Linux Roundup Hero Esm H350
Security Vulnerabilities Price Tag%201security advisory Red Hat

Before the week gets away from you, take a look at what's landed across the Linux ecosystem. The volume of security advisories hasn't slowed, and while not every update demands an emergency maintenance window, several deserve to move to the top of your patch queue. This week's updates span the kernel, remote desktop infrastructure, VPNs, containers, browsers, and the utilities Linux systems quietly depend on every day. Individually, these look routine. Together they show how quickly attackers...

Ghostlock Hero Esm H350
Security Vulnerabilities Price Tag%201security research open-source

When researchers announced GhostLock, many people focused on the exploit. What stood out to me wasn't just what the vulnerability could do, but how long it had remained hidden. The flaw had lived in the Linux kernel for roughly 15 years before it was publicly identified by researchers. That means the flaw survived hundreds of kernel releases and years of upstream development before it was publicly documented. It raises an uncomfortable question about one of open source's oldest assumptions....

Spin up a fresh Linux VPS with default settings and check /var/log/auth.log ninety seconds later. There will already be failed login attempts — not dozens, hundreds, sometimes before the deployment script has even finished running. . Automated bots scan the entire IPv4 address space non-stop, and port 22 with password authentication open is exactly what they're looking for. Most cloud providers have seen enough of this that a new instance gets its first probe within a minute of going live....

GITEA Vulv Linux Esm H350
Security Vulnerabilities Price Tag%201security advisory critical

If you’re running Gitea in a container, stop what you’re doing and check your versioning right now. We’re looking at a critical vulnerability— CVE-2026-20896 —shipped directly in Gitea’s official Docker images. It’s a 9.8 CVSS-rated "open door" that lets any unauthenticated attacker stroll in and impersonate any user on your system, admin account included, without needing a password or a token. The reality? This isn't some complex, low-level kernel exploit. It’s a classic "secure-by-default"...

There was a time when Linux meant server rooms and hobbyist forums. These days it's on regular laptops, and a big part of that is people getting fed up with commercial operating systems scraping their data, shipping telemetry nobody asked for, and boxing them into hardware ecosystems they can't opt out of. . None of that makes Linux immune to trouble though. Yes, it dodges most of the mainstream malware that everyone else deals with. But the software running on top, and honestly the person...

What is the feasibility of running national federal elections over the Internet? SunWorld guest writer Avi Rubin focuses on the limitations of the currently deployed infrastructure, with an emphasis on concerns over the security of voting hosts and the Internet itself. Historically, great effort and care has been taken to ensure that elections are conducted in a fair manner, and that the candidate who should win the election based on a vote count actually does. It is equally important that the public's confidence in the election process remain strong. In the past, changes to the election process have proceeded deliberately and judiciously, and have often entailed lengthy debates over minute details. After all, a discrepancy in the election system can threaten the very principles that make our society free, which in turn could affect every aspect of the way we live.
