In a groundbreaking discovery, cybersecurity experts have revealed that joining the ‘forbidden password club’ has never been easier. Thanks to new vulnerabilities in core dump handlers in Ubuntu, RHEL, and Fedora, your password hashes now have the security integrity of a wet paper bag laced with secrets. All hail the randomness of CVE-2025-5054 and CVE-2025-4598, the digital race conditions that cause panic and maybe, just maybe, some uncomfortable giggles.

While Ubuntu and Fedora users casually continue their daily Twitter scroll, core dump handlers have taken on an unexpected role as the official treasure maps for hackers. Forget about going on a treasure hunt — just trigger a core dump and voilà, instant access to the most guarded secrets as you sip your latte.

But fret not, dear users, the race condition bugs don’t compromise everything. Sure, they can allow local attackers to access sensitive information, but remember: it’s local. Here’s to hoping your neighbor isn’t a cyber thief with a penchant for espionage and that the only race he cares about is the one on Mario Kart.
