Trusting your own judgement on 'AI' is a huge risk: https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2025/trusting-your-own-judgement-on-ai/

I think this will be the day when we'll have The Talk with kiddo...

I'm only thinking about basic Git commands for linear version tracking, he'll learn about branching and merging as he gains some experience.

LinkedIn upped their cookie banner game so much I literally can't use the site anymore. This is probably the most useful feature update they did in the last 10 years!

Just set some of my recursors to DNS4EU, let's see how it performs!

[RSS] Spotting CVE-2025-23016 with Ghidra

https://medium.com/@cy1337/spotting-cve-2025-23016-with-ghidra-533a084dac42

We wrote a blog post about a Linux kernel vulnerability we reported to Red Hat in July 2024. The vulnerability had been fixed upstream a year before, but Red Hat and derivatives distributions didn't backport the patch. It was assigned the CVE-2023-52922 after we reported it.

The vulnerability is a use-after-free read. We could abuse it to leak the encoded freelist pointer of an object. This allows an attacker to craft an encoded freelist pointer that decodes to an arbitrary address.

It also allows an attacker to leak the addresses of objects from the kernel heap, defeating physmap/heap address randomization.These primitives facilitate exploitation of the system by providing the attacker with useful primitives.

Additionally, we highlighted a typical pattern in the subsystem, as two similar vulnerabilities had been discovered. However, before publishing the blog post, we noticed that the patch for this vulnerability doesn't fix it. We could still trigger the use-after-free issue.

This finding confirms the point raised by the blog post. Furthermore, we discovered another vulnerability in the subsystem. An out-of-bounds read. We've reported them, and these two new vulnerabilities were already patched. A new blog post about them will be written.

I don’t know who to credit for this, but it’s beautiful

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Zen quote of the day.

When you go to the lavatory, spend a longer time there than is necessary.

Communist Poland was exceptionally good at making fun of secret police and egomaniacal leaders.

If my American friends need some good authoritarian jokes so that they can keep their spirits up for the long run I can suggest some!

In case anyone here has connections with the Python team: can you please tell them to update their docs on XML security? The way it is is quite misleading, and it's been annoying me for a while. I raised this a while ago in their issue tracker, but it got no reaction whatsoever. https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/127502 🧵
