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. OpenAI says its experimental AI system found 948 distinct flaws in the Linux kernel that could let someone with limited access take full control of a computer. The findings concern software widely used by servers, cloud services, and blockchain networks.
