mrspoonsi shares a report: Dirty Frag is a vulnerability class, first discovered and reported by Hyunwoo Kim (@v4bel), that can obtain root privileges on major Linux distributions by chaining the xfrm-ESP Page-Cache Write vulnerability and the RxRPC Page-Cache Write vulnerability. Dirty Frag extends the bug class to which Dirty Pipe and Copy Fail belong. Because it is a deterministic logic bug that does not depend on a timing window, no race condition is required, the kernel does not panic when the exploit.

Два месяца назад openLight был маленьким pet project’ом: Raspberry Pi, Telegram-бот, SQLite и несколько команд для управления сервисами. Мне просто хотелось перестать печатать ssh pi@raspberrypi.local с телефона каждый раз, когда падал очередной контейнер или начинал странно вести себя Tailscale.За это время проект неожиданно превратился во что-то большее. Не в “автономного AI-агента”, а скорее в легковесный слой управления для personal infrastructure — маленьких always-on машин вроде Raspberry Pi, Mac mini Read more ›

A protein called HSL, long believed to simply release stored fat when the body needs energy, turns out to have a second job deep inside the nucleus of fat cells—helping keep those cells healthy and balanced.
