Just look at the currently ongoing insanity that is the log4j exploit, and how one single exploit has lead to a generic attack that can impact tons of companies. Imagine if a state decided to use voting machines, and someone found this style of exploit in the system.

Last week (Dec 9th) a major vulnerability was discovered in an open source logging project for Java called log4j. The vulnerability called Log4Shell would allow anyone to remotely run arbitrary code if they sent a message in the right format to the server. This is one of the worst attacks your system can be susceptible to and if you are interested in the technical details of the problem, here is an overview. The attack surface of Log4Shell is staggering, Amazon, Apple, Google, and the Apache Server are affected; it can almost not get bigger than this. We will see the real fallout of Log4Shell in the next weeks and months as right now servers worldwide are being scanned and prodded for this vulnerability.

Companies should verify they are not running any exposed Log4j Java code.  Here is a list of impacted 3rd party software for your reference.  If you find a server at risk, there are three potential ways to fix it as follows.

Looking for vendors/software on known lists like https://github.com/YfryTchsGD/Log4jAttackSurface

Blender ist nicht betroffen, #42

It does and was also affected by log4j.

Thanks, sure it isn't complete but it does contain some scary and surprising (at least when first reading, of course the really aren't) things like: https://github.com/YfryTchsGD/Log4jAttackSurface/blob/master/pages/UniFi.md

Apparently there's proof Steam along with many others are vulnerable.

Use https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk

It will be easier to understand if you show me an example of terminal commands under GNU/Linux. I tried to follow his instructions but I don't know one method is good

If you know the directory structure and where the versions of Proton live that Heroic uses, you can also go to the dxvk github page and select the 1.10.3 tar ball, download it and extract it, then manually move the appropriate files to their desired location in the Proton file structure. As with all things like this, .old is your friend if you stuff something up. And yes this does work, I compile my own vkd3d versions and use this approach as a lazy way to test them in Steam.

You can try dkvx Github dkvx , which is a mod that supposedly translates the DX11 stuff to Vulkan but I am not an IT guy so no clue how that works but as I said somewhere else on this thread it helped some people.

Worry not, if you want to play Windows games on Linux, you will use Wine, and Wine has codepaths for very old DirectX versions, it translates it to OpenGL. Alternatively if you really insist there is D8VK although it shouldn't be necessary. For DirectX games that use DirectX 9, 10, or 11 you are covered with DXVK which translates those APIs into Vulkan. And for DirectX 12 games you're back to Wine with WineD3D which will do translation to Vulkan. Technically WineD3D supports every DirectX version, but DirectX 9, 10, and 11 codepaths are half finished, buggy, and less performant, that's why DXVK exists.

You can give DXVK a try.

If you are going to download DXVK, you can download from GitHub.

No, it does not. Check the readme - https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk DX12 goes through this - https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton
