@ChocolateOverflow generally plugging stuff in automounts in Windows, unless you have a security policy which disallows it, in which case you would need admin privileges
@ChocolateOverflow Also, what a great username :-)
@JourneymanGeek I now only have 7 machines running linux here. A few RPis, 2 empegs on Debian, and an Ubuntu machine. I'm losing my nerdy geek crdentials every year
I mean I still have a bunch of HPUx, AIX and Irix machines, so all is not lost
@JourneymanGeek I used to have a few old sgi boxen, but some had to go. 2 big Personal Irises ended up just being noisy room heaters, but I still have my O2 and an Octane
So ... apparently, not "all linux distros use CVSS v2", but rather this one CVE on Archlinux and Debian used CVSS v2 scoring without declaring which version they were using. And the OP was reading bug pages instead of CVSS scoring and getting confused.
So, the lesson is if CVSS scoring is used, confirm the version.
And when someone starts off with a vague impression of something and asks for a specific reason for it, make sure you get actual details and not an "undigested bit of beef" else you end up chasing ghosts ...
@ThoriumBR not using those terms, at least, without a little test to ensure that one isn't over generalising. It's not so much that a single outlier defeats the premise, but when the pattern isn't at all what you overgeneralised it to be.
