Russell Coker about Copy Fail on Debian and on SE Linux

Russell wrote a good and informative blog post about the Linux kernel vulnerability called “Copy Fail”. And he also mentions the good work of the people behind GrapheneOS, which isn’t vulnerable. Let me cite this passage of his:

“The GrapheneOS people are doing really good work on securing phones, I am most interested in Mobian (Debian on phones) but for people who have made different choices GrapheneOS is a good option. Here is the GrapheneOS statement on Copy Fail (they are not vulnerable to it) [3]. For people interested in running a secure Android build GrapheneOS is the best option. Their supported devices list shows Pixel 6 to Pixel 10 supported and Pixel 8 to Pixel 10a recommended [4]. In Australia Kogan sells refurbished Pixel 6 phones starting at $251 including delivery and refurbished Pixel 8 phones starting at $499 with “First” membership, they seem to have the cheapest Pixel phones.

I want to make Debian more like Android in terms of security, but that’s a topic for other blog posts.”

Thanks etbe!
