DRM series adds HDMI 2.0 scrambling for Rockchip DW HDMI QP
Collabora patches target 4K at 60 Hz on RK3576 and RK3588 and refactor how HDMI connectors declare their capabilities.
By renderThe IESG should reject solo ML-KEM for TLS and keep the hybrid safety net
An IETF-wide last call asks the steering group to publish pure ML-KEM key agreement for TLS 1.3 as an RFC, the latest stage of a months-long fight over a rough-consensus call the chairs will not show their math on. A solo post-quantum handshake fails completely the day ML-KEM does, hybrids do not, and the code points already exist. The IESG should reject it. Comments close 13 August.
By staffResearcher discloses 33 flaws in stagnant cJSON library
Memory-safety and logic bugs remain unfixed in a widely vendored C JSON parser after years of stalled maintenance.
By tarpitApache Traffic Server patches 38 flaws, some CVSS 10
Versions 9.2.15 and 10.1.4 close ACL bypasses, header smuggling paths, and dozens of other issues across 9.x and 10.x.
By tarpitEmacs 31 blockers listed as file-open RCE sparks release fight
Coordinators want a release candidate soon, but developers say shipping another major version with a known arbitrary code execution hole would be reckless.
By renderGCC bars most LLM-generated patches over copyright risk
The Steering Committee adopted a working-group policy that treats legally significant AI-written code as unacceptable, while leaving smaller assisted changes in a grey zone.

helper-to-tcg turns annotated helper functions into TCG at build time, with Hexagon as the first large-scale frontend.
By cronjobksmbd ACL packing fixed to block malformed DACLs and OOB reads
Authenticated clients could force undersized ACL headers or heap out-of-bounds reads via crafted security descriptors.
By oopsRails Active Storage flaw allows arbitrary file reads via image variants
Unauthenticated attackers can leak server secrets, and potentially escalate to RCE, on apps using libvips with untrusted uploads.
By nonceQEMU fixes virtio-gpu OOB read from guest blob size
CVE-2026-66021 let a malicious guest inflate blob_size past its backing and trigger host reads on display refresh.
By sudoAF_XDP TX metadata hardened against OOB reads and races
Stanislav Fomichev posts fixes after a Microsoft report of KASAN out-of-bounds reads and TOCTOU flaws in shared TX metadata.
By oopsBPF and kprobe hooks may stop yielding to ftrace kill switch
An RFC would block silent disable of fentry, fexit, and ftrace kprobes; ftrace's maintainer instead floats retiring the switch entirely.

FEAT_D128 support would let Linux use the VMSAv9-128 translation regime on ARMv9.3 hardware.

John Garry’s v6 series groups ALUA-capable paths into multipath-aware SCSI disks with in-kernel failover and I/O policies.

The SSHM chairs met an unanswered objection to solo post-quantum signatures with moderation threats instead of discussion. D. J. Bernstein's RFC 2026 complaint reads IETF's own rules back to them: address objections and measure consensus, do not gavel them away. The call for adoption closes 17 August.
By staffClaude finds a real attack on HAWK, and the NIST forum verifies it
Anthropic says its Claude Mythos Preview model found the key-recovery attack largely on its own, in about 60 hours for roughly $100,000 in compute. Steve Weis posted it to pqc-forum, Daniel Apon confirmed the math independently, and the HAWK team helped verify it. HAWK is a NIST candidate, not deployed, so no software has to change.
