A mechanism for verifying the correct operation of the kernel has been proposed for Linux.

Posted on

A set of patches implementing the RV (Runtime Verification) mechanism is proposed for inclusion in Linux kernel 5.20 (possibly the branch will be numbered 6.0). This mechanism provides tools for verifying the correctness of operation in highly reliable systems, ensuring the absence of failures. Verification is performed at runtime by attaching handlers to trace points that compare the actual execution path with a previously defined reference deterministic model of the automaton, […]

A vulnerability (CVE-2022-29582) has been identified in the implementation of the asynchronous input/output interface io_uring, which has been included in the Linux kernel since version 5.1. This allows an unprivileged user to gain root privileges.

The release of Minetest 5.6.0 has been presented, an open cross-platform version of the game MineCraft, allowing groups of players to collaboratively build various structures from blocks, creating a resemblance to a virtual world (sandbox genre). The game is written in C++ using the irrlicht 3D engine. Lua is used for creating extensions. The Minetest code is distributed under the LGPL license, and the game resources are under the CC BY-SA 3.0 license. Ready […]

Vulnerability in the io_uring subsystem of the Linux kernel allows obtaining root privileges from a container

Posted on

A vulnerability (CVE-2022-29582) has been identified in the implementation of the asynchronous I/O interface io_uring, which has been included in the Linux kernel since version 5.1. This vulnerability allows an unprivileged user to gain root privileges on the system, even when running the exploit from a container. The vulnerability is caused by accessing a previously freed memory block and manifests in Linux kernels starting from the 5.10 branch. It was addressed in April updates […]

Minetest 5.6.0 release, an open clone of the game Minecraft

Posted on

Fifteen months after the release of the last update, NetBSD 9.3 has been released. Installation images of 470 MB have been prepared for download, available in builds for 57 system architectures and 16 different CPU families. Version 9.3 is fully compatible with previous releases in the 9.x branch and contains important fixes, including those related to vulnerability mitigation. Initially, it was planned […]

The ninth version of patches for the Linux kernel with Rust language support

Posted on

Version nine of the patches for developing device drivers in the Rust language has been proposed for the Linux kernel. The new version is a trimmed-down variant of the eighth release, published a few days ago. The set is significantly reduced in size, retaining only the essential minimum necessary to compile a kernel module written in Rust. It is expected that the minimal patch will simplify the adoption of support […]

Vulnerability in the muhttpd HTTP server, allowing access to files outside of the working directory

Posted on

A vulnerability (CVE-2022-31793) has been discovered in the muhttpd HTTP server, which is primarily used in routers and access points. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload arbitrary files by sending a specially crafted HTTP request, depending on the access rights under which the HTTP server is running (in many devices, muhttpd runs with root privileges). For instance, an attacker could gain access to files containing passwords, wireless settings, connection parameters […]

Release of the Pale Moon browser 31.2.

Posted on

The release of the Pale Moon 31.2 web browser has been published, forked from the Firefox codebase to provide higher efficiency, retain a classic interface, minimize memory consumption, and offer additional customization options. Pale Moon builds are available for Windows and Linux (x86 and x86_64). The project code is distributed under the MPLv2 (Mozilla Public License). The project adheres to a classic interface organization, without […]

Chrome OS 104 is available

Posted on

The release of Chrome OS 104, based on the Linux kernel, system manager upstart, ebuild/portage build tools, open components, and web browser Chrome 104, is available. The user environment of Chrome OS is limited to the web browser, and instead of standard programs, web applications are used; nonetheless, Chrome OS includes a full multi-window interface, desktop, and taskbar. The source code is distributed under […]

Release of Chrome 104

Posted on

Google has released the Chrome 104 web browser. At the same time, a stable release of the open-source project Chromium, which serves as the basis for Chrome, is available. The Chrome browser differs from Chromium in its use of Google logos, a crash reporting system, modules for playing protected video content (DRM), an automatic update installation system, constant Sandbox isolation, delivery of keys to Google API, and passing during […]

Release of Slax 15 distribution, returning to Slackware package base

Posted on

The release of the compact Live distribution Slax 15 has been announced, notable for its return to using the developments from the Slackware project. The last release of Slax based on Slackware was formed 9 years ago. In 2018, the distribution was switched to the Debian package base, APT package manager, and systemd initialization system. The graphical environment is built on the FluxBox window manager and the xLunch program launcher interface, […]

Posted on

The release of the free cross-platform interpreter for classic quests, ScummVM 2.6.0, has been announced. It replaces executable files for games and allows many classic games to run on platforms for which they were not originally intended. The project's code is distributed under the GPLv3+ license. It supports the ability to run over 260 quests and more than 1600 interactive text games, including games from LucasArts, Humongous Entertainment, Revolution Software, […]
