GitGuardian researchers published the results of an analysis of confidential data forgotten by developers in code hosted in the Python package repository PyPI (Python Package Index). After examining more than 9.5 million files and 5 million package releases related to 450 thousand projects, 56,866 instances of data leakage were identified. Considering only unique data without duplication across different releases, the number of detected leaks […]

A vulnerability (CVE-2023-41913) has been identified in strongSwan, a VPN package based on the IPSec protocol, used in Linux, Android, FreeBSD, and macOS, which can be exploited for remote code execution by an attacker. The vulnerability arises from an error in the charon-tkm process implementing the key exchange protocol (IKE) based on TKMv2 (Trusted Key Manager), leading to a buffer overflow when processing specially crafted DH (Diffie–Hellman) scheme values. […]
An intermediate release of the OpenZFS 2.2.1 project, which develops the ZFS file system implementation for Linux and FreeBSD, is now available. This release is notable for adding support for Linux kernel 6.6 and attempting to address a problem that leads to data corruption (resetting part of the blocks) in files after they are copied. It was initially thought that the issue only occurs in the 2.2.x branch and is caused by a bug in OpenZFS 2.2.0 […]
