existed because of exploiting the Skype call feature. All it takes
