Linus has
released 6.9-rc5 for testing.
But if you ignore those oddities, it all looks pretty normal and
things appear fairly calm. Which is just as well, since the first
part of the week I was on a quick trip to Seattle, and the second
part of the week I've been doing a passable imitation of the
Fontana di Trevi, except my medium is mucus.

Gregory Price recently posted
a patch set that adds support for weighted memory interleaving — allowing a
process's memory to be distributed between
non-uniform memory access (NUMA)
nodes in a more controlled way.
According to his performance measurements, the patch set could provide a
significant improvement for computers with network-attached memory.
The patch set also
introduces new system calls and paves the way for future extensions
intended to give processes more control over their own memory.

Gentoo Council member Michał Górny posted
an RFC to the gentoo-dev mailing
list in late February about banning "'AI'-backed (LLM/GPT/whatever)
contributions" to the Gentoo Linux project. Górny wrote that the spread of the
"AI bubble" indicated a need for Gentoo to formally take a stand on AI
tools. After a lengthy discussion, the Gentoo Council voted
unanimously this week to adopt his proposal and ban contributions generated with AI/ML tools.

Kernel developers, like conscientious developers for many projects, will
often include checks in the code for conditions that are never expected to
occur, but which would indicate a serious problem should that expectation
turn out to be incorrect. For years, developers have been encouraged (to
put it politely) to avoid using assertions that crash the machine for such
conditions unless there is truly no alternative. Increasingly, though, use
of the kernel's WARN_ON() family of macros, which developers were
told to use instead, is also being discouraged.

Managing to-do lists is something of a universal necessity. While some
people handle them mentally or on paper, others resort to a web-based tool or
a mobile
application. For those preferring the command line, the MIT-licensed
Taskwarrior offers a flexible solution
with a healthy community and lots of extensions.

The recent XZ backdoor has sparked a lot of discussion about how the open-source
community links and packages software. One possible
security improvement being discussed
is changing how
projects like systemd link to dynamic libraries that are only used for
optional functionality: using
dlopen() to load those libraries only
when required. This could
shrink the attack surface exposed by dependencies, but the approach is not
without downsides — most prominently, it makes discovering which dynamic
libraries a program depends on harder.
On April 11, Lennart Poettering proposed one way to eliminate that problem
in a systemd RFC on GitHub.

Fedora 40 Beta was released
on March 26, and the final release is nearing completion. So far,
the release is coming together nicely with major
updates for GNOME, KDE Plasma, and the usual cavalcade of
smaller updates and enhancements. As part of the release, the project also scuttled Delta
RPMs and OpenSSL 1.1.

Version
0.81 of the PuTTY SSH client is out with a fix for
CVE-2024-31497;
some users will want to update and generate new keys:
PuTTY 0.81, released today, fixes a critical vulnerability
CVE-2024-31497 in the use of 521-bit ECDSA keys
(ecdsa-sha2-nistp521). If you have used a 521-bit ECDSA private
key with any previous version of PuTTY, consider the private key
compromised: remove the public key from authorized_keys files, and
generate a new key pair.
However, this only affects that one algorithm and key size. No
other size of ECDSA key is affected, and no other key type is
affected.

The Open Source Security Foundation and the OpenJS Foundation have jointly
posted
a
warning about XZ-like social-engineering attacks after OpenJS was
seemingly targeted.
The OpenJS Foundation Cross Project Council received a suspicious
series of emails with similar messages, bearing different names and
overlapping GitHub-associated emails. These emails implored OpenJS
to take action to update one of its popular JavaScript projects to
"address any critical vulnerabilities," yet cited no specifics. The
email author(s) wanted OpenJS to designate them as a new maintainer
of the project despite having little prior involvement.

Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi has been working to add support for exceptions to BPF
since mid-2023. In July, Dwivedi posted
the first patch set in this effort, which adds support for basic stack unwinding.
In February 2024, he posted
the second patch set
aimed at letting the kernel release resources held by the BPF program when an
exception occurs. This makes exceptions usable in many more contexts.

The
6.9-rc4 kernel prepatch is out for
testing. "Nothing particularly unusual going on this week - some new hw
mitigations may stand out, but after a decade of this I can't really call
it 'unusual' any more, can I?"
