How does Fedora process patches for security vulnerabilities? The short answer is that we work to stay on top of the news to implement patches, working in the community and with Red Hat for updates.

The long answer: fedoramagazine.org/how-fedora-…

At the end of the day, the best thing you can do is keep your system updated. :)

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Package Manager Where This Regularly Happens | Kevin Patel

「 “It’s a shame, but what can you do? This is just the price of building modern web apps,” said Senior Frontend Engineer Mark Vance, echoing the sentiments of a community that completely relies on a 40-level-deep nested tree of unvetted packages maintained by pseudonymous strangers to capitalize a single string 」

Local file exposure #vulnerability in linux kernels (CVE-2026-46333):

github.com/0xdeadbeefnetwork/s…

Apparently this issue was already identified in 2020 but wasn't fixed back then.

Mitigation:
- runtime:
sudo sysctl -w kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=2
- To make the mitigation persistent:
echo "kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=2" | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/01-harden-ptrace.conf

WARNING: This mitigation may break existing functionality. Test before deploying.

WARNING 2: While this mitigation does block the currently existing PoC, it may not prevent other attack vectors exploiting this vulnerability.

Well, the new Google ReCaptcha is awful, sheesh

It's a QR code you have to scan with a "proper" device - aka with Google Services installed

Goodbye last 10 years of phishing awareness, time to scan random QRs without a thought while you are purchasing things, woo! Seriously what were they thinking?

And because it's recommended to be put in "high risk" places, people will expect them to be seen there, and so a scam/phishing QR will be so much easier to slip in.
