Coldcard devices used predictable RNGs, and apparently this has consequences. ๐
I'm pleased to announce a new release of the #idalib #Rust bindings for @HexRaysSA IDA Pro! This release adds compatibility with latest SDK (v9.4), and a couple of bug fixes. Thanks to @raptor and @yegor for their contributions.

Yet another attack against the Arch User Repository is underway. We are monitoring and analyzing the malware samples.

Somehow, we have ended up in a universe where companies brag about deploying multibillion dollar software systems with an objective to break decades old IT security legislation, and nobody holds their executives to account.

My present to all of you: Go ahead and think a bit about why such a key even exists. Go ahead...
AI: Considerations for people who make decisions. There is enormous pressure to deploy AI, and if you believe the LinkedIn thought leadership, you'd think that if you don't get on board NOW you'll be lost forever. Meanwhile other people severely detest AI, so much so that it damages their (worthwhile) arguments against it. Below, thoughts on what to do now, and what things might best be postponed. Finally, some stimulating words on what we actually DO at the office: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/ai-for-decision-makers/
Reproduced the LPE in 1h 56m on Linux 6.12.96 LTS.
Also managed to get root on Pixel 10 with the latest 2026-07-05 security update.
It was originally submitted by another researcher to Google KernelCTF as exp527 and should qualify for a $101,337 bounty.

Fun engineering challenge if anyone has ideas:
The DisplayPort auxiliary channel appears to reuse opcodes for request and completion packets, and uses generally the same framing. This means that, to a first order, if you have a single packet, or a capture that starts in the middle of a long burst of transactions and don't know if you are at an even or odd packet boundary, it is not trivially possible to unambiguously decode the traffic.
Is there a heuristic that you can apply to the first few packets in a capture to determine which one is a request vs a completion and correctly phase the capture?

No KASLR, no kernel heap NX -- ain't difficult target, heh. I don't have an access to latest 11.4 SRU to check if it was fixed by Oracle on current version, but on 11.3 SRU 36 it still there
