The AppArmor Linux security system has picked up a few improvements and new features with the in-development Linux 6.7 kernel.
The new Linux 6.6 kernel is now available, integrating an array of updated capabilities that will impact workstation, server and cloud deployments.
Everyone uses Linux, and companies are willing to pay to develop it, but maintaining Linux's code? That's another matter.
SpiralLinux is the working person's Linux. Here's why you should give it a try.
Theo de Raadt released OpenBSD 7.4 today as the open-source BSD operating system project's 55th release.
Microsoft's proprietary protocol, Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS), started with a good idea. It would enable hardware vendors to add networking support to USB devices without having to build them from scratch. There was only one little problem. RNDIS has no security to speak of.
The newest open-source project hosted by the Linux Foundation is OpenPubkey, which is a collaboration with Docker and BastionZero and will be available for Docker container signing with zero-trust passwordless authentication.
More RISC-V architecture updates were merged this weekend for the ongoing Linux 6.6 merge window.
Since early this year AMD has been working on Linux enablement patches for Dynamic Boost Control (DBC). This is a new feature of some AMD SoCs that allow an "authenticated entity" to have greater control over certain SoC characteristics to improve the power/performance. AMD DBC was merged for Linux 6.6 just days ago while already new patches have been posted that extend the supported platforms for this Dynamic Boost Control functionality.
In the world of web development, terms like MEAN, MERN, LEMP, and PERN are frequently encountered. These terms refer to web stacks, which are bundles of software, frameworks, and libraries used for building full-stack web applications. One such popular web stack is LEMP. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore what the LEMP stack is, its components, how it works, and why it is popular in web development.
While I have been eagerly following the AMD openSIL project for open-source CPU initialization that will eventually replace AGESA, today AMD announced a new open-source firmware drop: the SEV firmware has been made open-source.
Following yesterday's disclosure of the AMD "Inception" security vulnerability and the Linux kernel patches merged for reporting the mitigation status as well as the kernel-based handling for earlier generation Zen CPUs, the Family 19h microcode mitigations have now been picked up by the linux-firmware.git repository.
An internal developer portal can help you consolidate and evolve your security strategy.
Microsoft has released an updated version of its CBL-Mariner 2.0 in-house Linux distribution that includes various security patches, new packages being added to the OS, and a variety of other updates.
AMD's fTPM issues are well-known in the industry, often causing system crashes and freezing. Linux's creator Linus Torvalds has expressed his disappointment towards the feature, labeling it a "plague" for the kernel.
Ahead of the Linux 6.5-rc2 release tomorrow there was a set of x86/x86_64 kernel changes merged overnight to deal with some weaknesses in the kernel's Control Flow Integrity (kCFI) / FineIBT (Indirect Branch Tracking) code.
The Linux 6.3 kernel series is now marked as EOL on the kernel.org website and the last release is 6.3.13.
Nitrux Update Tool System (NUTS) command-line utility is now available for Nitrux users and it can also perform rollbacks.
Public source code repositories, from Sourceforge to GitHub, from the Linux Kernel Archives to ReactOS.org, from PHP Packagist to the Python Package Index, better known as PyPI, are a fantastic source (sorry!) of free operating systems, applications, programming libraries, and developers’ toolkits that have done computer science and software engineering a world of good.
Since 41% of organizations are still not confident about their open-source software security, more innovations are needed to change this narrative. Even though software bill of materials offer more visibility, the Open Source Security Foundation seeks to alter SBOMs from just being a mechanism to be organism-based so that they address issues such as changes in metadata and compiler flags, according to Omkhar Arasaratnam, general manager of OpenSSF at The Linux Foundation.
