Yesterday, while I was making the final touches on LTM Monthly Newsletter 25.01, exactly in its Cyberwatch section and almost ready to hit the send (and publish) button, I got the news of two very serious vulnerabilities hitting the sudo utility you use frequently—if not daily—on your terminal: CVE?2025?32462 and CVE?2025?32463. This should storm your brain with two questions: What do these two sudo flaws offer attackers? And what should you do to protect your Linux system? While I already highlighted the answers in the last LTM newsletter issue, I believe such an important event deserves a dedicated post. So without further ado, let’s dive in.

For those on very long server upgrade cycles, typically just running the hardware until failure or consider buying second-hand servers that are generations old for lower up-front cost, today's unique article is for you with quantifying a first-generation EPYC server compared to today's entry-level EPYC processors in performance and power efficiency. With the fascinating AMD EPYC 4005 "Grado" budget-friendly server processors I was curious how well they would stack up against AMD's original flagship EPYC processor, the AMD EPYC 7601 "Naples" processor from the Zen 1 era. Can an entry-level brand new Grado server processor with dual channel DDR5 memory outpace an original EPYC server with twice the core/thread counts and eight channel DDR4 server memory? Yes, with huge gains in performance and power efficiency.
