Presumably, they just change the boot command in grub to boot directly into
/bin/bashto avoid any Linux password prompts (booting into single user mode viasinglewill still ask for the root password, if set). So just setting a password in grub for any non-default boot menu entry would help with that (in addition to preventing booting from any other source without password entry).Requiring manual password entry for every reboot has, of course, practical problems.
No response from our vendor yet (Asus).
They got a lot more professional email domains. Very useful for resumes. /s
Seems that +1 host, got this mail from own.tn:
But my kz vps works fine (for that moment)
Lucky for me, I didn't get a email from OWN.TN, so only Kazakhstan was affected and not the location where I have a server with them. I really don't need to lose yet another server to this IPMI exploit.
Uruguay is not affected, at least for now (mine is still running)
Mine has been completely dead for hours so... back your stuff up ASAP.
Mine was rebooted 8 hours ago (downtime was 7 minutes, and still running).
There is nothing to back up; there are just vpn. But thanks. We will see what will be next
Ok, mine goes offline now
