The PMFault attack, which can disable CPUs on certain server systems

Posted on

Researchers from the University of Birmingham, previously known for developing the Plundervolt and VoltPillager attacks, have identified a vulnerability (CVE-2022-43309) in certain server motherboards that allows physical disabling of the CPU without the possibility of subsequent recovery. The vulnerability, codenamed PMFault, can be exploited to damage servers to which the attacker does not have physical access but does have privileged access to the operating […]

Preliminary release of the PXP project, which develops an extended dialect of the PHP language

Posted on

The first test release of the implementation of the PXP programming language, which extends PHP with support for new syntax constructs and enhanced capabilities of the runtime library, has been published. Code written in PXP is translated into standard PHP scripts executed using the standard PHP interpreter. Since PXP only complements PHP, it is compatible with all existing PHP code. Notably, PXP expands PHP's type system for better representation […]

The Sourceware hosting of free projects has come under the umbrella of the SFC organization

Posted on

The Sourceware free projects hosting has joined the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC), which provides legal protection for free projects, advocates for compliance with the GPL license, and collects sponsorship funds. SFC allows participants to focus on the development process by taking on donation collection tasks. SFC also becomes the owner of project assets, relieving developers of personal liability in the case of legal disputes. […]
