Vulnerabilities in the reference implementation of TPM 2.0 that allow access to data in the cryptochip

Posted on

Vulnerabilities (CVE-2023-1017, CVE-2023-1018) have been discovered in the reference code of the TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) specification, leading to writing or reading data outside the allocated buffer. An attack on implementations of cryptoprocessors using vulnerable code could lead to the extraction or overwriting of information stored on the chip, such as cryptographic keys. The ability to overwrite data in the TPM firmware may be […]

A project to write a virtual machine in a Russian variant of the C language

Posted on

The source code of the initial implementation of a virtual machine developed from scratch has been published. The project is notable for having the code written in a Russian version of C (for instance, instead of int — it is цел, long — длин, for — это для, if — если, return — вернуть, etc.). The localization of the language is achieved through macro substitution and is implemented using the inclusion of two header files ru_stdio.h and keywords.h. The source […]

GNOME Shell and Mutter have completed the transition to GTK4

Posted on

The GNOME Shell user interface and the Mutter compositor have been fully transitioned to use the GTK4 library, eliminating the hard dependency on GTK3. Additionally, the dependency gnome-desktop-3.0 has been replaced with gnome-desktop-4 and gnome-bg-4, while libnma has been updated to libnma4. Overall, GNOME still remains tied to GTK3, as not all applications and libraries have been ported to GTK4. For example, on GTK3 […]

The Rosenpass VPN has been introduced, resilient against attacks using quantum computers.

Posted on

A group of German researchers, developers, and cryptographers has published the first release of the Rosenpass project, which develops a VPN and key exchange mechanism resistant to attacks from quantum computers. The transport used is VPN WireGuard with standard encryption algorithms and keys, while Rosenpass complements it with means of key exchange secured against hacking by quantum computers (i.e., Rosenpass additionally secures key exchange, not […]
