RISC-V emulator in the form of a pixel shader, enabling Linux to run in VRChat

Posted on

The results of the experiment on launching Linux within a virtual 3D space of the multiplayer online game VRChat, which allows the upload of 3D models with custom shaders, have been published. To implement the intended idea, a RISC-V architecture emulator was created, run on the GPU side as a pixel (fragment) shader (VRChat does not support compute shaders and UAVs). The emulator code is published under the MIT license. The emulator is based on […]

OpenSSL 1.1.1l update fixing two vulnerabilities

Posted on

An updated release of the OpenSSL cryptographic library 1.1.1l is now available, addressing two vulnerabilities: CVE-2021-3711 — a buffer overflow in the code implementing the SM2 cryptographic algorithm (widely used in China), which allows up to 62 bytes to be overwritten in an out-of-bounds buffer due to a miscalculation of the buffer size. An attacker could potentially achieve arbitrary code execution or crash the application by sending specially crafted […]

Release of emulator QEMU 6.1

Posted on

The release of QEMU 6.1 has been announced. As an emulator, QEMU allows running programs compiled for one hardware platform on a system with a completely different architecture, for example, executing an application for ARM on an x86-compatible PC. In virtualization mode, QEMU's code execution performance in an isolated environment approaches that of a physical system thanks to the direct execution of instructions on the CPU and leveraging […]
