Greg Kroah-Hartman dropped a bombshell at RustWeek: a Rust-based proposal that might eliminate 80% of Linux kernel CVEs. This isn't just theoretical; it tackles C's fundamental weaknesses head-on.
248 patches landed in today's Linux stable kernel updates — a hefty batch fixing everything from USB flaws to networking glitches. But does this volume signal deeper issues, or just the kernel's relentless churn?
Patches from an AI fuzzer named 'Clanker' are already landing in the Linux kernel. Greg Kroah-Hartman isn't letting bots write code, though—he's making them hunt bugs first.
Kernel panics? Fixed. Linux 6.6.133 yanks a botched backport, saving devs from crashes on extended attribute ops. Here's why this tiny tweak keeps the open-source beast roaring.
