Comment on Security and docker
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 month agoHow is the Linux kernel more insecure than anything else? It isn’t this massive gapping hole like you make it sound. In 20 years how many serious organization destroying vulnerabilities have there been? It is pretty solid.
I guess we should all use whatever proprietary software thing you think is best

The Linux kernel is less secure for running untrusted software than a VM because most hypervisors have a far smaller attack surface.
The CVEs differ? The reasons that most organizations don’t get destroyed is that they don’t run untrusted software on the same kernels that process their sensitive information.
This is a ridiculous attack. I never suggested anything about proprietary software. Linux’s KVM is pretty great.
