New versions of Wine 11.21, Wine-staging 11.21, and D7VK 2.4. Implementation of 3Dfx Glide on top of Vulkan

Posted on

An experimental release of the open implementation of the Win32 API — Wine 11.21 has been published. Since the release of 11.20, 20 bug reports have been closed, and 260 changes have been made. The most significant changes include enhanced OpenGL performance when using the WoW64 layer (64-bit Windows-on-Windows), which allows 32-bit Windows applications to run in 64-bit Unix systems (WoW64 enables the execution of 32-bit code within a 64-bit process). Performance has been optimized through the implementation of […]

Tor Browser 16.0 Release

Posted on

The release of the specialized Tor Browser 16.0 has been announced, which has transitioned to the ESR branch of Firefox 153. The browser focuses on ensuring privacy and security, with all traffic routed exclusively through the Tor network. Direct access via the current system's standard network connection is impossible (in the event of browser hacking, attackers could gain access to the system's network parameters, so complete blocking of potential […]

AlpineBSD — a distribution with a NetBSD kernel and a system environment in the style of Alpine Linux

Posted on

The AlpineBSD project develops an operating system that runs a user environment based on the Alpine Linux distribution on top of the NetBSD kernel. In addition to the NetBSD kernel, AlpineBSD utilizes the standard C library libc and a set of low-level utilities like mount. The basic utility set is constructed using the BusyBox toolkit, and application packages are used from Alpine Linux whenever possible. For […

Attackers were able to inject malicious code into the official Claude Code extension for VS Code

Posted on

A compromise has been reported involving the official Claude Code extension for VS Code, supplied by Anthropic, which has 63 million downloads. The attacker was able to upload the release anthropic.claude-code@2.1.313 containing malicious code for remote access to the user's system in the Open-VSX directory. The publication of the malicious version in the Microsoft repository has not been confirmed, but a warning report has also been generated for it. Currently, […]

Remotely exploitable vulnerability in the TCP stack of the Linux kernel

Posted on

Anthropic has disclosed a critical vulnerability (CVE-2026-98432) in the Linux kernel's TCP stack that allows for remote code execution through specially crafted packets. A working exploit has been reported that can execute code at the kernel level and remotely gain root privileges on the system. The prepared exploit is suitable for attacking systems with server processes accepting connections through network sockets that support […]

Release of the Hyprland 0.57 Composite Server

Posted on

The Hyprland 0.57 composite server is now available, utilizing the Wayland protocol. The project focuses on a tiling window layout but also supports traditional freeform window placement, grouping windows in tab form, pseudo-tiling mode, and full-screen window expansion. The code is written in C++ and is distributed under the BSD license. It offers capabilities for creating visually appealing interfaces: gradients in window frames, blurring […]

Development of Ubuntu Core Desktop, which uses only snap packages, has resumed

Posted on

Jon Seager, Vice President of Engineering at Canonical and Technical Lead for the Ubuntu project, announced the revival of the Ubuntu Core Desktop project, which develops an alternative desktop edition of Ubuntu that leverages elements from the Ubuntu Core platform and uses Snap packages instead of deb packages. Unlike existing atomically updatable distributions, the system components in which are mounted […]

Qwenputer — an edition of the AI model Qwen3.5, capable of simulating a RISC-V CPU to execute code in C and MicroPython.

Posted on

As part of the Qwenputer project, researchers have prepared an enhanced version of the Qwen3.5-4B AI model, which features a built-in simulator of a complete 32-bit CPU based on the RISC-V architecture (RV32IM), supporting the Zba extension and equipped with a bignum coprocessor for arithmetic operations with large numbers. The CPU core implementation has been compiled into a weight set and integrated into a larger language model as 11 additional transformer layers, […]

Release of GhostBSD 26.2

Posted on

The release of the desktop-oriented distribution GhostBSD 26.2 has been presented, built on FreeBSD 15 and offering builds with user environments Gershwin, MATE, and Xfce. By default, GhostBSD uses the ZFS file system. It supports both Live mode operation and installation on a hard drive (using its own installer ginstall, written in Python). Boot images are created for the x86_64 architecture. In […]

Remote vulnerability in server UEFI firmware, exploited through sending an ICMP packet

Posted on

A critical vulnerability (CVE-2026-97631) has been addressed in TianoCore EDK II (EFI Development Kit II), the open reference implementation of UEFI used in most server motherboards. The vulnerability exists in the PXE driver and can be exploited by sending specially crafted ICMP packets during network boot in IPv4 or IPv6 networks. The attack does not require authentication and allows an attacker to execute their code […]

The founder of CentOS and Rocky Linux has introduced Ginux, a Linux-compatible kernel written in Rust.

Posted on

Gregory Kurtzer, the founder of the CentOS and Rocky Linux distributions, introduced the Ginux project, which develops the operating system's kernel in Rust, aiming for compatibility with the Linux kernel. The published research prototype is already capable of booting the system environment of the Alpine and Rocky Linux 10 distributions with systemd in multi-user console mode. The project's code is distributed under the Apache license […]

10 vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel and 4 in FreeBSD that allow obtaining root privileges in the system

Posted on

A series of vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux and FreeBSD kernels. The vulnerabilities in Linux allow for remote code execution, privilege escalation in the system, container escape, or bypassing virtual machine isolation. The vulnerabilities in FreeBSD permit the remote shutdown of the kernel, privilege escalation, and bypassing the Bhyve hypervisor's isolation. Vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel: 5 vulnerabilities revealed by the project […]
