Release rb-leia23 · Raybuntu/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
Before installing please read the release notes. There were a lot of changes.
My device is a rock64. rb-leia23 panics for me at startup, saying "unable to handle kernel paging request".
I realise you warned about this in your release notes. The difference for me is that rb-leia22 booted fine.
Regardless, thanks for your builds.
How do I know if my system has already been compromised?
In general it's difficult to prove a system hasn't been compromised, given that malware can hide itself.
But don't worry. This wasn't a "zero day". So unless your system starts acting weirdly, you can probably assume you're safe.
Is there a workaround that I can use ? I am quite happy with the build I am on. Is disabling subtitles enough?
Mostly enough.
The Kodi flaw (which is different than the VLC flaw) is called a directory traversal.
Any evil zip file Kodi downloads could have a directory traversal. For example, a subtitles file or a video addon.
The subtitles thing is a problem because subtitles are just text. Evil subtitles shouldn't be able to compromise to system.
For video addons it's not as big a problem, because you already shouldn't be downloading evil video addons. Video addons contain code, so you always need to trust then.
