musl isn’t vulnerable, as per https://fosstodon.org/@musl/112711796005712271

The exploit isn’t that practicable, since it takes a very long time on 32 bit systems, which are ever rarer to see.

They could get RasPis below 4th gen running outdated software, I guess. I think I read elsewhere that Debian already had a patch out some time ago, so that number is also likely diminishingly small.

I have no idea when I last updated my RasPi 0s (none of which is exposed to the public).

Most images and distros are just Raspbian at their core and as such are pretty easy to upgrade.

I upgraded my homebridge/pihole from Bullseye to Bookworm just a few days ago and it went off without a hitch.

But it isn’t musl based? And I never heard it had anything except for the rolling release?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
