Buffer overflow in OpenSSL, exploited when checking X.509 certificates.

Posted on

A patch release of the OpenSSL cryptographic library 3.0.7 has been published, addressing two vulnerabilities. Both issues are caused by buffer overflows in the code that checks the email field in X.509 certificates and could potentially lead to code execution when processing specially crafted certificates. At the time of the release, OpenSSL developers have not reported any confirmed working exploits that could lead to execution […]

For the open operating system Haiku, which continues the development of BeOS ideas, a layer has been prepared to ensure compatibility with Wayland, allowing toolkits and applications that use this protocol to run.

Posted on

A vulnerability CVE-2022-40284 has been identified in the ntfs-3g utility from the NTFS-3G set, which offers a user-space implementation of the NTFS file system. This vulnerability could potentially allow code to be executed with root privileges in the system when mounting a specially crafted partition. The vulnerability has been patched in the NTFS-3G 2022.10.3 release. It was caused by an error in the metadata parsing code in NTFS partitions, leading to a buffer overflow when processed in a certain way […]

A compatibility layer for Wayland has been implemented for Haiku.

Posted on

An adaptation layer for compatibility with Wayland has been prepared for the open operating system Haiku, which continues to develop the ideas of BeOS, allowing toolkits and applications that use this protocol to run, including applications based on the GTK library. The layer was developed by Ilya Chugin, who is also working on the Haiku port for the RISC-V architecture and the adaptation of Wine for Haiku. The layer provides the library libwayland-client.so, based on […]
