Security researchers have disclosed three vulnerabilities that affect a system service part of 'systemd,' a core component in Linux that manages system processes after the boot process.

Microsoft and Canonical have teamed up to add systemd support to the Windows Subsystem for Linux, allowing a larger number of compatible apps to be installed.

Security experts are warning of a bug that could allow hackers to craft TCP packets that fool Linux's initialization deamon systemd, which could cause systems to crash or make them run malicious ...
