Ars technica looks at a a recent report on the Ebury root kit, with a focus on the 2011 compromise of kernel.org, which may have been more extensive than believed at the time.

In 2014, ESET researchers said the 2011 attack likely infected kernel.org servers with a second piece of malware they called Ebury. The malware, the firm said, came in the form of a malicious code library that, when installed, created a backdoor in OpenSSH that provided the attackers with a remote root shell on infected hosts with no valid password required. In a little less than 22 months, starting in August 2011, Ebury spread to 25,000 servers. Besides the four belonging to the Linux Kernel Organization, the infection also touched one or more servers inside hosting facilities and an unnamed domain registrar and web hosting provider.

Version 126.0 of the Firefox browser is out. Changes include improvements to the "copy link without site tracking" feature, support for zstd compression, and a new tracking "feature": "Telemetry was added to create an aggregate count of searches by category to broadly inform search feature development."

The advent of the folio structure to describe groups of pages has been one of the most fundamental transformations within the kernel in recent years. Since the folio transition affects many subsystems, it is fitting that the subject was covered at the beginning of the 2024 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit in a joint session of the storage, filesystem, and memory-management tracks. Matthew Wilcox used the session to review the work that has been done in this area and to discuss what comes next.

Security updates have been issued by Mageia (sssd and tcpdump), Red Hat (.NET 7.0, .NET 8.0, expat, kernel, and kernel-rt), Slackware (mozilla), SUSE (kernel, postgresql15, postgresql16, python-arcomplete, python-Fabric, python-PyGithub, python- antlr4-python3-runtime, python-avro, python-chardet, python-distro, python- docker, python-fakeredis, python-fixedint, pyth, and python3), and Ubuntu (linux-bluefield).

Version 24.0 of the Arch-based Manjaro distribution is now available with the 6.9 kernel, GNOME 46, Xfce 4.18, and an update to the Pamac package installer. This is also the project's first release with KDE Plasma 6:

The Plasma edition comes with the latest Plasma 6.0 series and KDE Gear 24.02. It brings exciting new improvements to your desktop.

With Plasma 6, KDE's technology stack has undergone major upgrades: a transition to the latest version of application framework, Qt, and an improved graphics platform when Wayland is used. These changes are as smooth and unnoticeable to the users as possible. You will see the same familiar desktop environment that you know and love. But these under-the-hood upgrades benefit Plasma's security, efficiency, and performance, and improve support for modern hardware. Thus Plasma delivers an overall more reliable user experience, while paving the way for many more improvements in the future.

The project also offers minimal install images with the 6.6 LTS and 6.1 LTS kernels to support older hardware.

Large language models (LLMs) have been the subject of much discussion and scrutiny recently. Of particular interest to open-source enthusiasts are the problems with running LLMs on one's own hardware — especially when doing so requires NVIDIA's proprietary CUDA toolkit, which remains unavailable in many environments. Mozilla has developed llamafile as a potential solution to these problems. Llamafile can compile LLM weights into portable, native executables for easy integration, archival, or distribution. These executables can take advantage of supported GPUs when present, but do not require them.

Security updates have been issued by Debian (glib2.0 and shim), Fedora (glib2, gnome-shell, tcpdump, tpm2-tools, tpm2-tss, and uriparser), Mageia (mutt), Oracle (git-lfs, glibc, kernel, kernel-container, nodejs:18, nodejs:20, and pcp), SUSE (apache2, opensc, openssl-1_1, openssl-3, perl, python-Pillow, python-pyOpenSSL, python-Werkzeug, SUSE Manager Client Tools Beta, tpm2-0-tss, and tpm2.0-tools), and Ubuntu (sqlparse and strongswan).
