Xiaomi responds to the US court's decision: It is gratified and will continue to request the court to make a final ruling that Decree 13959 is invalid for Xiaomi
On March 12, a U.S. federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against Xiaomi’s prosecution of the U.S. Department of Defense, prohibiting the U.S. Department of Defense from listing Xiaomi as a so-called "Chinese military-related company" policy to take effect or implement. Xiaomi issued a media statement on this. The content is as follows:
Xiaomi was very pleased to see that on March 12, Eastern Time, the court officially banned the recognition of Xiaomi as a Chinese military-related enterprise and stopped the restrictions imposed by Executive Order 13959 on Xiaomi. The court passed an injunction to lift the restrictions on American investors to buy and hold Xiaomi stocks and cancel the mandatory sale of Xiaomi stocks, and the ban took effect immediately.
We would like to emphasize once again that Xiaomi is a listed company with independent management and decentralized equity and publicly traded stocks. The electronic products we produce are for ordinary consumers.
We believe that adding Xiaomi to the list of Chinese military-related companies is an arbitrary and arbitrary decision, and the judge also agreed with it. We will continue to request the court to finally rule that the decree is invalid for Xiaomi.

Linux kernel discovered 3 privilege escalation vulnerabilities, which have existed for 15 years
Generally, Linux-based distributions are more secure than Windows, but this does not mean that there are no loopholes. Recently, security researchers from the network security company GRIMM have discovered no less than 3 vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel. These vulnerabilities can be used to gain root access to the system. More importantly, these vulnerabilities have existed for as long as 15 years.
These vulnerabilities exist in code that cannot be accessed remotely, so they cannot be exploited remotely by hackers. But this does not mean that its destructive power is not strong. Security researcher Nichols warned that hackers can use these vulnerabilities to launch any existing cyber threats, and even make things worse. You can imagine how terrible it is to have untrusted users accessing with root privileges in your system.
