Anthropic says Claude wrote an attack that can take control of a Linux server without the need for a password. Red Hat issued a software patch for the vulnerability on Sunday while Ubuntu still has not yet released a fix. The attack is described as a passwordless takeover of a server running the Linux operating system. Red Hat and Ubuntu are now at different stages in addressing the security issue.
