Vulns: Summerschool Aachen Immunity Weakness
Our analyst team has learned of the existence of a flu virus. The virus is considered to be in the wild Participants of the Summerschool run a high risk of remote infection.
It is known to target tired out participants. Currently it is impossible to determine how many systems are already compromised. Infrastructure analysis suggests a maximum infection spread of 95%.
After activation symptoms include loss of temperature, tiredness and the production of snorting noises. The Virus has a limited runtime of 7 days.
Currently there is no known solution or workaround to the problem. To protect yourself we advise the use of sleep and vitamin c or to completely take down vulnerable systems until a patch is available
This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list, which standardizes names for security problems.
- Update
- The virus still spreads out in the wild. Reliable sources report on at least one more infection.<br>Further analysis characterises it as a highly polymorphic virus with customisable damage routine. After infection it defers its outbreak for about three days to spread out unrecognised between participants.<br>The only plausible workaround appears to be the establishment of a chroom(2)-jail (aka quarantine) on the main floor.
