The developers of X.Org have released xorg-server 21.1.23 and XWayland 24.1.12, addressing a total of nine vulnerabilities in the X.Org X Server and XWayland. The fixes were published on June 2, 2026; source archives xorg-server-21.1.23 and xwayland-24.1.12 are already available in the official X.Org directory. The issues affect both the classic X.Org Server and XWayland, a component through which X11 applications operate within a Wayland session. Therefore, the update is important […]
The release of Open Image Denoise 2.5.0 has been announced — a free library by Intel for noise suppression in images generated by ray tracing. The project is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license and is part of the Intel Rendering Toolkit. Release v2.5.0 was published on GitHub on June 2, 2026. Open Image Denoise is designed to eliminate Monte Carlo noise typical of stochastic rendering methods, including […]
A corrective release (1.01) of the Book-Like CMS 'Froggy-BLC', which operates on files without a database, has occurred. In this release: Untangling the logic of ‘obscure’ code. Minor improvements. Closing potential vulnerabilities. NB: The author does not know how to write quality code, so the system is not very well implemented; please do not judge harshly. The system was initially planned to be called Temple-CMS due to a similar backstory: due to schizophrenia, the author is driven by […]
The accompanying open-source toolkit ScanCode Toolkit is designed to scan code for intersections with third-party copyrights, identify used licenses, and detect unpatched vulnerabilities. It has criticized a project that created an AI clone of the ScanCode product, rewritten from Python to Rust (the name of the clone is not mentioned, but it apparently pertains to the Provenant project). It is claimed that the rewritten project […]
Corrective releases of X.Org Server 21.1.23 and the DDX component (Device-Dependent X) xwayland 24.1.12 have been published, enabling the running of X.Org Server to execute X11 applications in Wayland-based environments. The new versions address 9 vulnerabilities. Some vulnerabilities could potentially be exploited for privilege escalation in systems where the X server runs with root privileges, as well as for remote code execution […]
An open project NBD-VRAM has been released, allowing part of the NVIDIA GPU video memory to be utilized as swap space in Linux. The project is primarily aimed at laptops with soldered RAM, where the RAM cannot be expanded, but there is a discrete NVIDIA RTX/GTX graphics card with unused VRAM in the system. The code is written in C and shell, and is distributed under the MIT license. The idea behind NBD-VRAM is simple: if […]
A new version of QBE – a universal backend for compiler development – has been released. QBE differentiates itself from its closest analog (LLVM) with a much simpler codebase, high execution and compilation speeds (QBE can be built from source in less than a second on a Core2Duo), and a more developer-friendly API, including a simpler intermediate language (IL). At the same time, QBE […]
As a result of the compromise of the release process based on GitHub Actions in repositories owned by Red Hat, attackers were able to publish 64 malicious versions across 32 NPM packages for the Red Hat Cloud Services platform in the NPM directory. Two malicious versions were released for each affected NPM package, which included code to activate a new variant […]
The developers of the Rust programming language are preparing to publish guidelines for the use of AI assistants in the project. The proposed rules have been refined through discussions totaling over 3000 messages, approved by 4 maintainers, and are awaiting publication. With a few exceptions, the guidelines prohibit the submission of AI-generated code to the main rust-lang/rust repository, but do not apply to submodules, branches, and dependencies from the crates.io directory, as well as […]
The release of the 86Box 6.0 project has been announced, which develops an emulator for x86 architecture systems, allowing users to run old operating systems and applications, including those which were used in the early 1980s on IBM PC 5150 and IBM PS/2 computers. Accurate low-level emulation of systems is supported, starting from 8086 processors up to Intel Celeron Mendocino. The project code is written in […]
The release of version 13.0.1 of the multi-format audio converter Flacon has taken place. Flacon extracts individual tracks from a single large audio file containing an entire music album and saves them as separate audio files. It uses information from the corresponding CUE file for this purpose. Additionally, Flacon allows convenient editing or setting of tags for all tracks at once or for each tag individually. Features: […]
