Updating Void Linux Installation Builds

Submitted by

New bootable assemblies of the Void Linux distribution have been generated, which is an independent project that does not use the developments of other distributions and is developed using a continuous cycle of updating program versions (rolling updates, without separate releases of the distribution). Previous builds were published a year ago. Apart from the appearance of current boot images based on a more recent slice of the system, updating assemblies does not bring functional changes and […]

Release of the free sound editor Ardour 7.0

An attack on NPM that allows you to determine the presence of packages in private repositories

Submitted by

A flaw has been identified in NPM that allows you to detect the existence of packages in closed repositories. The issue is caused by different response times when requesting an existing and non-existing package from a third party who does not have access to the repository. If there is no access for any packages in private repositories, the registry.npmjs.org server returns an error with the code “404”, but if a package with the requested name exists, an error is given [...]
