A vulnerability (CVE-2019-11815) has been identified in the TCP-based RDS protocol handler (Reliable Datagram Socket, net/rds/tcp.c) that could lead to access to already freed memory space and denial of service (there is also a potential for exploitation to achieve code execution). The issue arises from a race condition that may occur during the execution of the rds_tcp_kill_sock function at the time of cleanup […]
New technological processes will first be implemented in the production of server products. The discrete graphics processor from 2021 will be unique in many ways: the use of EUV lithography, spatial layout with multiple chips, and Intel's first experience in releasing a serial product using a 7 nm technology. Intel remains hopeful of mastering the 5 nm technology. Following the successful implementation of 7 nm technology, the revenues for investors and the company itself should rise. In […]
For many years in the USA, it has been common practice to require candidates for various positions to provide not only a resume but also a cover letter. In recent years, the importance of this aspect has started to decline — as early as 2016, only about 30% of employers requested cover letters. This is easy to explain — HR specialists conducting initial screenings often have too much […]
ESET conducted an analysis of the LightNeuron malware, which is used by members of the infamous cybercriminal group Turla. The Turla hacker team gained notoriety back in 2008 after hacking the network of the Central Command of the U.S. Armed Forces. The goal of these cybercriminals is to steal confidential data of strategic importance. In recent years, hundreds of users in more than 45 […]

Not long ago, the team at LINBIT introduced their new SDS solution — Linstor. This is a completely open storage solution based on proven technologies: DRBD, LVM, ZFS. Linstor combines simplicity with a well-thought-out architecture, which allows for stability and quite impressive results. Today, I would like to talk about it in more detail and show how simple […]
Researchers from the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (INRIA) and Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) have developed an advanced attack method on the SHA-1 algorithm, significantly simplifying the creation of two different documents with the same SHA-1 hashes. The essence of the method is to reduce the operation of full collision search in SHA-1 to a collision attack with a given prefix, where a collision occurs with […]
The release of debugger GDB version 8.3 has taken place. New features include: Support for the RISC-V architecture as both the native and target architecture for Linux and FreeBSD systems. Also, support for CSKY and OpenRISC architectures as targets. The ability to access the PPR, DSCR, TAR, EBB/PMU, and HTM registers in Linux-based systems on PowerPC architecture. Output […]
First of all, when starting to work with a new dataset, it is important to understand it. For this, it is necessary to determine, for example, the range of values that the variables can take, their types, and to find out about the number of missing values. The pandas library provides us with many useful tools for conducting exploratory data analysis (EDA). However, before using them, it is usually […]
We received a request for cloud services. We estimated what would be required from us and sent back a list of questions for clarification. After analyzing the answers, we realized that the client wants to store personal data classified as level two protection in the cloud. We responded: "You have second-level personal data; sorry, we can only create a private cloud." A […]
Google has finally lifted the veil on the Fuchsia OS project—a mysterious operating system that has been around for about three years but has yet to be made publicly available. It first came to light in August 2016 without any official announcement. Initial data appeared on GitHub, and around that time, theories emerged that it could be a universal OS that would replace […]
