Oxide Cloud Computer: reinventing the cloud

Posted on

Public clouds are very popular, but they do not always meet the goals and objectives of the company. At the same time, traditional server infrastructure is costly to maintain, cumbersome to configure, and not always secure — largely due to the fragmentation of software and hardware architectures rooted in the distant past. The company Oxide Computer has announced that it has developed […]

Release of the firewalld 2.1 firewall

A critical vulnerability (CVE-2023-7101) has been identified in the Perl module Spreadsheet::ParseExcel, which provides functions for parsing Excel files. The vulnerability allows for arbitrary code execution when processing XLS or XLSX files containing specially crafted number formatting rules. The issue arises from using data obtained from the processed file in the construction of an "eval" call. The problem has been fixed in Spreadsheet::ParseExcel 0.66 update. An exploit prototype exists. Vulnerable code: if […]

A vulnerability in the Qt implementation of the HTTP/2 protocol.

Posted on

A vulnerability (CVE-2023-51714) has been discovered in the Qt library's implementation of the HTTP/2 protocol, allowing data to be written beyond the allocated buffer.

The problem has been addressed in Qt updates 5.15.17, 6.2.11, 6.5.4, and 6.6.2. […]

Issues arising from vulnerability reports prepared by AI tools

Posted on

Daniel Stenberg, the author of the curl utility for transferring data over networks, criticized the use of AI tools in generating vulnerability reports. Such reports may include detailed information, be written in plain language, and appear to be high-quality; however, without thoughtful analysis, they can mislead by substituting real issues with superficially presentable garbage content. The Curl project […]
