Vulnerabilities in LibreOffice that allow the execution of Gstreamer scripts or plugins

Posted on

Information has been revealed about two vulnerabilities in the free office suite LibreOffice, which have been assigned a high danger level (8.3 out of 10). The issues have been addressed in the recent updates of LibreOffice 7.6.4 and 7.5.9. The first vulnerability (CVE-2023-6186) allows for the execution of arbitrary scripts when a user clicks on a specially added link in the document that triggers built-in macros or internal commands. In certain situations, it was possible to […]

Proposal to shift responsibility for errors in open-source code

Posted on

James Bottomley from IBM Research, who oversees SCSI and PA-RISC subsystems in the Linux kernel and previously led the technical committee of the Linux Foundation, has proposed a solution to the issue of potentially holding open-source developers accountable for bugs in their code or inadequate vulnerability remediation. The idea is to shift the legal responsibility for mistakes in the source […]

Linux 6.6.6

Posted on

Greg Kroah-Hartman, apparently not suffering from hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, has announced the release of the Linux kernel with the mystical number 6.6.6. The only change is the rollback of a fix related to the cfg80211 driver subsystem (the API configuration for wireless connections under the 802.11 standard), which resulted in a series of regressions due to one lost commit.

Linux Kernel 6.6.6 Update

Posted on

Greg Kroah-Hartman, who is responsible for maintaining the stable branch of the Linux kernel, has published a significant release of kernel 6.6.6, which proposes one change affecting the cfg80211 wireless stack. The change rolls back the fix that was added in release 6.6.5, which led to regressions because another fix from the 6.7 branch was not transferred along with the fix in 6.6.5 […]

Vulnerabilities in Buildroot allowing code execution on the build server via a MITM attack

Posted on

In the Buildroot build system, aimed at creating bootable Linux environments for embedded systems, six vulnerabilities have been identified that allow for alterations in the generated system images or execution of code at the build system level during transit traffic interception (MITM). The vulnerabilities have been addressed in the Buildroot releases 2023.02.8, 2023.08.4, and 2023.11.

The OpenBao project has started the development of a fork of Hashicorp Vault

Posted on

Under the auspices of the Linux Foundation, the OpenBao project has been established, which will continue the development of the Hashicorp Vault codebase under the free MPLv2 (Mozilla Public License). This fork was created in response to HashiCorp's transition of its products to a proprietary BSL 1.1 license, which restricts code usage in cloud systems competing with HashiCorp's products and services. The creators of OpenBao aim to continue […]
