I actually think we may want to go further than this.

I think we should simply make it a rule that "a 'security' bug that is found by AI is public".

Now, I may be influenced by that "my inbox is a disaster during the merge window" thing, but I do think this is pretty fundamental: if somebody finds a bug with more or less standard AI tools (ie we're not talking magical special hardware and nation-state level efforts), then that bug pretty much by definition IS NOT SECRET.

So why should be consider it special and have it be on the security list?

Yes, yes, I know - some people think that "security bugs are special". And I've been on the record before calling that opinion special - in the short bus sense.

Bugs are bugs. And not having them in public only makes them harder to deal with.

Do we want to make bugs with potential security impact harder to deal with? No. No, we really don't.

So I claim that the only reason for a security list is the non-public nature of the bug and the whole "responsible disclosure" argument.

But that argument is complete and utter garbage in the face of some mostly automated AI discovery (now, that argument is mostly a fiction in the first place, but I am not going to argue with people who have vested interest in making their special patches "security bugs").

To recap - I think this "document the scope of security bugs" is good, but I think we should go even further, and just document the fact that anything found by regular AI tools should just always go to public lists and is simply not special.

https://www.ithome.com/0/950/065.htm

值得注意的是,价格上涨不仅发生在新产品上,旧一代 GPU 同样受到影响。即使是 4 至 5 年前的产品,目前仍在持续升值。黄仁勋指出,旧 GPU 的涨价速度甚至超过好酒陈化速度,在市场中仍然具有强需求。

知情人士说,美国政府已批准阿里、腾讯、字节、京东等10家中国企业购买H200显卡,每家可买7.5万张。联想、富士康等获准为分销商。英伟达黄仁勋原不在随特朗普访华的企业家范围,以避免见习近平时因芯片限售而尴尬,但特朗普临时决定邀请,让他从阿拉斯加中途登机赴华。
习近平特朗普5月14日上午在人民大会堂会谈,决定将中美定位为“建设性战略稳定关系”。特朗普逐一向习近平介绍随访企业家。习近平说,昨天两国经贸团队达成了总体平衡积极的成果。台独与台海和平水火不容,维护台海和平稳定是中美双方最大公约数,美方务必慎之又慎处理台湾问题。

This is your reminder to set up a monthly donation for your favorite open-source software.

It doesn't really matter what. Could be the OS you're using right now, could be some application. If we all give a small donation to FreeCAD for example, they might turn into something like Blender today.

It doesn't have to be a lot too, but if you have some spare money, just do it!
It might feel useless but if you won't notice 10 dollars being gone from your bank account, just give it to them. you'll make a real difference

TIL
sysusers.d(5)
u! httpd 404 "HTTP User"

Type u may be suffixed with an "!" ("u!") to create a fully locked account. This is recommended, since logins should typically not be allowed for system users. With or without the exclamation mark an invalid password is set. For "u!", the account is also locked, which makes a difference for non-password forms of authentication, such as SSH or similar.

Added in version 257.
PyJWT is a JSON Web Token implementation in Python. Prior to 2.12.0, PyJWT does not validate the crit (Critical) Header Parameter defined in RFC 7515 §4.1.11. When a JWS token contains a crit array listing extensions that PyJWT does not understand, the library accepts the token instead of rejecting it. This violates the MUST requirement in the RFC. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.12.0.

#安全预警 NPM包 node-ipc 出现供应链攻击,请暂停安装。

ssh-keysign-pwn: Steal SSH host private keys and /etc/shadow via the ptrace_may_access mm-NULL bypass + pidfd_getfd. Pre-31e62c2ebbfd kernels.

With ssh-keysign-pwn, unprivileged users are able to read root-owned files. That affects all Linux kernel releases up through today's latest Linux Git state as of earlier today.

__ptrace_may_access() skips the dumpable check when task->mm == NULL. do_exit() runs exit_mm() before exit_files() — no mm, fds still there. pidfd_getfd(2) succeeds in that window when the caller's uid matches the target's.

Reported by Qualys and fixed by the mainline Linux kernel earlier today. This patch to adjust the kernel's ptrace behavior is what fixes the issue.

Jann Horn flagged the FD-theft shape in October 2020.

More details on ssh-keysign-pwn can be found via this GitHub repository.
