Remote root vulnerability in the IPv6 autoconfiguration handler in FreeBSD.

Posted on

A vulnerability (CVE-2025-14558) has been discovered in the rtsold background process and the rtsol utility used in FreeBSD, which allows remote code execution with root privileges by sending a specially crafted packet with an IPv6 router advertisement. RA messages (Router Advertisement), which exploit this vulnerability, are not routed and should be discarded by routers. To carry out the attack, the attacker must have the ability to send a specially crafted packet from a system, […]

Release of the 86Box 5.3 emulator.

Posted on

The release of the 86Box 5.3 project has been announced, which develops an emulator for systems based on the x86 architecture, allowing the execution of old operating systems and applications, including those used in the early 1980s on IBM PC 5150 and IBM PS/2 computers. It supports accurate low-level emulation of systems, from 8086 processors to Intel Celeron Mendocino. The project's code is written in […]

Release of OS Qubes 4.3.0, utilizing virtualization for application isolation

Posted on

After two years of development, the release of the Qubes 4.3.0 operating system has been announced. It implements the idea of using a hypervisor for strict isolation of applications and OS components (each class of applications and system services runs in separate virtual machines). A system with 16 GB of RAM (minimum — 6 GB) and a 64-bit Intel or AMD CPU with VT-x support is recommended for operation, […]

An update has been released for the Chimera Linux distribution, notable for its use of the Linux kernel combined with FreeBSD utilities, the dinit system manager, and the Musl standard C library. The build is compiled with Clang. Live boot images have been created for the x86_64, ppc64le, aarch64, riscv64, and ppc64 architectures in variants with GNOME (1.8 GB), KDE (2.5 GB), and a minimal environment (1 GB). The project is aimed at […]

Arch Linux is transitioning to the use of open kernel modules in NVIDIA driver packages.

Posted on

Developers of the Arch Linux distribution have announced the replacement of packages with proprietary NVIDIA drivers "nvidia", "nvidia-dkms", and "nvidia-lts" with the packages "nvidia-open", "nvidia-open-dkms", and "nvidia-lts-open", which utilize open-source kernel modules from NVIDIA. This decision is due to the fact that NVIDIA drivers version 590.x only support GPUs starting from the Turing microarchitecture (RTX 20xx and GTX 1650 series), making it pointless to maintain official […]

Major changes in […]

Release of Lanemu P2P VPN 0.13.1

Posted on

The release of Lanemu P2P VPN 0.13.1 has occurred — an implementation of a decentralized virtual private network operating on a Peer-To-Peer principle, whereby participants are connected to each other rather than through a central server. Network participants can locate each other through BitTorrent trackers or BitTorrent DHT, or via other network participants (peer exchange). The application is a free and open source alternative to Hamachi VPN, written […]
