Linus Torvalds intends to include Rust-related changes bypassing maintainers

Posted on

Christoph Hellwig, maintainer of the DMA, KVM, Slab Allocator subsystems, and PowerPC architecture in the Linux kernel, has fundamentally refused to accept Rust bindings for the DMA subsystem into the kernel and has joined the discussion on the rules for supporting Rust as part of the kernel, published by the Rust for Linux project.

OpenSSH 9.9p2 update with the removal of the possibility to perform a MITM attack

Posted on

A corrective release of OpenSSH 9.9p2 has been made available, which addresses two vulnerabilities identified by Qualys. An example of exploiting these vulnerabilities for a MITM attack was demonstrated, allowing traffic intended for an SSH server to be redirected to a malicious server, bypass the host key verification, and create the illusion for the client that they are connected to the desired server (the ssh client will accept the host key of the fake server instead of the key [...])
