OpenAI запустила инициативу Patch the Planet для поиска и исправления уязвимостей в открытом ПО Компания OpenAI объявила о запуске проекта Patch the Planet, ориентированного на повышение безопасности критически важных открытых проектов. Инициатива реализуется в рамках программы Daybreak совместно с компанией Trail of Bits и при участии организаций HackerOne и Calif. Цель инициативы - помочь сопровождающим открытого ПО выявлять, проверять и устранять уязвимости с использованием AI-инструментов и аудита безопасности, на фоне увеличения потока отчётов об ошибках, на разбор которых у сопровождающих зачастую не хватает времени и ресурсов. 👉@sysadminoff https://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=65751

Canonical предоставит для систем ARM64 обновления ядра, не требующие перезагрузки Компания Canonical объявила о расширении сервиса Livepatch на системы с Ubuntu 26.04 LTS и Ubuntu Core 26, использующие процессоры на базе архитектуры ARM64. Ранее Live-патчи распространялись только для архитектуры x86_64, так как в ядре Linux для архитектуры ARM64 отсутствовала поддержка надёжных трассировок стека (CONFIG_HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE) для выявления активности, связанной с обработкой прерываний, а в инструментарии objtool и kpatch отсутствовали полноценные возможности для оценки состояния до и после применения патча. На реализацию проекта и переработку инфраструктуры для использования live-патчей на системах ARM64 было потрачено три года. 👉@sysadminoff https://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=65746
