And so much more:

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 couldnât 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 SzĂĄsz, 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...

đ¨ Letâs Encrypt at risk from Trump cuts to OTF: âLetâs Encrypt received around $800,000 in funding from the OTFâ
Dear @EUCommission, get your heads out of your arses and letâs find @letsencrypt âŹ1M/year (a rounding error in EU finances) and have them move to the EU.
If Letâs Encrypt is fucked, the web is fucked, and the Small Web is fucked too. So how about we donât let that happen, yeah?
(In the meanwhile, if the Letâs 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 timeâŚ)

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?"

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?
