The Canvas Attack, Ivanti and Palo Alto Exploits, and Dirty Frag

About this episode

The episode discusses recent cybersecurity incidents including the Canvas breach and vulnerabilities in Ivanti and Palo Alto products, along with a new Linux bug called Dirty Frag.

If we needed any more evidence that the internet was a mistake, this week provided it. We kick things off with a discussion of the Canvas breach that has affected thousands of schools worldwide, then we dig into the disclosure of two new vulnerabilities in Ivanti and Palo Alto Networks products that are actively exploited, and then we talk about a new branded Linux bug called Dirty Frag. Finally, we wrap up with some comic relief from the Everything App. Links Ivanti bug: https://decipher.sc/2026/05/07/ivanti-warns-of-exploited-epmm-flaw-cve-2026-6973/ Palo Alto bug: https://decipher.sc/2026/05/06/845/ Dirty Frag: https://decipher.sc/2026/05/07/new-dirty-frag-linux-bug-emerges/ The viral tweet: https://x.com/DennisF/status/2050682024587845690
