The GNOME developers have approved a new decision-making process based on the publication of proposals in the form of an RFC (Request for Comments) and their subsequent collective approval. The RFC model introduces a strict regulation aimed at increasing transparency, structuring the process, and transitioning to collective responsibility for decisions rather than individual accountability. The RFC-based model will be used to resolve deadlock situations where consensus cannot be reached […]
A new possibility has been identified for creating any computable functions using constructs in the configuration files of the Curl utility. This feature is present only in Curl versions 8.12-8.16 and is due to an unintentional implementation of Turing completeness, allowing the creation of Turing machines through the ability to extract byte ranges from variable values and unlimited nesting depth when including external configuration files. For example […]
The developers of the Alpine Linux distribution have disclosed information about attempts to hack the collaborative development platform gitlab.alpinelinux.org, which was used for work on the APK package manager, build tools, infrastructure components, and package build scripts (aports). The attack was carried out by exploiting a vulnerability in the GitLab platform caused by an integer overflow in the Ruby regular expression engine. No evidence or signs of a successful breach have been found […]
Details have emerged and an exploit has been published for the vulnerability (CVE-2026-58882) in the Android platform, allowing for a looping reboot by sending a specially crafted SMS message. To eliminate the looping reboot, a factory reset or manual intervention using the ADB utility is required. The vulnerability has been dubbed "SMS of Death" and was patched in the October Android update. The attack can be carried out on any […]
Hacktron has revealed details of a demonstration attack on the GNU Savannah free code hosting platform, which continues to be used for the development of certain GNU tools, including Bash and Coreutils. As a result of the experiment, it was possible to execute code on the GNU Savannah server, gain root privileges, replace the SSH keys of the accompanying Bash, identify the possibility of making changes to the main git repository of the Bash project, and obtain […]
After nearly two years of development, the Enlightenment 0.28 user environment has been released, based on the EFL (Enlightenment Foundation Library) and Elementary widget libraries. The code is written in C and is distributed under the BSD license. The desktop in Enlightenment consists of components such as a file manager, a set of widgets, an application launcher panel, and graphical configurators. The graphical configurators provide […]
