The vulnerability is caused by the fact that the LibreLogo component, designed for teaching programming and inserting vector drawings, translates its operations into Python code. By being able to execute LibreLogo instructions, an attacker can cause any Python code to execute […]

The esports organization Immortals Gaming Club sold the Houston Outlaws Overwatch team for $40 million. The price included the club’s slot in the Overwatch League. The new owner was the owner of the construction company Lee Zieben.

The release of re2c, a free generator of lexical analyzers for the C and C++ languages, has taken place. Recall that re2c was written in 1993 by Peter Bambulis as an experimental generator of very fast lexical analyzers, differing from other generators in the speed of the generated code and an unusually flexible user interface that allows analyzers to be easily and efficiently integrated into an existing code base. Since then […]
