I've just released #fwupd 2.1.4 -- which is our first post-Mythos-scan version. We knew the scan was coming and spent a lot of long days and evenings preparing for it -- as you can see from the release notes.
In that time we've been doing a lot of manual security code review, and also asking our friends Claude and Gwen for help too.
We've fixed all the Mythos-reported issues, and you should update to this version ASAP.
Dell, Lenovo ja HP liittyivät toukokuun aikana Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS) -sponsoreiksi, mikä suomeksi tarkoittaa että jatkossa ko. valmistajien kannettaville pitäisi BIOS/UEFI-päivitykset onnistua myös Linux-käyttäjiltä. Tämä on merkittävä parannus nykytilaan verrattuna. #Dell #Lenovo #HP #Linux #fwupd
💻 Dell, Lenovo and HP boost their Linux stance 👍
After Dell and Lenovo announced the sponsorship of the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS) as being premier sponsors ($100k+ yearly) HP is also now a premier sponsor.
LVFS is an open-source firmware updating mechanism for hardware vendors to upload firmware updates to then be accessed by Linux users via tools like FWUPD.
