Corrective releases for X.Org Server 21.1.12 and the DDX component (Device-Dependent X) xwayland 23.2.5 have been published, enabling the X.Org Server to run X11 applications in Wayland-based environments. The new version of X.Org Server fixes four vulnerabilities. One vulnerability could be exploited to gain elevated privileges in systems where the X server runs with root rights, as well as for remote execution […]
A new version of the free Rosa Fresh 12.5 distribution has been released. Change log: Linux kernel 6.6, supporting 5.10, 5.15, and 6.1 MESA 23.3 Nvidia-550 drivers in the repository. Branches 340, 390, and 470 are still available. A new update indicator now allows restricting access to update installations in modes: request for administrator password, request for password only for users, and no password required. Fixed […]
Details have emerged about the 'Continuation flood' attack method, which affects various implementations of the HTTP/2 protocol, including Apache httpd, Apache Traffic Server, Node.js, oghttp, Go net/http2, Envoy, oghttp, and nghttp2. This vulnerability can be exploited to carry out attacks on servers supporting HTTP/2.0, leading to memory exhaustion (cessation of request processing or crash of processes) depending on the implementation or […]
Google has introduced a new open-source library called jpegli, which features an image encoder and decoder for the JPEG format. The library includes additional optimizations for improved encoding efficiency, allowing for a 35% increase in the compression of high-quality images compared to traditional JPEG codecs. Compared to libjpeg-turbo, jpegli achieves a similar level of quality while reducing the bitrate by 32%. On […]
The Linux Containers community has released the 6.0 toolkit for organizing the operation of isolated LXC containers, providing a runtime suitable for running containers with a full system environment, similar to virtual machines, as well as for executing unprivileged containers for individual applications (OCI). LXC is classified as a low-level toolkit that operates at the container level. For centralized management of containers deployed in a cluster of […]
After a year of development, the mobile web browser CENO 2.1.0 has been released, designed to facilitate access to information in situations where direct access is impossible, for instance, when segments of the internet are disconnected from the global network due to failures or malicious actions. The browser is based on the GeckoView engine (used in Firefox for Android) and is enhanced with the capability to exchange data through a decentralized P2P network, in […]
Drew DeVault, the creator of the Sway user environment, the Hare programming language, the Aerc email client, and the collaborative development platform SourceHut, has announced the release of project Redict 7.3.0, a fork of the Redis database management system. Redict forked from Redis 7.2.4, the last version distributed under the BSD license. Changes developed by the Redict project are licensed under LGPLv3.0, but the borrowed code from Redis remains under the license […]
Administrators of the Python Package Index (PyPI) repository have published information about the detection of unauthorized access to 174 user accounts. According to representatives of PyPI, the authentication details of the affected users were likely obtained from collections of previously compromised credentials created as a result of breaches or leaks from other services. Access to PyPI accounts was possible due to the use of […]
Developers of the system manager systemd are discussing the issue of reducing dependencies in the libsystemd library, which is linked not only with systemd components but also with many external applications. For example, in Fedora, over 150 packages use libsystemd as a dependency. The initiator of the discussion believes that including additional third-party libraries in libsystemd, which are not controlled by the systemd developers, significantly increases the attack surface […]
Developers of the Mojo programming language have started to transition project developments to open-source status. The source code of the standard library has been released first, now available under the Apache 2.0 license with exceptions from the LLVM project, allowing mixing with code under the GPLv2 license. In addition to publishing the code, the development process has shifted towards openness and the ability to contribute external changes through pull requests on GitHub. […]
Hello, LOR! A few days ago, the code of the libmui library was published, which allows creating user interfaces reminiscent of the MacOS Classic operating system. The library's API is also inspired by this OS. The library is written in C and has a minimal set of dependencies. It only supports operation in X11 environments; the author does not plan to support Wayland. The code is released under the MIT license. Source: linux.org.ru
On April 2, 2024, the latest version of the open-source real-time operating system Embox was released. Among the changes: The file subsystem has been significantly redesigned. Support for the domestic RISC-V microcontroller k1921vg015 has been added. A utility for hot-flashing STM32 microcontrollers has been introduced. APIs for character and block devices have been improved. Support for some platforms, including RasPi & STM32, has been enhanced. A new 'nocode' annotation in Mybuild has been added. […]
