The committee overseeing the development of the GCC compiler set (GCC Steering Committee) has approved the inclusion of the WebAssembly backend into the GCC codebase. The decision pertains to the general approval of delivering the WebAssembly backend as part of GCC. The approval of the implementation and the acceptance of the submitted code will be addressed separately by the team responsible for review. The backend will enable the use of GCC to compile source code in C/C++ into intermediate code […]
Daniel Stenberg, the author of the utility for transferring data over the network curl, announced the suspension of the acceptance and processing of vulnerability reports from July 1 to August 3. An exception will be made only for senders using paid support. The reason cited is the need for a break and rest after a significant increase in the workload of processing reports of vulnerabilities […]
The Latin American Free Software Foundation has released a completely free version of the Linux 7.1 kernel — Linux-libre 7.1-gnu, stripped of firmware elements and drivers containing proprietary components or code sections that are restricted by the manufacturer. In Linux-libre, kernel features for loading external proprietary components not included in the kernel distribution are also disabled, and mentions of the use of proprietary components have been removed from the documentation […]
The Arch Linux project has suspended the registration of new accounts in the AUR (Arch User Repository) due to ongoing activity related to the insertion of malicious code in packages and vandalism involving insults in the Russian language. After the first mass attack, the Arch Linux developers attempted to protect themselves from the issue through selective filters, but the attackers bypassed them by replacing npm with bun and obfuscation […]

Despite the measures taken by Arch Linux developers, the activity of injecting malicious code into the AUR (Arch User Repository) has not stopped. Just hours ago, malicious code was injected into another 54 packages that were left without maintainers (history of the retraction of malicious edits). Unlike the attacks from the day before yesterday, this time, instead of the npm package manager, the platform […] was used to install malicious dependencies.
Fedora Linux developers have clarified the situation regarding the expiration of Microsoft's certificate at the end of June, which is used to sign the Shim layer for verified boot of Linux distributions in UEFI Secure Boot mode. Transitioning to a new certificate should be seamless for users, as the effective expiration of the certificate will only prevent its future use […]
