OpenSSH 10.5 has just been released, mostly to fix a handful of security vulnerabilities.
https://www.openssh.org/releasenotes.html#10.5
We plan to move to a more frequent release schedule for as long as this season of LLM-found bugs lasts. More details in the release notes.
High level diff of macOS 26.6.1 vs. macOS 26.6.2 🎉

The postmortem of the hack on my Forgejo instance is here! I had fun investigating and writing it, so I hope y’all enjoy reading about it :)
this program was generated with LLVM assistance
"don't you mean LLM assistance?"
no, i mean i implemented a few examples and left the rest as UB for the compiler to figure out https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/hd5Mhdhev
Somebody posted a Windows 11 LPE writeup, with a CVE that doesn't yet exist (CVE-2026-62737).
By poking at kloader's ExecutionContext, we can get kernel mode execution at an arbitrary address.
A stock Windows VM won't have a NIC that uses the NetAdapterCx framework, so will not show as affected. But you can start that service to see it in action.
The PoC has a hard-coded 0xFFFFF80041414141 as an execution target. I'm sure that somebody knowledgeable with Windows kernel stuff can figure out how to modify this to do something useful.
I predict that CVE-2026-62737 will be included in this Patch Tuesday lineup.
Since Metabase couldn't be bothered, it looks like CISA has assigned CVEs.

come on now. be cool guys.
On Saturday night, one of our CT logs rejected most submissions for 30 minutes.
I just published the post-mortem, and the investigation was... a lot of fun? It involves Go mutex starvation, SQLite WAL behavior, and ZFS record sizes.
I got to SIGKILL a VM 200 times, implement a turnstile (TIL!), and order a Nokia flip phone.
Beatboxing is one of countless very good example why AI will never be able to replace actual art.
Most (if not all) sounds a beatboxer makes can technically be made by a synthesizer. The arrangement can be the same too.
Yet millions and millions of people enjoy beatboxing a lot more, specifically BECAUSE it comes from humans.
I think this principle can be applied to most forms of art.
So I don't think there's too much need to worry.
