OpenAI Finds 948 Linux Exploits as Crypto Security Tightens

TLDR OpenAI identified 948 distinct Linux kernel flaws and developed working attacks during controlled security tests. The company spent approximately $1.21 million on the research, averaging $1,279 per confirmed flaw with a working exploit. The flaws could allow someone with limited access to gain administrator control of affected Linux systems. OpenAI estimated the hypothetical value of the exploits at between $18.9 million and $66.3 million. Linux supports blockchain nodes, cryptocurrency exchange systems and other digital infrastructure.
