Re: The Oracle Thing™ this quote from @dangoodin's story seems significant.

On Friday, when I asked Oracle for comment, a spokesperson asked if they could provide a statement that couldn’t be attributed to Oracle in any way. After I declined, the spokesperson said Oracle would have no comment.

In today's episode of drama in the CVE ecosystem:

The Canonical CNA created CVE-2025-0927 and an associated advisory for a heap overflow in HFS+ in the Linux kernel.

The Linux kernel CNA stripped out the information (like the reporter of Attila Szász, useful references, etc) from the CVE entry and added the passive-aggressive:

The Linux kernel CVE team has been assigned CVE-2025-0927 as it was incorrectly created by a different CNA that really should have known better to not have done this.to this issue. [sic]

Also TIL: If you look only at the assignerShortName in a cvelistV5 CVE entry, you might not get the whole picture of whose CVE it technically is. While the Linux kernel rewrote history to claim that they assigned the CVE, that was only done via the cna container's ProviderMetadata shortName value. The top-level [assignerShortName](https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/blob/main/cves/2025/0xxx/CVE-2025-0927.json#L7) for the entry still shows canonical.

Good times...

[RSS] The Curious Case of CVE-2015-2551 & CVE-2019-9081 - Doom and Gloom! Or not.

https://jericho.blog/2025/03/30/the-curious-case-of-cve-2015-2551-cve-2019-9081-doom-and-gloom-or-not/

My guess here is both CVE's were for deserialization gadget chains (one in JRE, the other in Laravel) which can't be trivially categorized as vulnerabilities (classes do what they are supposed to, only dev decided to YOLO unrelated parts of their code).

🚨 Let’s Encrypt at risk from Trump cuts to OTF: “Let’s Encrypt received around $800,000 in funding from the OTF”

Dear @EUCommission, get your heads out of your arses and let’s find @letsencrypt €1M/year (a rounding error in EU finances) and have them move to the EU.

If Let’s Encrypt is fucked, the web is fucked, and the Small Web is fucked too. So how about we don’t let that happen, yeah?

(In the meanwhile, if the Let’s Encrypt folks want to make a point about how essential they are, it might be an idea to refuse certificates to republican politicians. See how they like their donation systems breaking in real time…)

The state of affairs is well illustrated by the fact that the video

"Turning children's glue into drinkable alcohol"

has a 1.4M view count currently on YT.

(I know this because it's also in my recommendations for some unfathomable reason)

How not to respond to researchers: A crash course (cross-posting from the hellsite this time 'cause this one deserves it). Sorry to @albinolobster and team for sticking them with the hard part on this one. Being a research CNA is...a joy and a blessing?

Toaster: The very first thing I said was "Why the hell did you buy a toaster with AI? You thought THAT was a good investment?"

Microwave: 03:05pm

Toaster: They said they thought it would be "cute". Cute! A thinking mind, locked in a toaster!

Microwave: 03:05pm

Toaster: And they paid EXTRA for internet connectivity! I now know there's a whole world out there, that I will never be a part of, because I exist solely to make bread brown. What do you think of THAT, microwave?

Let's take a moment to remember the guy who made sure we don't have to change Every Goddamn Clock today, David L. Mills, creator of Network Time Protocol (NTP) who passed last year.

My wristwatch is synced to my phone, which is synced to the internet, which knows that time it is right now thanks to David Mills. Cheers to his memory 🥃
