GNU / Linux is a very secure operating system, but not infallible . So has been shown in the ShmooCon hacker conference. The safety specialist IBM's X-Force, Jon Larimer, demonstrated with a specially rigged pendrive had a security hole.
The origin of the fault is in the Evince package and the ability of some distributions automatically mount USB devices . Evince generates a thumbnail that is displayed in Nautilus and in the process installed an exploit that takes control of the system with current user privileges.
free community monitors the source itself, though one thinks otherwise and has reaction capacity than large firms and bureaucracy, so failure is solved and Evince is sufficient update.
When you speak in DySPC "Diagnosis and PC anti-virus solutions online in any comments could be read a certain reluctance to use this software for prevention. Error, not to mention more than one user works as root save by introducing key steadily.
Always pay attention to what you do, because human ingenuity is unlimited and the popularity of this great operating system, sooner or later will be the target of malware . As heard in a movie whose name I forget: "If you can imagine, can be done." I hope they can use this information.
