The 6.8.3, 6.7.12, 6.6.24, and 6.1.84 stable kernel updates have been released. Each contains an important set of fixes. Note that 6.7.12 is the final release for the 6.7.y series, and that branch is now end-of-life. Users should move to the 6.8.y branch.

A common theme in early-days anti-Linux FUD was that, since anybody can contribute to the code, it cannot be trusted. Over two decades later, one rarely hears that line anymore; experience has shown that free-software communities are not prone to shipping overtly hostile...

I'm on a holiday and only happened to look at my emails and it seems to be a major mess. — Lasse Collin The reality that we are struggling with is that the free software infrastructure on which much of computing runs is massively and painfully underfunded by society as...

Andres Freund has posted a detailed investigation into a backdoor that was shipped with versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 of the xz compression utility. It appears that the malicious code may be aimed at allowing SSH authentication to be bypassed. I have not yet analyzed precisely...
