A draft (Internet-Draft) of the IPv8 protocol has been presented on the IETF site, which is finally set to replace the outdated IPv4, which the IPv6 protocol has not fully succeeded in achieving. The main feature of IPv8 is its compatibility with IPv4, which is used in most devices. What does an address look like in the new standard: IPv4: 93.184.216.34 IPv8: 0.0.251.240.93.184.216.34 — essentially representing […]
A vulnerability (CVE-2026-41113) has been discovered in the Sagredo project's qmail mail server fork, which allows for remote execution of arbitrary commands on the server with qmailr user privileges. This vulnerability is caused by the lack of escaping special characters in the hostname returned by the DNS server when determining the MX gateway, combined with passing the obtained name to the popen command without proper argument separation and filtering when calling the shell. The vulnerability […]
The OpenBSD project developers have released the portable edition of the LibreSSL 4.3.0 package, which develops a fork of OpenSSL aimed at ensuring a higher level of security. The LibreSSL project focuses on providing quality support for SSL/TLS protocols by removing unnecessary functionality, adding additional protective measures, and conducting significant cleaning and reworking of the codebase. The release of LibreSSL 4.3.0 is considered experimental, in which […]
Objective Development has released Little Snitch for Linux — the Linux version of its well-known tool for monitoring outgoing network connections, previously mainly available to macOS users. The new version is positioned not as a stringent system protection tool, but as a privacy control tool: it shows which applications are connecting to which nodes over the network, allows blocking unwanted connections, and tracks […]
The release of the desktop-oriented GhostBSD 26.01 distribution has been presented, built on FreeBSD 15 and offering builds with the Gershwin, MATE, and Xfce user environments. By default, GhostBSD uses the ZFS file system. It supports both Live mode operation and installation on a hard drive (using its own installer ginstall, written in Python). Boot images have been created for the x86_64 architecture. In […]
Jason A. Donenfeld, the author of the WireGuard VPN, has released the first significant version of the WireGuard client software for Windows 1.0, as well as the WireGuardNT 1.0 drivers with the WireGuard VPN port for the Windows 10 and 11 kernels, supporting AMD64, x86, and ARM64 architectures. The code for the Windows kernel components is distributed under the GPLv2 license, while the client software is under the MIT license. The port […]
The release of the Linux distribution Solus 4.9 has been published, which is not based on packages from other distributions and is developing its own installer, package manager, and configurator. Previously, the Budgie desktop was developed as part of the distribution, but it has now been spun off into an independent project. The next branch, Solus 5, will be developed using the technologies from the AerynOS distribution. The project's code is distributed under the GPLv2 license, and development uses languages […]
The Podroid application allows users to run a lightweight virtual machine of Alpine Linux on Android devices utilizing QEMU, and it provides a fully functional environment for running Podman containers with an integrated terminal. The app uses Termux as its terminal emulator, Limbo Emulator — a QEMU-based emulator for Android, and Podman to run the container with Alpine Linux. From […]
Hackers have exploited the code of an unpatched Windows vulnerability that was leaked online to attack at least one organization. The code was recently released by a disgruntled security researcher known by the pseudonym Chaotic Eclipse, after Microsoft failed to respond to his report on the discovery of vulnerabilities. According to TechCrunch, specialists from Huntress have documented the use of three Windows vulnerabilities named BlueHammer, UnDefend, and […]
A new version of the Kefir compiler for the C programming language has been released. Kefir supports standards C17 / C23, including features such as: complex numbers _Complex; decimal numbers _Decimal; variable-length arrays on the stack (VLA); inline assembly; and generation of debug symbols in the DWARF5 format. Currently, the compiler generates code for a single hardware platform — System-V AMD64 ABI and implemented on […]
An experimental release of the open implementation of the Win32 API — Wine 11.7 has been published. Since the release of 11.6, 35 bug reports have been closed and 311 changes have been made. The most significant changes include: support for seven-channel surround sound (7.1) configurations added to the DirectSound API. Work has begun on a new implementation of the msxml (Microsoft XML Core Services) library that does not use libxml2. Some issues have been fixed […]
Linus Torvalds has accepted a set of patches with a new implementation of the NTFS file system, developed under the name ntfsplus, into the Linux 7.1 kernel, which is expected to be released in mid-June. The new driver is included under the name "ntfs," which was previously used for the legacy driver in the kernel that operated in read-only mode. The ntfsplus driver was developed by Namjae Jeon, a participant […]
