Software 44100 Published 2026-02-08 13:05 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Roundcube Webmail 1.6.13 (and the 1.5.13 LTS) patches a CSS injection flaw and an SVG‑based remote image bypass that have been weaponized in recent phishing bursts. Ignoring these bugs can expose session cookies or let hidden trackers load when users preview messages, a scenario many admins have already witnessed after a rogue plugin update.

Wine Staging 11.2 released

Software 44100 Published 2026-02-08 09:33 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Wine Staging 11.2 has been released with several graphics-related patches and experimental features that have not yet made it into the regular development branch. The update includes an updated vkd3d-latest patchset, which improves DirectX 12 translation on Vulkan, as well as a new mshtml-adobe patch to fix Internet Explorer rendering issues. Additionally, several patches have been removed due to being dead ends or causing regressions, resulting in a leaner binary for most users.

Goverlay 1.7.4 released

Software 44100 Published 2026-02-08 09:20 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Goverlay 1.7.4 brings OptiPatcher support and a handful of bug‑fixes that smooth out the setup of MangoHud, vkBasalt and OptiScaler. The easiest way to install it is through Flatpak, which bundles all required Qt libraries and Vulkan layers; an AppImage works too but you’ll need to replace the file yourself for updates.

Samba 4.24.0rc2 released

Software 44100 Published 2026-02-08 08:56 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Samba 4.24 rc2 is now available for download from the official Samba mirror and should only be used in test environments, not production. The release adds audit logging for several AD attributes, supports remote password resets that respect local policies (Entra ID/Keycloak), and introduces Kerberos hardening options such as mandatory canonicalization to block “dollar‑ticket” attacks. New VFS modules provide optional rate‑limiting for async I/O and per‑share encryption on CephFS, but both are unnecessary unless you already have performance or security problems that require them.
