A couple things to think about here:
This appears to be a malicious maintainer - not a compromised account. Meaning the person themselves, coded this in an pushed it out.
So:
1) Did they try and backdoor any other code?
2) Are they part of a greater campaign or is anyone else helping them.
This is a massive breach of trust.
That said! Huge kudos to Andres Freund, Florian Weimer, and others in finding this.
A lot of eyes are on this now. CISA is involved. Major distros are involved, etc. Many eyes and such.
Urgent security alert for Fedora Linux 40 and Fedora Rawhide users

Dear #photographers & visual #artists running #Linux, what are your tricks for #colour -accurate #scanning photo prints on consumer-grade gear (not a film/drum scanner)?
I have 3+ #scanners, all with wildly different #color results, as you can see below. At least 2 of them can scan directly over LAN (in Simple Scan).
Ideally I'd want #colormanagement / calibration of scans, ideally with "Simple Scan" (otherwise, how do you do it with XSane?). I have a ColorMunki spectrophotometer, if it helps.
Is there concern for snaps or flatpaks? Checking my own stuff it looks like applications using bundled liblzma are running in the 5.2.* - 5.4.* versions, but if someone has a bleeding edge application running an affected version, what would the remediation be? Would uninstalling it be sufficient?

I just saw that Mozilla is retiring Mozilla Location Services which provided an open, crowdsourced alternative to proprietary location services from Google and other vendors. 😰
https://github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/issues/2065
This is used by GNOME and thus Fedora, Ubuntu, Endless OS, etc. to help provide OS-level location services without requiring every app to implement its own. And apparently a patent troll is part of the reason Mozilla stopped investing in it. 🙃

Anarch-cow certainly has a point
Certainly, it is already no longer possible, in my view, to call oneself an anarchist without adding a qualifying adjective to distinguish oneself from lifestyle anarchists. -- Murray Bookchin

Here's some cool news: libinput - the underlying input API for #Linux nowadays - will support dials on drawing tablets soon! 🎉 A lot of XP-PEN's Artist Pro series have these controls for example.
@whot pushed along the API I originally made about a year ago, many thanks 😮 This means that applications that use libinput can make use of these dials soon, like Wayland compositors. If you're technically inclined, you can see the completed MR here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/merge_requests/967

This is a lot of copy/paste from the ring axes because the interface is virtually identical. The main difference is that dials give us a v120 value in...GitLab

Demo Hype „Star Trucker“ [EN]
I play the demo of the space truck simulation „Star Trucker“ by Monster and Monster. The final game is about to be released somewhen in the year 2024 by Raw Fury.
The demo available for Windows only. I use Proton 8.0-5 to play it on Linux, no further tricks needed.
Whether the final release will have native versions for Linux or MacOS, I can't say at the moment.

This whole forced microsoft copilot thing is making me so mad. Been thinking for a while of having a second hard drive with a linux distro for my personal work that i can boot to, and keeping windows for external work stuff.
Not sure how to go about doing this, though, does anyone have any advice on this?
Also for distros i was thinking popOS since I recall @davidrevoy using it for his work. I have been using Kubuntu on a laptop and it works great, but I am open to suggestions. I mostly use Krita, Scribus and OpenOffice.
The Hell has just started melting.

Today is a wild one for open-source/Linux userswww.phoronix.com
But to be fair ...
Is it the implementation language being the main issue? Or is it the flexibility of extending it with plugins and that it is effectively a setuid tool, granting root access immediately when an unprivileged user starts the program (the privileges are reduced first when it has parsed the sudo config).
Sudo is a nice tool from the user's side. But security wise it's a disastrous approach. Privileges should first be elevated *after* the config has been parsed and the expected privilege level has been established. Then the tool should ideally jump to that privilege level directly.
This post introduces some new ideas ... https://tim.siosm.fr/blog/2023/12/19/ssh-over-unix-socket/
It's not a perfect approach in all cases. But it gets rid of the setuid issue.
sudo without a setuid binary or SSH over a UNIX socket
In this post, I will detail how to replace sudo (a setuid binary) by using SSH over a local UNIX socket. I am of the opinion that setuid/setgid binaries are a UNIX legacy that should be deprecated.Siosm's blog

Support-Ende von Windows 10 soll für gigantischen Müllberg sorgen
Am 14. Oktober 2025 wird der Support von Windows 10 eingestellt. Das könnte dazu führen, dass rund 240 Millionen PCs als Elektroschrott auf einer Mülldeponie landen, wie Analyseunternehmen Canalys befürchtet. Wären alles diese Geräte aufeinandergestapelte Laptops, wäre der Stapel in etwa 4.080 Kilometer hoch. Das sind rund 600 Kilometer mehr als der Durchmesser des Mondes.
