They have been trying to work with the Flatpak people to make it a standard everyone could share. After half a decade of frustration I think they just gave up and decided to do it themselves.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Dirty Frag: Universal Linux LPE - allows any unprivileged local user to gain root access on a vulnerable Linux system - no patch available
15·6 days agoI’m not the person you replied to, but I would love to have more ARM hardware for running tests on. A lot of what I write needs to be separately tested on each architecture.

7·6 days agoDesktop machines aren’t really the target of these kinds of attacks.
Also I think the author in this case seems to have been pretty reasonable about what they did. If more of these issues were done this way I wouldn’t have nearly as much irritation about “branded bugs.”

16·12 days agoPerson A: Red Hat has massive US military contracts for autonomous weapons that are being used against Iran!

Person A: Do it!
Person B: But do they have and military contracts like that?

Linux@programming.dev•Canonical Says Ubuntu Infrastructure Is Facing Cross-Border DDoS Attack
5·12 days agoNot true. None of the major distros were alerted and Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL, etc. were all struggling at the last minute. See: https://infosec.exchange/@wdormann/116489443704631952
However, none of those DDoS’s took out the archive servers, so Ubuntu users could still get new kernels.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) is a trivially exploitable logic bug in Linux, reachable on all major distros released in the last 9 years. A small, portable python script gets root on all platforms.

Yes, both.
The architecture is really varied. You can get super cheap SoCs that are barely capable of running FreeRTOS, and you can get 100+ core beasts with EFI, PCIe, etc.

Some Canonical employees are working on it but it’s not originally a Canonical project.
