Software 44615 Published 2026-07-25 19:17 by Philipp Esselbach 0

GloriousEggroll has published GE-Proton11.3, a rapid-response hotfix for the popular Linux gaming compatibility layer that lands just hours after the massive 11.2 release. The drop contains three targeted patches, including a fix for a wine-wayland virtual device double-input bug, an ARM64 compilation break in the wineopenxr patch, and a second ARM64 failure from x86-only NVIDIA libraries. Those two ARM64-focused fixes signal that the project's build pipeline is actively prioritizing Apple Silicon and Linux ARM support alongside traditional x86_64 desktops. Users can grab the verified tarballs from the GitHub releases page and drop them into their Steam compatibility tools folder or feed them to frontends like Heroic and Lutris.

Linux Kernel 6.12.98 Released: Minimal Stable Update with Single ext4 fd Leak Fix

Linux 3394 Published 2026-07-25 08:40 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Linux Kernel 6.12.98 is now available, signed off today by Greg Kroah-Hartman with a changelog barely hitting 1.3 KB. The release contains one backported patch from Wind River fixing a file descriptor leak in ext4's EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl, which can cause EMFILE errors during failed cross-filesystem move extent operations. If you're running the 6.12.y longterm branch, this is the minimal update to apply, though the impact is limited to edge cases involving backup or migration tools triggering the specific validation path. The 6.12.y branch remains supported through December 2028, built on the November 2024 mainline release that introduced EEVDF and PREEMPT_RT support.

KDE Plasma 6.8 Adds Remote Desktop Auto-Lock, kscreenctl, and Login Improvements

KDE 1754 Published 2026-07-25 08:24 by Philipp Esselbach 0

KDE's latest development sprint for Plasma 6.8 has introduced a significant security enhancement that automatically locks and unlocks desktop sessions when Remote Desktop clients connect or disconnect. Long-time power users will appreciate the new kscreenctl command-line tool, which serves as a robust replacement for the deprecated kscreen-doctor utility and supports script-based display configuration. The Plasma Login Manager now remembers the last-used session type per user account, eliminating the need to manually select between Plasma, X11, or Wayland on shared machines. Additional usability updates include improved multi-screen task switching that targets the active monitor, grouped transaction displays in Discover, and enhanced language search in the initial setup wizard.

Linux Kernel (Azure/azure-fde) Patches 500+ Vulnerabilities Spanning Network, Storage, and Driver Subsystems update for Ubuntu

Ubuntu 7162 Published 2026-07-25 07:07 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Ubuntu released a security update for Linux kernels on Azure and Azure FDE systems running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, patching over five hundred vulnerabilities spanning networking, file systems, drivers, and hardware interfaces. The advisory specifically flags flaws in AMD processors that let local attackers leak sensitive data through speculative execution or escalate privileges via shared cache isolation failures on Zen 2 chips. System administrators should install the corrected kernel packages immediately and reboot their virtual machines, keeping in mind that new version numbers force a recompilation of all third-party kernel modules due to an ABI change.

Spice-Vdagent, ImageMagick, GRUB2, and Exim4 updates for Debian

Debian 11007 Published 2026-07-25 06:48 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Debian administrators must apply four new security patches targeting critical flaws in spice-vdagent, ImageMagick, GRUB2, and Exim4 this month. The spice-vdagent release closes an integer overflow that crashes virtual machines alongside a path traversal bug permitting unauthorized file writes, while ImageMagick addresses more than twelve issues where malformed images risk denial of service or arbitrary code execution. GRUB2 clears twenty weaknesses tied to UEFI Secure Boot bypasses and system instability, and Exim4 patches two mail server bugs that enabled local privilege escalation. System operators running Debian 10 through 13 should upgrade to the specified package versions right away to block active exploitation.

LibreOffice 26.2.5 Ships with Skia Rolled Back to Experimental and Hard Deadline for 25.8

Software 44615 Published 2026-07-24 21:39 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The Document Foundation released LibreOffice 26.2.5 to force a migration off the end-of-life 25.8 branch, which lost security support this past June. While the update retains native Markdown import and export as a major competitive win, it rolls the Skia rendering engine back to experimental mode on Windows and macOS following widespread crash reports. The foundation's development ecosystem continues to grow, with corporate contributors supplying nearly half of the codebase and annual donations jumping 57% year over year. LibreOffice 26.8 RC1 enters testing in August, leaving organizations relying on the 26.2 branch with roughly a month before 26.2.6 closes out the current support line.

Libpq, Mariadb-Connector-C, and Glibc updates for AlmaLinux

AlmaLinux 2611 Published 2026-07-24 06:46 by Philipp Esselbach 0

AlmaLinux released security updates targeting the libpq, mariadb-connector-c, and glibc packages for AlmaLinux versions 9 and 10 to address important vulnerabilities affecting database connectivity and core system libraries. The patches resolve buffer overflow flaws in PostgreSQL's libpq that allow a server superuser to overwrite client stack memory, plus a SQL injection weakness in the MariaDB connector caused by improper big5 character set handling. A moderate-severity update for glibc on AlmaLinux 9 resolves three additional bugs, including information disclosure via ungetwc with specific wide character encodings and out-of-bounds writes triggered by TSIG record processing. System administrators should install these updates to mitigate the documented risks, which include potential stack memory corruption, data exfiltration, denial of service, and application crashes across the affected components.
