A backdoor (CVE-2019-15107) has been discovered in the Webmin package, which provides tools for remote server management. This backdoor was found in official project builds distributed through Sourceforge and recommended on the main website. The backdoor was present in builds from 1.882 to 1.921 inclusive (the code with the backdoor was absent in the git repository) and allowed remote execution of arbitrary shell commands on the system with root privileges without authentication. For […]
The FESCo committee (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee), responsible for the technical development of the Fedora distribution, has approved the discontinuation of the main repositories for the i686 architecture. It should be noted that the initial consideration of this proposal was postponed to study the possible negative impact of discontinuing the supply of packages for i686 on local module builds. This decision complements the already implemented decision in the rawhide branch to stop the creation of bootable […]
Today, many IT companies are facing the challenge of finding employees in their region. An increasing number of job offers in the labor market are related to the possibility of remote work.

The Open Wireless Link project, which examines Apple's proprietary wireless protocols, presented a report at the USENIX 2019 conference analyzing vulnerabilities in Apple's wireless protocols (including possibilities for conducting Man-in-the-Middle attacks to modify files transmitted between devices, Denial of Service attacks to block device interactions and cause device hangs, as well as using AirDrop for user identification and tracking). During the study […]
