Ukuphepha kwe-inthanethi kuyinsimu ethole ukuvelela okukhulu ezindaweni zezinkampani muva nje.
Nakuba kuyiqiniso ukuthi le nkinga ibilokhu ibalulekile ezinkampanini, izindawo ezintsha, njenge-cloud computing, i-Ransomware kanye nobuthakathaka be-Meltdown kanye ne-Spectre, ziphakamise ukukhathazeka ngamazinga angakaze abonwe ngaphambili.
Engxoxweni yakamuva neLinux.com, uGreg Kroah-Hartman, umthuthukisi we-Linux kernel, uxoxe ngokuphepha kwi-Linux kernel nokuthi babhekana kanjani nezinkinga zokuphepha ezivele.
Ukuphepha Okokuqala ku-Linux
UGreg Kroah-Hartman, ongomunye wabashayi besisindo ekuthuthukiseni i-Linux kernel, unikeze isitatimende kusayithi leLinux.com ukuthi ungabhekana kanjani futhi ulungise izinkinga zokuphepha.
Ukhulume ngendlela abasingatha futhi balungise ngayo izinkinga zokuphepha , futhi kulokho yena ngokwakhe akuvumile, kubonakala sengathi ngezinye izikhathi imvelaphi yabo ivela ezindaweni ezingalindelekile.
Isibonelo, uKroah-Hartman walungisa isiphazamisi esingalungile esikhathini esithile esedlule, kepha eminyakeni emithathu kamuva iRed Hat yathola ukuthi empeleni kwakuyingozi.
Lokhu kushade isitatimende esenziwe nguLinus Torvalds, lapho ethe khona amaphutha amaningi okuphepha ayizimbungulu.
Engxoxweni yevidiyo ye-Q & A neLinux Foundation, uGreg Kroah-Hartman ukhuluma ngezinkinga ngeMeltdown neSpecter nokuthi kungani iLinux Kernel, yize ithole izinambuzane ezahlukahlukene ezitholakala kuyo, ngokombono wakhe, iphephe kakhulu.
USwapnil Bhartiya unikeze iLinux Foundation ingxoxo emfushane yevidiyo noGreg Kroah-Hartman, osebenza "ibhizinisi eliwumgogodla" ngesikhathi uLinus engekho.
Umthuthukisi we-kernel uqinisekisile ukuthi ukuphepha kwe-Linux kuyinkinga ebaluleke kakhulu futhi kusemqoka kakhulu ekuthuthukisweni kwayo.
Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi "iLinux inika amandla umhlaba." Isibonelo, abantu abaningi ngokwengeziwe bagcina idatha ebucayi kuma-smartphone abo futhi abafuni abantu besithathu ukuthi bayifinyelele.
Lapho ebuzwa ukuthi imuphi ungqimba lwe-kernel olwalumhlupha kakhulu, uKroah-Hartman wabiza izimbungulu ze-Meltdown ne-Specter.
Isibopho esiningi konjiniyela
Okukhathaza abathuthukisi ukuthi kufanele balungise into abangayiboni njengesemsebenzini wabo , okungukuthi, ihadiwe.
Imvamisa usebenza ku-kernel ezungeze i- "black box CPU" nxazonke. Kepha ama-CPU azosebenzisa amaqhinga amaningi nangaphezulu ukuthuthukisa ukusebenza. La maqhinga kwesinye isikhathi angawela ezinyaweni zabathuthukisi, futhi i-kernel kuzodingeka ilungise lezi zinkinga.
Sekukonke, uKroah-Hartman wayeqiniseka ukuthi i-kernel iphephile kakhulu. Phakathi kwezinye izinto, ingqalasizinda yokuhlola eye yathuthukiswa eminyakeni edlule izosiza ekuvimbeleni amaphutha ukuthi angaveli lapho i-kernel patch ikhishwa emphakathini.
Iqiniso lokuthi ama-fuzzers afana ne-Syzcaller kaGoogle athola izimbungulu eziningana ku-Kernel lingachazwa iqiniso lokuthi abacwaningi bezokuphepha namuhla bahlola amazinga ajulile e-Kernel ukuthola izimbungulu ezingakaze zihlolwe ngaphambili.
Kulezi zinga kunamaphutha kwesinye isikhathi asevele akhona isikhathi eside. Kuze kube manje, bambalwa kuphela abantu ababuke le khodi.
Ngakho-ke uKroah-Hartman wayengeke athi "umhlaba uvutha umlilo", kodwa ngenxa yokuhlolwa okuyinkimbinkimbi, abathuthukisi manje sebenhle kakhulu ekutholeni izimbungulu ze-kernel.
Umhleli wezinhlelo ugcizelele ukuthi "benza ukuhlolwa okwengeziwe" ukuqinisekisa ukuphepha okuphezulu kwe-Linux Kernel, nokuthi emzuliswaneni wokugcina wokulungiswa kokuphepha basebenze izinyanga ezine kuphela ngoba babevinjelwe.
Kepha ngemuva kwenqubo eyinkimbinkimbi, uyavuma ukuthi "izinto zibheke phezulu impela."
Izindaba ezimnandi kochwepheshe ukuthi lokhu kukhathazeka okwandisiwe kuvula amathuba emisebenzi amasha, njengoba ochwepheshe bezokuphepha kwe-cyber bazofunwa ngokuya phambili.
