Just a moment...
Five local privilege escalation (LPE) vulnerabilities have been discovered in the needrestart utility used by Ubuntu Linux, which was introduced over 10 years ago in version 21.04.
My, how time flies.
I knew COVID wrecked the world's internal clock but this is ridiculous!
Ugh. The realization that 21.04 was actually three and a half years ago has me a bit depressed...
