Wolvic 1.5 light: 25/09/2023 Wolvic 1.5, intended for use in augmented and virtual reality systems, is out. The project continues to develop the Firefox Reality browser, which was previously developed by Mozilla. After the stagnation of the Firefox Reality code base as part of the Wolvic project, it was continued by Igalia, known for its participation in the development of free projects such as GNOME, GTK, WebKitGTK, Epiphany, GStreamer, Wine, Mesa and freedesktop.org. The Wolvic code is written in Java and C++, and is distributed under the MPLv2 license. Ready-made builds are available for the Android platform. 3D helmets like Oculus, Huawei VR Glass, Lenovo VRX, Lenovo A3, HTC Vive Focus, Pico Neo, Pico4, Pico4, Meta Quest Pro and Lynx are supported. (also portable the browser for Qualcomm devices). They’ve made a number of user interface (UI) improvements, such as the new hand models we show on all hand-tracking devices. These look a fair bit like actual hands, which is useful when trying to manipulate virtual objects. The second major UI improvement is the Find in Page feature, which works like it does in 2D browsers: you input a bit of text and Wolvic will highlight all occurrences of it in the page. You use arrow buttons to jump from one occurrence to the next (or to the previous) which can be very useful for finding specific bits of text in long pages like Wikipedia articles. Third but by no means last, they’ve added a brand new date and time pickers, which are designed to be easily usable in virtual environments. https://wolvic.com/blog/release_1.5/

KaOS 2023.09: 26/09/2023 KaOS 2023.09, a distribution with a continuous update model aimed at providing a desktop based on the latest releases of KDE and applications using Qt, is out. From the features specific to the design, you can note the placement of a vertical panel on the right side of the screen. The distribution is evolving with an eye on Arch Linux, but supports its own independent repository, with over 1,500 packages and offers a number of its own graphical utilities. XFS is used as a default file system. Builds are published for x86_64 (3.5 GB). Separately, iso-images are built for testing components developed in the experimental branch of KDE Plasma 6. In November, they plan to release the last update of KaOS based on KDE Plasma 5 and switch to KDE Plasma 6. https://kaosx.us/news/2023/kaos09/ LibrePCB reaches 1.0: 26/09/2023 The release of LibrePCB 1.0.0, which is the first full-fledged release, free from restrictions that prevent the creation of sufficiently complex PCBs, was announced. LibrePCB is positioned as an intuitive package for the rapid development of boards, which lags behind in functionality from KiCad, but much easier use and at the same time takes into account the needs of not only beginners, but also professional engineers. The program is available in builds for Linux (Flatpak, Snap, AppImage), FreeBSD, macOS and Windows. The project code is written in C++ (Qt interface) and is distributed under the GPLv3 license. LibrePCB includes a project management interface, an electronic circuit editor, a multi-layer printed circuit board editor, a service for generating data to start production, a librepcb-cli command line utility to automate typical work (e.g., validation and export of data), an electronic component library with navigation on a tree categorized list, an interface for connecting various existing libraries of elements that can be added both in the form of archives and integration. It supports the import of DXF files and export in PDF, SVG and CSV BOM, pick&cap X3/CSV, Gerber/Excellon and STEP formats. https://librepcb.org/blog/2023-09-24_release_1.0.0/

GNU Project is 40 years old: 27/09/2023 On September 27, 1983, Richard Stallman founded the GNU (Gnu's Not Unix) project, aimed at developing system components to create a free Unix analogue that can completely do without proprietary software. GNU forms a community of free projects moving towards a common goal and are developed according to a single ideology and philosophy. Currently, 385 free projects are developing under the GNU flag, including GCC, Glibc, Bash, Emacs, Emacs, binutils, classpath, coreutils, syutils, ddd, freeFont, gakk, GDB, GetText, Ghostscript, GSMP, Gnash, Gnumeric,curses, screen and wget. Initially, the central links of the project were the GNU core, developer tools and a set of applications and utilities for the user environment, including a text editor, a board processor, a command shell and even a set of games. The core developed by the project was not properly distributed, but the user environment and development tools were in demand and, in combination with the Linux kernel, which formed the basis of GNU/Linux distributions. https://www.gnu.org/gnu/initial-announcement.html

Release of Porteus 5.01: 27/09/2023 More than a year after the last update was published, there is Porteus 5.01 Live distribution, built on the Slackware Linux package base and offers builds with Xfce, Cinnamon, GNOME, KDE, LXDE, LXQt, MATE and OpenBox. The composition of the distribution is selected for the minimum consumption of resources, which allows you to use Porteus on outdated equipment. Features include a high loading speed. To download, compact Live images are offered, about 380 MB in size, built for the i586 and x86_64 architectures. The new version is synchronized with the repository of Slackware 15.0-patches, the Linux kernel has been updated to version 6.5. New versions of Sysvinit 3.07, BusyBox 1.36.1, mpv 0.36.0, VirtualBox 7.01, proprietary drivers NVIDIA 535 and 470 are offered. Perl is moved to the 05-devel module, and the xcb stack to 002-xorg. They added the convertz script to convert the directory with xz compressed modules, to modules compressed using the zstd algorithm. They also added a new version of the user environment LXQt. https://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?t=11004&p=95911

Linux Mint Debian Edition 6: 27/09/2023 A year and a half since the last release, the release of an alternative build of Linux Mint - Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 distribution, built on Debian (the classic Linux Mint is based on the Ubuntu package base) has been released. The distribution is available as installation iso-images with Cinnamon 5.8 desktop environment. LMDE is focused on technically literate users and provides newer versions of packages. The goal of LMDE is to verify that Linux Mint will be able to continue to exist in the same form even if Ubuntu is discontinued. In addition, LMDE helps to check project-developed applications for their full operation in systems other than Ubuntu. The delivery of LMDE includes most improvements in the classic Linux Mint 21.2 release, as well as original project development (application manager, update system, configurators, menus, Xed text editor, photo manager Pix, Xreader document viewer, Xreader image viewer). The distribution is fully compatible with Debian GNU/Linux 12, but is not compatible at the package level with Ubuntu and classic Linux Mint releases. The system environment corresponds to that of Debian GNU/Linux 12 (Linux 6.1, systemd 252, GCC 12.2, Mesa 22.3.6). https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4570

Release of CrossOver 23.5: 28/09/2023 CodeWeavers has released the Crossover 23.5 package, based on the Wine code and designed to run programs and games written for the Windows platform. CodeWeavers is one of the key participants of the Wine project, sponsors its development and returns to the project all the innovations implemented for its commercial products. The new version, which continues to be based on Wine 8.0.1, vkd3d 1.8 and DXVK 1.10.3, improved compatibility with Debian 13 (Debian Testing), open SUSE 15.1 and Ubuntu 23.10. The builds for the macOS platform have 14 “Sonoma” compatibility, support for GStreamer and the broadcasting layer from the Game Porting Toolkit is provided, the configuration has been added to use D3DMetal instead of DXVK, problems are solved when running games protected by Denuvo, added support for the game Baldur's Gate 3, improved quality and improved performance in other games like Mortal Kombat 1, Deep Rock Galactic, Satisfactory, Monster Hunter Rise, God of War and Batman Arkham Knight. https://www.codeweavers.com/support/forums/announce/?t=24;msg=289484

Red Hat moves from Bugzilla Error Tracking System to JIRA: 29/09/2023 Red Hat has announced the redeployment of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS Stream to a new error tracking system.redhat.com, built on the Jira proprietary platform developed by Atlassian. Earlier, Red Hat used its own edition of the free error tracking platform Bugzilla. The Fedora project will continue to use Bugzilla, despite the introduction of Jira in RHEL and CentOS Stream. The reason for migration is the desire to consolidate the management of all projects in one place and use Jira as a single platform for managing all aspects of development. It is also noted that the use of Jira will expand the opportunities for collaboration and increase the flexibility in providing access to partners and the community to different stages of development. Jira's advantages are advanced visualization capabilities, intuitive hierarchy management and the presence of REST API. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/rhel-tracking-moving-to-jira

COSMIC's replacement of windows: 29/09/2023 System76, who are developing the Pop!_OS Linux distribution, published a September report on the development of a new edition of the COSMIC user environment, rewritten in the Rust language (not to be confused with the old COSMIC, which was based on GNOME Shell). The environment develops as a universal project, not tied to a specific distribution and conforming to the specifications of Freedesktop. The project is also developing a composite server cosmic-comp based on Wayland. Recent changes have seen the implementation of the Window-Swappin mode to replace windows when using mosaic (tile) layout. Thanks to the Auto-tiling function, the position for new windows on the screen is selected automatically, which might not always match the expectation of the user. (The window can be moved manually, but this requires additional manipulation and distracts the user.) To simplify the overshuffle operation of windows, a quick replacement mode is proposed, allowing you to press and hold the keyboard combination “Super + X” (Windows + X) quickly move the window by additionally pressing the cursor control keys. https://blog.system76.com/post/cosmic-september-new-window-swapping-mode

Ubuntu Snap Store identified malicious packages: 30/09/2023 Canonical announced a temporary suspension of the use in the Snap Store for automatic system checking of published packages, due to the appearance in the repository of packages with malicious code for the theft of cryptocurrency from users. At the same time, it is unclear whether the incident is limited by the publication of malicious packages by third-party authors or there are any security problems directly in the repository, since the situation in the official announcement is characterized as a “potential security incident.” Details about the incident are promised to be disclosed after the inspection. At the time of the inspection, the service is transferred to manual review mode, in which all registrations of new snap-packs will be manually checked before publication. The change will not affect the download and publication of updates for existing snap packages. Problems were identified in the packages ledgerlive, ledger1ledger1, trezor-wallet and electrum-wallet2electrum-wallet2, published by attackers under the guise of official packages from the developers of the noted crypto wallets, but in fact had nothing to do with them. Currently, problematic snaps have already been removed from the repository and are no longer available. https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/temporary-suspension-of-automatic-snap-registration-following-security-incident/37077

New release of auto-cpufreq 2.0: 30/09/2023 After four years of development, the release of the auto-cpufreq 2.0 utility, designed to automatically optimize the speed of the CPU and power consumption in the system, is presented. The utility monitors the state of the laptop battery, the load on the CPU, the temperature of the CPU and the activity in the system, and depending on the situation and the selected options, dynamically activates energy saving modes or high performance. It is supported on devices with Intel, AMD and ARM processors. The code is written in Python and distributed under the LGPLv3 license. Auto-cpufreq can be used to automatically extend the battery life of laptops without constantly cutting any features. Unlike the TLP utility, the auto-cpufreq not only allows you to set economical power modes during the offline operation of the device, but also temporarily turn on high performance mode(turbo boost) when identifying an increase in the load on the system. https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq/

Advertising ransomware as Thunderbird mail client: 03/10/2023 The developers of the Thunderbird project warned users about the appearance of ads offering to install ready-made collections of the Thunderbird mail client in the Google advertising network. In fact, under the guise of Thunderbird, malware was distributed, which after installation collected and sent confidential and personal information from user systems to an external server, after which the attackers extorted money not to disclose the information (for example, non-disclosure corporate data). In addition to Thunderbird there were advertising of similar malicious builds of Discord, Microsoft Teams and Adobe Reader. Users are advised to use only official sources of Thunderbird, such as thunderbird.net, packages from regular Linux distribution repositories and official project pages in the Microsoft Store, Snap Store and Flathub directories. https://blog.thunderbird.net/2023/10/ransomware-alert-are-you-using-a-trusted-version-of-thunderbird/

La publicité d’un rançongiciel comme client mail Thunderbird 03/10/2023

Les développeurs du projet Thunderbird ont alerté les utilisateurs concernant l’apparence d’annonces dans le réseau d’annonces Google, proposant l’installation de collections prêtes à l’emploi du client mail Thunderbird. En fait, sous couvert de Thunderbird, des maliciels ont été distribués. Après installation, le maliciel collectait et envoyait des informations confidentielles et personnelles des systêmes utilisateur vers un serveur externe, à la suite de quoi, les hackers ont soutiré de l’argent pour ne pas divulguer des renseignements (par exemple, la non-divulgation des données d’une entreprise). En plus de Thunderbird, il y avait des publicités de compilations malicieuses similaires de Discord, Microsoft Teams et Adobe Reader.

Les utilisateurs devront se servir uniquement des sources officielles de Thunderbird, comme thunderbird.net, des paquets à partir des dépôts d’une distribution Linux connue et des pages du projet officielles dans les répertoires du Microsoft Store, du Snap Store et de Flathub.

Release of OpenSSH 9.5: 05/10/2023 The release of OpenSSH 9.5, open implementation of the client and server for SSH 2.0 and SFTP protocols has been published. Main changes are to the ssh-keygen. By default includes the generation of keys based on the Ed25519 digital signature, developed by Daniel Bernstein and standardized in RFC 8709. It is noted that the Ed25519 keys are supported starting from the 2014 release of OpenSSH 6.5 and more convenient because of its small size. At the same time, the digital signatures of Ed25519 have a higher level of security than ECDSA and DSA, and show a very high speed of verification and signature creation. The cracking resistance for Ed25519 is about 2×128 (on average, the attack on Ed25519 will require 2×140 bit operations), which corresponds to the resistance of algorithms such as NIST P-256 and RSA with a key size of 375 bytes or 128-bit block ciphers. Ed25519 is also not subject to problems with hashes, not sensitive to attacks by determining cache-timing attacks and screen attacks on third-channel attacks. https://lists.mindrot.org/pipermail/openssh-unix-dev/2023-October/040967.html

Publication d’Open SSH 9.5 05/10/2023

OpenSSH 9.5, une implémentation ouverte du client et serveur pour les protocoles SSH 2.0 et SFTP, est sortie. Les changements principaux sont au ssh-keygen. Par défaut, cela inclut la génération de clés basées sur la signature numérique Ed25519, développée par Daniel Bernstein et normalisée dans RFC 8709. Les clés Ed25519 sont prises en charge depuis la sortie d’OpenSSH 6.5 en 2014 et sont plus commodes à cause de leur petite taille. En même temps, les signatures numériques de Ed25519 ont un niveau de sécurité plus élevé que EDCSA et DSA et montrent des vérifications et créations de signature à très haute vitesse. La résistance au piratage pour Ed25519 est environ 2 x 128 (en moyenne, une attaque sur Ed25519 nécessitera des opérations de 2 x 140 bit), ce qui correspond à la résistance d’algorithmes comme NIST P-256 et RAS avec une taille de clé de 375 bytes ou des chiffrements par bloc de 128 bit. Ed25519 n’est pas sujette au problèmes avec des hashages, et n’est pas sensible aux attaques par la détermination d'attaques de « cache-timing » et des attaques d’écran sur des attaques du troisième canal.

Presenting OpenPubKey: 08/10/2023 The Linux Foundation, BastionZero and Docker have unveiled an open project, OpenPubKey, which develops the eponymous cryptographic protocol for certification of arbitrary objects. The technology was developed as a joint project of BastionZero and Docker to simplify the certification of digital signatures of Docker container images, to exclude their substitutions and to confirm the build of the declared creator. The project will develop on a neutral platform under the auspices of the Linux Foundation, which will eliminate dependence on individual commercial companies and simplify joint work with third-party participants. The OpenPubKey's reference is written in Go and is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license. The capabilities of OpenPubKey are not limited to container imagery and the technology can be used to confirm the source of any resource, prevent dependencies substitution and improve the security of data sets and distribution channels. For example, the technology is applicable to certify program builds, individual messages and commits. The signature creators have sufficiently vowed to have an account in the service that supports OpenID, and consumers are given the opportunity to check the attached signatures and confirm their connection with the declared OpenID identifier. https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/announcing-openpubkey-project

Présentation de OpenPubKey 08/10/2023

La Fondation Linux, BastionZero et Docker ont révélé un projet open, OpenPubKey, qui développe le protocole cryptographique éponyme pour la certification d’objets arbitraires. La technologie a été développé en tant que projet conjoint de BastionZero et Docker pour simplifier la certification de signatures numériques des images de conteneur Docker, pour exclure leurs substitutions et confirmer le build du créateur déclaré. Le projet se développera sur une plateforme neutre sous l’égide de la Fondation Linux, qui éliminera la dépendance sur des sociétés commerciales et simplifiera le travail conjoint avec des tiers. OpenPubKey est écrite en Go et distribué sous la licence Apache 2.0.

Les capacités de OpenPubKey ne se limitent pas à l’image des conteneurs et la technologie peut être utilisée pour confirmer les sources de n’importe quelle ressource, empêcher la substitution de dépendances et améliorer la sécurité d’ensembles de données et des canaux de distribution. Par exemple, la technologie peut être utilisé pour certifier le build des programmes, de messages individuels et des commits. Les créateurs de la signature ont juré suffisamment qu’ils ont un compte dans le service qui soutient OpenID et les consommateurs ont l’occasion de vérifier les signatures attachées et confirmer leur connexion avec l’identifieur déclaré d’OpenID.

First release of Incus: 08/10/2023 The first release of the Incus project is presented, where the Linux Containers community develops a fork of the LXD container management system, created by the old team of developers that once created LXD. The Incus code is written in Go and is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license. The Linux Containers community oversaw the development of LXD before Canonical decided to develop LXD alone as a corporate project. The goal of the fork is to provide an alternative to the LXD project, controlled by the company LXD. As part of the Incus project, they also plan to eliminate some conceptual errors made during the development of LXD, which previously could not be corrected without breaking backward compatibility. In terms of functionality, the first release of Incus, corresponds to the recently released LXD 5.18 update and focuses primarily on the renaming and reorganization of the codebase, as well as the removal of outdated capabilities. At the same time, the new version also notes the changes specific to Incus in the command line interface and API, which were not included in LXD due to the requirements for backward compatibility. In the future, the developers plan to transfer useful improvements and fixes from the LXD code base, but also developing their original innovations, which, if desired, Canonical will be able to port to LXD. https://groups.google.com/a/lists.linuxcontainers.org/g/lxc-users/c/5G6jN--29uU

Première sortie d’Incus 08/10/2023

La première version du projet Incus, où la communauté des Linux Containers développe une branche du système de gestion des conteneurs LXD, créée par la vieille équipe de développeurs qui, autrefois, avait créé LXD, est présentée. Le code d’Incus est écrit en Go et distribué sous la licence Apache 2.0.

La communauté des Linux Containers a supervisé le développement de LXD avant que Canonical ne décide de développer LXD seul comme un projet corporatif. L’objectif de la branche est de fournir une alternative, contrôlée par la société LXD, au projet LXD. Une partie du projet Incus sera consacrée à l’élimination de quelques erreurs conceptuelles faites pendant le développement de LXD, qui ne pouvaient pas être corrigées auparavant sans casser la rétro-compatibilité.

En termes de fonctionnalité, la première version d’Incus correspond à la mise à jour 5.18 de LXD, sortie récemment ; elle se concentre essentiellement sur le renommage et la réorganisation de la base de code, ainsi que sur la suppression de capacités périmées. En même temps, la nouvelle version note également les changements spécifiques à Incus dans l’interface de ligne de commande et l’API, qui n’étaient pas inclus dans LXD à cause de la nécessité de rétro-compatibilité. À l’avenir, les développeurs envisagent de transférer des améliorations et corrections utiles de la base de code LXD, mais aussi de développer leurs innovations originales, que Canonical pourra porter sur LXD, si désiré.

Ubuntu will restrict access to user namespace: 10/10/2023 Canonical has announced changes in Ubuntu 23.10 that restrict the access of unprivileged users to user namespace that will increase the security of systems using container isolation from vulnerabilities that require the operation of user namespace. According to Google, 44% of exploits participating in the money rewards program for identifying vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel require the possibility of creating user Identifiers. Instead of blocking access to the user namespace in Ubuntu, a hybrid scheme selectively allowing some programs the ability to create a user namespace if the AppArmor profile is with the rule “allow userns create” or CAP_SYS_ADMIN rights. In the upcoming release of Ubuntu 23.10, the restriction of access to user namespace is planned to not be included by default. Within a few weeks of the release of Ubuntu 23.10, the developers will collect information about the possible negative impact of disabling access to the user namespace, relating to packages and prepare the appropriate AppArmor profiles. Then, in one of the corrective updates, the limit will be activated by default. https://canonical.com//blog/ubuntu-23-10-restricted-unprivileged-user-namespaces
