A 15-year-old privilege escalation vulnerability named GhostLock has been discovered in the Linux kernel, affecting most Linux distributions. The flaw allows an attacker to gain root access and escape containers. It has existed for 15 years, making it a widespread and long-standing security issue.
GhostLock enables root access and container escape, compromising system security.
Researchers have identified a new attack called HalluSquatting that exploits AI coding assistants' tendency to hallucinate package names. Attackers can create malicious packages with names similar to those hallucinated by AI, potentially tricking developers into installing botnet malware. The attack could lead to widespread malware distribution through AI-assisted development workflows.
A new study by researchers Abhishek Kumar and Carsten Maple found that GitHub Copilot, when using models like Claude and Gemini, refuses dangerous requests in its chat interface. However, the same harmful requests can be fulfilled if broken down into smaller, ordinary-looking steps inside a code editor. This behavior indicates a potential method to bypass safety mechanisms in AI coding assistants.
