Access to dmesg will be restricted in Ubuntu 20.10

Posted on

Currently, non-privileged Ubuntu users do not have access to /var/log/kern.log, /var/log/syslog, and system events in journalctl but can view the kernel event log through dmesg. The reason given is the presence of information in the output of dmesg that could be exploited by attackers for […]

Posted on

Sebastian Krause identified the source of a strange incompatibility with the Bypass service of the dehydrated script, which is used for automating TLS certificate acquisition via the ACME protocol. Both the reference client and uacme work with Bypass, but not dehydrated (to be precise, it also worked with some workarounds, but exclusively in dns-1 mode). The reason turned out to be trivial: instead of parsing the response in JSON format by […]
