{I'm writing this using translation as usual}

I'm not a software security expert;
I'm a meticulous computer user who only focuses on details.

Out of curiosity, I asked the AI ​​to create a script that would detect known vulnerabilities in my system.

Artificial intelligence;
He noted that he could more easily find overlooked security patches if I provided a full breakdown with 32 and 64 bit version information.
When I ran the prepared script and sent all the version information to the artificial intelligence for analysis, I was shocked by the report I saw.

I hope this is an AI hallucination

Hi xor, do you have any specific cases you can discuss?

I suggest you sanitize the information before discussing it.

As far as I know, in the kernel config at:
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86/release/src/kernel/config-6.12.11-tinycore

These security-related features are not enabled, which may cause security concerns:

Code: [Select]

CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE
CONFIG_SECURITY

However, some features are disabled. I guess this might be a compromise made for extreme size reduction.

PS: TinyCore’s architecture — consisting of a base system, read-only TCZ extensions, a modular ‘build-block’ style, and running entirely in RAM — effectively avoids most persistent threats, file tampering, malware residue, and permanent compromise.

However, it cannot mitigate runtime memory exploits, kernel vulnerabilities, network service flaws, TCZ supply chain attacks, or configuration issues.

Because the system and data reside in RAM, a successful exploit can compromise the session immediately without needing persistence.

It provides strong resilience against long-term infection, but not absolute security.

Possible negative scenario on a global scale.

The problem is systems that can't be updated even though there's an update available!!!

Fine,  I misunderstood.

Someone wrote a script,
but who commissioned this script?!
