NIST turns to IT consultants to clear National Vulnerability Database backlog

🤔

"According to the agency's statement last week, it hopes to reach its pre-February processing rate of CVEs within the next few months. NIST predicted it should be caught up and back to processing current CVEs by the end of the fiscal year."

"To summarize this paper’s observations:
1. Women are more likely to have pull requests accepted than men.
2. Women continue to have high acceptance rates as they gain experience.
3. Women’s pull requests are less likely to serve an immediate project need.
4. Women’s changes are larger.
5. Women’s acceptance rates are higher across programming languages.
6. Women have lower acceptance rates as outsiders when they are identifiable as women."
wow. just wow.

@gamingonlinux many folks are quite confused about this :(

I just uploaded the slides from my talk at @everythingopen (EO2024) this morning:
https://embeddedor.com/slides/2024/eo/eo2024.pdf (pdf).

This is an update to my presentation of last year @KernelRecipes, titled "Gaining bounds-checking on trailing arrays in the upstream Linux kernel"

In this up-to-date version, I talk about some of the strategies I'm following to fix thousands of -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings, and enable this option in mainline.

I hope people find them useful. Thank you all. 🙂🐧👨🏽‍💻

Upgrading to Ubuntu Asahi 24.04 Noble Numbat is now running smoothly 🥳

See instructions on: https://github.com/UbuntuAsahi/ubuntu-asahi/issues/112#issuecomment-2082281936

With 24.04 we now include upstream's OpenGL 4.6 Mesa drivers and a 6.8 kernel.

Images to freshly install 24.04 are coming soon.

Many thanks to all the folks who helped smooth out the upgrade process over the last week on our irc server 🙏

Would it be possible to support Ubuntu 24.04 LTS?

Ubuntu and Android have had CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS for a while now. At my urging, Fedora has just enabled it recently, and now I've opened a PR for Debian:
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/merge_requests/1065
Enable UBSAN_BOUNDS and UBSAN_SHIFT (!1065) · Merge requests · Debian kernel team / linux · GitLab

Ubuntu and Android have had UBSAN_BOUNDS enabled for a couple years now, and Fedora has recently followed suit. UBSAN_SHIFT appears to have had all the corner cases shaken...
