Vulnerabilities in the reference implementation of TPM 2.0 that allow access to data in the cryptochip

Posted on

Vulnerabilities (CVE-2023-1017, CVE-2023-1018) have been discovered in the reference code of the TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) specification, leading to writing or reading data outside the allocated buffer. An attack on implementations of cryptoprocessors using vulnerable code could lead to the extraction or overwriting of information stored on the chip, such as cryptographic keys. The ability to overwrite data in the TPM firmware may be […]

Release of package manager APT 2.6

Posted on

A release of the APT 2.6 (Advanced Package Tool) package management toolkit has been formed, incorporating changes accumulated in the experimental branch 2.5. Besides Debian and its derivatives, the APT-RPM fork is also used in some distributions based on the rpm package manager, such as PCLinuxOS and ALT Linux. The new release is integrated into the Unstable branch and will be moved soon […]

Release of the LibreELEC 11.0 distribution for creating home theater systems.

Posted on

The LibreELEC 11.0 project release has been presented, developing a fork of the OpenELEC distribution for creating home theater systems. The user interface is based on the Kodi media center. Images for booting have been prepared for use with USB drives or SD cards (32-bit and 64-bit x86, Raspberry Pi 2/3/4, various devices on Rockchip, Allwinner, NXP, and Amlogic chips). The build size for the x86_64 architecture is 226 MB. When […]

Release of Snoop 1.3.7, an OSINT tool for gathering user information from open sources.

Posted on

The release of Snoop version 1.3.3 has been published, enhancing the OSINT tool that searches for user accounts in public data (open-source intelligence). The program analyzes various websites, forums, and social networks for the presence of the desired username, i.e., it detects on which sites a user with the specified nickname is found. The project is developed based on research materials in the field of scraping [...]

A project to write a virtual machine in a Russian variant of the C language

Posted on

The source code of the initial implementation of a virtual machine developed from scratch has been published. The project is notable for having the code written in a Russian version of C (for instance, instead of int — it is цел, long — длин, for — это для, if — если, return — вернуть, etc.). The localization of the language is achieved through macro substitution and is implemented using the inclusion of two header files ru_stdio.h and keywords.h. The source […]

GNOME Shell and Mutter have completed the transition to GTK4

Posted on

The GNOME Shell user interface and the Mutter compositor have been fully transitioned to use the GTK4 library, eliminating the hard dependency on GTK3. Additionally, the dependency gnome-desktop-3.0 has been replaced with gnome-desktop-4 and gnome-bg-4, while libnma has been updated to libnma4. Overall, GNOME still remains tied to GTK3, as not all applications and libraries have been ported to GTK4. For example, on GTK3 […]

The Rosenpass VPN has been introduced, resilient against attacks using quantum computers.

Posted on

A group of German researchers, developers, and cryptographers has published the first release of the Rosenpass project, which develops a VPN and key exchange mechanism resistant to attacks from quantum computers. The transport used is VPN WireGuard with standard encryption algorithms and keys, while Rosenpass complements it with means of key exchange secured against hacking by quantum computers (i.e., Rosenpass additionally secures key exchange, not […]

An experimental release of the open implementation of WinAPI — Wine 8.3 has been announced. Since the release of version 8.2, 29 bug reports have been closed, and 230 changes have been made. The most significant changes include: support for smart cards implemented through a PCSC-Lite layer. Low Fragmentation Heap support has been added for memory allocation. The Zydis library has been included for more accurate […]

Release of PortableGL 0.97, implementing OpenGL 3 in C language

Posted on

The release of the PortableGL 0.97 project has been published, developing a software implementation of the OpenGL 3.x graphics API, written entirely in C (C99). Theoretically, PortableGL can be used in any applications that accept a texture or frame buffer as input data. The code is formatted as a single header file and is distributed under the MIT license. The stated goals include portability, compliance with the OpenGL API, ease of use, […]

Thorium Browser 110 is now available, a faster fork of Chromium

Posted on

The release of the Thorium 110 project has been published, developing a periodically synchronized fork of the Chromium browser, enhanced with additional patches for performance optimization, improved usability, and increased security. According to tests by Thorium's developers, it outperforms stock Chromium by 8-40% in performance, primarily due to the inclusion of extra optimizations during compilation. Ready builds are available for Linux, macOS, Raspberry Pi, and Windows. The main differences are […]

Vulnerability in strongSwan IPsec Allows for Remote Code Execution

Posted on

The release of strongSwan 5.9.10 is now available, a free package for creating VPN connections based on the IPSec protocol, used in Linux, Android, FreeBSD, and macOS. The new version fixes a critical vulnerability (CVE-2023-26463) that can be exploited to bypass authentication but could also potentially lead to the execution of attacker's code on the server or client side. The issue occurs when verifying specially crafted certificates […]
