📰 Linux 7.3 To Overcome "Significant Bottleneck" For Small I/O With PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSDs While the Linux 7.2 feature merge window ended just days ago and the better part of two months now before v7.2 will be released as stable, there are already features beginning to accumulate that will target the Linux 7.3 cycle. The most exciting change I've seen to kick off that dance ahead of Linux 7.3 is addressing a "significant" bottleneck affecting small direct I/O performance with speedy storage such as PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSDs... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.3-Faster-Small-Direct #linux 👉@sysadminoff https://lxer.com/module/newswire/ext_link.php?rid=365972

Trojanized GitHub exploits deliver ChocoPoC malware via malicious Python dependencies Threat actors are targeting security researchers and penetration testers by distributing weaponized proof-of-concept exploits on GitHub. Unlike traditional attacks that embed malware directly into exploit files, this campaign utilizes malicious Python packages hosted on the Python Package Index. When a user clones a repository and installs the listed dependencies, a chain of trojanized packages eventually downloads the ChocoPoC remote access trojan.

В Fedora 45 намерены включить защиту на основе теневого стека В выпуске Fedora Linux 45, намеченном на осень 2026 года, на системах x86_64 планируют по умолчанию включить использование теневого стека (shadow stack) для блокирования работы эксплоитов, перезаписывающих адрес возврата функций в случае переполнения буфера в стеке. Защиту намерены активировать для всех приложений и библиотек, собранных при помощи компиляторов gcc (C, C++), clang (C, C++) и rustc (Rust). План пока не утверждён комитетом FESCo (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee), отвечающим за техническую часть разработки Fedora Linux. Инициатором включения теневого стека в Fedora является Арджун Шанкар (Arjun Shankar) из компании Red Hat, сопровождающий пакеты с glibc в Fedora и RHEL. 👉@sysadminoff https://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=65825

Linux App Release Roundup (June 2026) June was sweltering, yet the heat didn’t affect developers too badly as a slew of updates to popular open-source Linux software made it out last month. We saw Firefox 152 released with its new-look settings page. The media converter HandBrake wrangled its WebM handling on Linux. And the Audacity 4.0 beta made its brand-new design available for public scrutiny – mainly of the ‘finally, it doesn’t look bad’ variety. But scores of smaller, minor and maintenance updates made it out too. Cine gained Watch History I spotlighted the Cine Linux video player earlier this year.
