Security Advisory: Local privilege escalation in Lix and Nix
Summary Nix and Lix daemon implementations are affected by buffer overflows vulnerabilities that allow a local attacker to gain arbitrary code execution as the daemon user (root in multi-user installations). The vulnerabilities are identified as: Nix: GHSA-vh5x-56v6-4368, CVE ID pending attribution by MITRE. Lix: CVE ID pending attribution by MITRE. This is a coordinated disclosure between the Nix and Lix projects. Guix is NOT affected by this vulnerability. Am I affected? To exploit this ...
Sergei TrofimovichDid you know NixOS plans to cut a `26.05` release by the end of May? (schedule: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/503391)
Today release process entered Zero Hydra Failures phase (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/516381).
It's a great opportunity to contribute to `nixpkgs`. I tried squashing one `ZHF` failure today: https://trofi.github.io/posts/349-Zero-Hydra-Failures-towards-26.05-NixOS-release.html
Zitrone 🍋 
(new account, so new introduction post (so i can pin it))
Hiii,
I’m quantenzitrone [ˈkvantn̩t͡siˈtʁoːnə] or short Zitrone, a mostly male #human. If your native language has a word for Zitrone (Lemon) with the same roots as Zitrone (de), e.g. Citron (fr), Cytryna (pl) or Sitruuna (fi), you may also use that one.
I like computers, especially those running #GNUlinux especially #NixOS. I’m still setting up my #homeserver with NixOS. I maintain a few packages and nixos modules in #nixpkgs. I'd call myself a nixpkgs maintainer. No commit bit, tho. Yet.
I like #programming, especially in #rustlang, sometimes when programming in other languages I notice that they are in fact not Rust. Sometimes I complain about it on here.
I like playing board or card games and i like cycling. What else? IDK, life. Just the joy of being, thinking and feeling.
I may meow at you especially if you’re cute OR meow-at-able
I study computer science at @uniheidelberg
You may meet me in the #RaumZeitLabor or at the #GPN, #ChaosCommunicationCongress, #MRMCD, #NixCon or #LixCon. (TODO: try out and go to more events)
My favourite logic gate is XOR.
Benedikt Ritter (he/him)GitHub recently announced that starting with v2.91.0 GitHub CLI will start sending pseudonymized telemetry data back to GitHub.
https://github.blog/changelog/2026-04-22-github-cli-opt-out-usage-telemetry/
Since this is an opt-out feature, most users will have it activated without knowing it. This is unacceptable in my opinion. So I took the liberty of turning this into an opt-in, disabled by default for nixpkgs.
I did a thing...
(Oh my god I am so nervous posting this!)
It will also be on #youtube tomorrow.

Nixpkgs is drafting an AI policy and is looking for feedback on it https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/514587
CONTRIBUTING.md: establish initial automation/AI/LLM policy by emilazy · Pull Request #514587 · NixOS/nixpkgs
The Nixpkgs core team feels it is overdue to establish an official policy on the use of automation for Nixpkgs contributions. The Code of Conduct has a clause against “Wasting other people’s time w...
