Mozilla has warned of the compromise of private keys associated with eight intermediate (secondary) root certificates from the eMudhra certification authority. The compromised keys allowed the issuance of fake TLS certificates for any website, which were perceived as trustworthy by all browsers, and could be used to intercept or modify transit traffic. The private keys were recreated by researchers from publicly available data, which led to […]
Patches implementing the BeamFS file system, which uses Reed-Solomon encoding to detect and recover corrupted data in single-device configurations, have been published for discussion in the Linux kernel developers' mailing list. BeamFS is primarily intended for use in onboard computers of satellites, radiation therapy equipment, and other systems operating in high-radiation environments, for […]
The release of the free UNIX-like operating system OpenBSD 8.0 has been announced. The OpenBSD project was founded by Theo de Raadt in 1995 after a conflict with the developers of NetBSD, which resulted in Theo being denied access to the NetBSD CVS repository. Following this, Theo de Raadt, along with a group of like-minded individuals, created a new open project based on the NetBSD source tree […]
After 11 months of development, CRIU 4.3 (Checkpoint and Restore In Userspace) has been released. This toolkit is designed to save and restore processes in user space. It allows the state of one or a group of processes to be saved and then resumed from that saved state, even after a system reboot or on another server, without breaking established network connections. The code […]
A port of the layer to run Windows applications via Wine, capable of operating in OpenBSD, has been introduced. The main issue with running Wine in OpenBSD is the prohibition in this OS on setting the gsbase register from user space, whereas this register is used for accessing the local thread memory during the execution of Windows applications. The proposed project addresses this limitation by emulating the segment prefix […]
