Security Vulnerabilities Price Tag 1security advisory zero-day

CISA added CVE-2026-11645 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog after Google confirmed active exploitation of the flaw. The bug sits in V8, the JavaScript engine behind Chrome and Chromium. . That's where this gets more interesting. Most coverage will focus on Chrome because that's where the patch landed. But the affected component is V8. Chromium relies on it. Electron relies on it. Plenty of desktop software Linux users interact with every day relies on it too, often without much...

For years, IPv4 was the only proxy type that really mattered for anyone running automation off a Linux box. IPv6 was the protocol everyone said they’d migrate to, but almost nobody actually did. In 2026, that’s finally starting to shift. . The problem is that most admins stick with IPv4 out of habit. They know it; it’s what their tooling defaults to, and they don’t see a reason to change. Some are overpaying for addresses they don’t need. Others would quietly break their scrapers, scripts, or...

Researchers recently identified another wave of malicious packages on PyPI linked to the broader Mini Shai-Hulud campaign, a worm-like supply chain attack that spread through trusted software packages. On the surface, the packages looked no different from thousands of others published to the repository each week. . Instead of trying to break into a target network directly, the attackers hid malicious code inside software that developers were already using. A few downloads are all it takes....

IronWorm steals credentials and uses them to spread beyond the original victim, turning developer access into a supply chain risk. . A new campaign targeting npm has evolved past simple credential theft. Researchers identified IronWorm, a self-spreading threat. It harvests high-value Linux development secrets—SSH keys, cloud tokens, package publishing credentials. One compromised workstation becomes a launchpad for downstream supply chain attacks. This is not a get-in-and-get-out operation....

The romanticized image of the digital nomad – a laptop on a sun-drenched balcony – rarely accounts for the actual friction of maintaining a professional development environment on the move. . The friction is amplified with Linux. We are looking for a setup that respects our kernel configurations, handles volatile network handovers, and maintains a strict security posture without the hand-holding of a consumer-grade OS – so, put simply, more than just a laptop and a sunny deck. The hardware is...

Fedora Core 2 Test: Security Enhancements in SELinux Features

Red Hat Inc. announced Thursday the release of a test version of Fedora Core 2 that is based on the recently released 2.6 Linux kernel. Our readers are probably already aware that 2.6 integrates a whole lot more security into the kernel than was previously the case, including hooks for SELinux, IPSec, and ACLs. Fedora is a hobbyist version of Linux that is constantly being updated and likely does not offer the stability an enterprise would require for its mission-critical systems. This is the first of three phases of the Fedora Core 2 release schedule, which runs through April 19, said Brian M. Stevens, vice president of engineering. . . .. Red Hat Inc. announced Thursday the release of a test version of Fedora Core 2 that is based on the recently released 2.6 Linux kernel. Fedora is a hobbyist version of Linux that is constantly being updated and likely does not offer the stability an enterprise would require for its mission-critical systems. This is the first of three phases of the Fedora Core 2 release schedule, which runs through April 19, said Brian M. Stevens, vice president of engineering. Stevens said that Red Hat on Thursday also released the alpha version of the next installment of Red Hat Enterprise Linux to OEMs, partners and large customers for review. Fedora Core 2 is based not only on the 2.6 kernel, but also on Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux), a hardened version of Linux developed by the National Security Agency. SELinux includes "strong, flexible mandatory access control architecture incorporated into the major subsystems of the kernel," according to the NSA's Web site. "The system provides a mechanism to enforce the separation of information based on confidentiality and integrity requirements." Red Hat is hoping for feedback from developers and testers that can be taken into account as subsequent test versions are developed. This is the first 2.6 distribution available for public review, and Stevens expects the feedback Red Hat receives to be crucial to the continuing development of the2.6 kernel. "You never expect [the feedback] you get back," Stevens said. "It's always the unknowns that are interesting. This is critical exposure." In this test version, Stevens said SELinux must be booted separately for it to work. Stevens noted that the policy around SELinux needs to be refined. He expects that the second test version of Fedora will have SELinux turned on by default. The link for this article located at techtarget.com is no longer available. .
