Google has released Chrome update 149.0.7827.102, addressing 74 vulnerabilities, 17 of which are marked as critical. Considering the issues fixed last week, a total of 39 critical vulnerabilities have been resolved in Chrome this month, more than at any time in the last 10 years of the project. Critical issues enable bypassing all levels of browser protection and executing code on the system beyond […]
Flatpak 1.18.0 has been released — a new stable version of the system for building, distributing, and running isolated Linux applications. Flatpak allows developers to release a single application for different distributions, package their own dependencies, and run programs in a predictable environment. An overview of the project is available on flatpak.org, and a list of changes has been published in the official release of Flatpak 1.18.0 on GitHub. A brief summary of the release is also provided […]
The release of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.68 has been introduced, which addresses 13 vulnerabilities along with several changes. The vulnerabilities resolved (the first 6 have a moderate severity level, while the rest are low): CVE-2026-34355 — buffer overflow in mod_proxy_html occurring when accessing a backend controlled by an attacker. CVE-2026-49975 — denial of service due to exhaustion of all available process memory. CVE-2026-44186 — infinite looping in the module […]
Developers of the Redox operating system, written in Rust with a microkernel concept, have published a project development report for May. Highlights include the successful porting of the Xfce desktop environment. Xfce's performance in Redox has been recognized as more stable than that of the previously created port with the MATE desktop, which still has unresolved issues with the Caja file manager. For Redox […]
After a year and a half of development, a new stable branch of the Flatpak toolkit 1.18 has been released, providing a system for building self-sufficient packages that are not tied to specific Linux distributions and run in a special container, isolating the application from the rest of the system. Support for running Flatpak packages is provided for Fedora, CentOS, Debian, Arch Linux, Gentoo, Linux Mint, Alt Linux, and Ubuntu. Flatpak packages are included in […]
Armbian Imager 2.0 has been released — a major update to the official Armbian utility for writing images to SD cards, USB drives, and other media for single-board computers. The new version features a redesigned interface and writing engine, with the main change being the ability to prepare a primary setup profile in advance: after flashing, the board can boot with user-defined settings, network, locale, and SSH access. Release v2.0.0 […]
A new experimental Vulkan driver, Ape, has been introduced — an open-source implementation of Vulkan ICD, written almost entirely in Zig and not using Mesa code. The project is not yet intended for industrial use: the author clearly describes it as a learning attempt to 'build the driver by hand' and warns against using Ape in serious projects. The code is published under the MIT license. Interest in Ape has emerged […]
