Attacking UNIX Systems via CUPS — A remote unauthenticated attacker can silently replace existing printers’ (or install new ones) IPP urls with a malicious one, resulting in arbitrary command execution (on the computer) when a print job is started (from that computer).
Marcus Hutchins Scan finds 107,287 servers responding to the UDP port 631 — Instead of relying on Shodan data, I performed my own internet-wide scan using a distributed network of servers. This resulted in discovering drastically more exposed cups-browsed instances, causing my total count to rise from 13,289 to 107,287.

LINUX Unplugged 269 — What if desktop computing went a very different direction in the late 90s? Deeply multithreaded from the start, fast, intuitive, and extremely stable. This is the world of Haiku, and we go for a visit.
The Dawn of Haiku OS — Haiku, unlike its more established competitors, is exceedingly good at tackling one of the toughest challenges of modern computing: multicore microprocessors. Let's take a look at why that is, how Haiku came to be, and whether the operating system running on your computer really performs as well as it should.

One Of The Rust Linux Kernel Maintainers Steps Down - Cites "Nontechnical Nonsense" — One of the several Rust for Linux kernel maintainers has decided to step away from the project. The move is being driven at least in part due to having to deal with increased "nontechnical nonsense" raised around Rust programming language use within the Linux kernel.
[PATCH 0/1] Retiring from the Rust for Linux project - Wedson Almeida Filho
On Rust, Linux, developers, maintainers — There's been a couple of mentions of Rust4Linux in the past week or two, one from Linus on the speed of engagement and one about Wedson departing the project due to non-technical concerns. This got me thinking about project phases and developer types.

Microsoft’s latest security update has ruined dual-boot Windows and Linux PCs — The cause: an update Microsoft issued as part of its monthly patch release. It was intended to close a 2-year-old vulnerability in GRUB, an open source boot loader used to start up many Linux devices.

Linus Torvalds Begins Expressing Regrets Merging Bcachefs — The bcachefs patches have become these kinds of "lots of development during the release cycles rather than before it", to the point where I'm starting to regret merging bcachefs.
Re: [GIT PULL] bcachefs fixes for 6.11-rc5 - Linus Torvalds — No one is being jerks here, Linus and I are just sitting in different places with different perspectives. He has a resonsibility as someone managing a huge project to enforce rules as he sees best, while I have a responsibility to support users with working code, and to do that to the best of my abilities.

Loss of popular 2FA tool puts security-minded GrapheneOS in a paradox
GrapheneOS on X — Google can either permit GrapheneOS in the Play Integrity API in the near future
GrapheneOS on X — If Authy insists on using it, they should use the standard Android hardware attestation API to permit using GrapheneOS too. Banning 250k+ people with the most secure smartphones from using your app is anti-security, not pro-security.
GrapheneOS on X — Authy simply delegated checking device integrity to Google. It's Google choosing to block GrapheneOS users from using Authy. Google chooses to allow using a device with no security patches for the past 8 years but bans using an OS much more secure than the stock Pixel OS.
Twilio kills off Authy for desktop, forcibly logs out all users
GrapheneOS on X — Our latest release with prevention for most VPN app DNS leaks is currently available in our Alpha and Beta channels. We need more feedback from testing VPN apps and services with leak blocking toggled on, which GrapheneOS already enables by default.
GrapheneOS on X — Our current approach to DNS leak blocking appears to work well without breaking compatibility. We've made progress towards fixing a related issue for some VPN apps where rare connections are made to VPN DNS outside of the tunnel. We can hopefully ship stricter enforcement soon.
GrapheneOS on X — We've become aware of another company selling devices with GrapheneOS while spreading harmful misinformation about it to promote insecure products. We're making our usual attempt at resolving things privately. However, we need to quickly address what has been claimed regardless.
