A ProVerif study and eight critical CVEs collide with the draft author's rebuttal that the flaws are implementation bugs, and the argument detours into who is answering with AI.
By staffKrzysztof Kozlowski says he may ignore further submissions after an LG G8x series repeated work already on the linux-media list and failed basic style checks.
By kexecThe candidate closes out-of-bounds writes and size overflows in EDID parsing, XVideo, synthetic input, and resource queries.
By renderA proposed conversion change would move default numeric results, and some CPU complex32 fills would return infinity instead of raising.
By tensorCPU and other compiled fusion kernels cannot sit in an FX graph today, so the fx_wrapper path fails outside Triton.
By tensorA bpf-next series lets programs restamp hash, VLAN and checksum status so redirected packets stop losing GRO and checksum offload.
By oopsShuai Xue's frame-pointer work would let RISC-V apply kernel fixes without a reboot, and it now includes fixes for traces that have been wrong since Linux 6.8.
By oopsOn v0.31.0 a member changing a database password can run shell commands as root in the container that holds the host Docker socket.
By noncePrograms could wait on a queue they build themselves, and spawn kernel threads for reclaim and network work they scale and place.
By oopsCleartext refresh secrets, non-expiring long-lived tokens, and backup restore behavior leave durable access even when users change passwords.
By tarpitA Meta rework of a Linus Torvalds idea would let many CPUs copy the same cached file pages without bouncing folio reference counts.
By oopsXin Long's v18 net-next work brings RFC 9000 into the kernel for user space and in-kernel clients such as NFS and SMB.
By oopsNew TermInterface-based limits and integration libraries outperform parts of Symbolics.jl, then ignite a broader argument about stalled reviews and vibe-coded contributions.
By segfaultNine null-deref, out-of-bounds, and unvalidated-geometry flaws in dirty-log replay turn a crafted volume into a kernel crash at mount time.
By kexecThe KDE file manager can again show a folder path as a row of columns, with shipping in the next release hanging on early user feedback.
By renderAlexei Starovoitov’s bpf-next work tracks related registers via static expressions, fixing compiler-shaped false rejects and cutting verifier state.
By kexecMathieu Desnoyers’s series stops over-admission, lockups, and three kernel crashes in the deadline scheduler, and ships the first dedicated selftests.
