Listen up Mastodonians, because this is important:

Right now we have a unique chance to rise up and hit back against Zuckerberg and Musk. Because italian filmmaker @_elena and her friends have made an OUTSTANDING short film, which explains why people should quit the fascist social networks and come join us in the fediverse.

Hit the fascists where it hurts — make this go viral by watching it and liking it on YouTube, then hit the share button and share it everywhere!

CVE-2025-3464

CVE-2025-1533

https://github.com/ubuntu/authd/security/advisories/GHSA-g8qw-mgjx-rwjr

When a user who hasn't logged in to the system before (i.e. doesn't exist in the authd user database) logs in via SSH, the user is considered a member of the root group in the context of the SSH session. That leads to a local privilege escalation if the user should not have root privileges.

It's great to have everything-as-code because of reproducibility, etc., except now the cloud infra you are targeting can and will randomly fail in unpredictable ways.

GIMP Heap Overflow Re-Discovery and Exploitation (CVE-2025–6035) by @craigtweets

Another #Rust adventure for the weekend:

Signed/unsigned (two's complement) command-line integer converter based on num_bigint:

Designing the interface was surprisingly tricky, no wonder most online converters aren't great...

I also tried to do a diff on CLFS.sys to track down CVE-2025-32713 but #Ghidra fails to decompile multiple functions so the output is not as clean as I wished it to be:

This #PatchTuesday sparked no joy :(

Unfortunately this #PatchTuesday introduced another Lua script to Defenders signature DB that breaks loadlibrary even with trivial scan targets :( I started to track the issue in my fork:

https://github.com/v-p-b/loadlibrary/issues/2

The good news is I fixed the cert store so Authenticode with PCA 2024 will work. and you should still be able to experiment with e.g. the unpackers by disabling the Lua VM, as described here:

[RSS] CVE-2025-26685 - Spoofing to Elevate Privileges with Microsoft Defender for Identity

https://www.netspi.com/blog/technical-blog/network-pentesting/microsoft-defender-for-identity-spoofing-cve-2025-26685/

A lot of companies seem to misunderstand the role of pay in hiring and retaining smart people. In my first year at Microsoft Research I listened to a (normally sensible) member of the lab’s leadership team explain that the bonus structure was there to incentivise good research. I looked around the room and wondered who had ever thought ‘well, I was going to do some mediocre research, but for 20% more money this year I will do something world leading!’ My guess: no one.

If you want to hire the best people, you are looking for the people who, if money didn’t matter, would do the job for free because they believe it’s important and care about the outcome. You don’t pay them well to persuade them to work. You pay them well so that they can afford to work on the things that they think are important. If smart people don’t think the things you’re doing are important then you should consider why you’re doing them.

This is especially true for executive compensation. The best CEOs are ones that care about the company’s products and want everyone to use them, not the ones that want to make the most money. This is especially true for non profits where your pool should start with people who care a lot about the organisation’s mission. Paying more (above a certain level) won’t find more of those people it will simply dilute the pool with people who are there for the money, not the mission.

EDIT: A lot of people seem to be misunderstanding this and think this is an argument to pay people badly. It absolutely isn't. If you pay people badly, they will spend a lot if time thinking about money. Your job as a manager is to remove problems. Money removes a lot of problems. But a lot of problems cannot be removed by applying money. If someone competent is being told to do nonsense work that they know will cause problems in the long run, no amount of money will make them motivated. The problems that can be solved with money are the easy ones.
