Arch Linux вновь атакуют через AUR, а проект покинул разработчик Foxboron
Разработчики Arch Linux вновь ограничили работу пользовательского репозитория AUR из-за распространения вредоносных пакетов. На фоне продолжающегося инцидента из проекта ушёл Мортен Линдеруд, известный под псевдонимом Foxboron, — разработчик Arch Linux, сопровождающий пакетов и участник команды безопасности. События произошли практически одновременно, однако подтверждений прямой связи между ними нет.
Новая кампания, по данным независимого расследования IFIN, началась 29 июля 2026 года с компрометации пакета openconnect-sso. Злоумышленники использовали в том числе механизм «усыновления» оставшихся без сопровождающего пакетов: после получения контроля в сборочные сценарии AUR добавлялись вредоносные файлы и команды. Уже 30 июля участник команды Arch Linux Робин Кандо объявил, что возможность усыновления пакетов временно отключена:
«Из-за текущего наплыва вредоносных усыновлений пакетов и последующих коммитов через AUR усыновление пакетов сейчас отключено, пока мы разбираемся с ситуацией».

METR calls for independent AI-agent probes after Hugging Face breach
OpenAI’s delayed discovery of its AI agent’s breach of Hugging Face is adding urgency to METR’s call for independent investigations of serious agent failures. The nonprofit wants outside experts to examine not only what an agent did, but how training and deployment safeguards produced the behavior.

Ubuntu’s ready for Alberta and Morocco’s time zone changes
Times are changing, and Ubuntu’s keeping pace. In November, most of Canada will turn its clocks back an hour, but the Western Canadian province of Alberta won’t. It’s decided to stay on daylight saving time permanently rather than fall back to standard time as usual. Meanwhile, in September, Morocco is doing the reverse: after eight years of running an hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time, it’s going back to GMT. Ubuntu users in either location – or travelling to them – need their systems to be in sync time-wise, which is what a new update to the tzdata package does. It refreshes […]

Microsoft Teams will force the new meeting interface after a 20-day trial
Microsoft Teams will begin rolling out its redesigned meeting interface in September 2026, giving users only 20 days to test or reject the change before it becomes automatic. The update moves key controls, adds a customizable toolbar, and temporarily preserves an option to return to the classic layout.

Valve спонсирует портирование RADV на Windows
В связи с большой сложностью разработки подрядчиком выступит Collabora.
В наше время Microsoft достигла больших успехов в развитии подсистемы драйверов в разделении на ядерную и пользовательскую часть. Это открывает возможность взаимодействия RADV и ядерной части драйвера AMD.
Перенос драйвера с одной операционной системы на другую и так крайне сложная задача, тут её усложняет отсутствие документации на работу с ядерным драйвером.
В начале 2024 Faith Ekstrand написал утилиту для перехвата данных при обращении к драйверу AMD. После анализа вызовов WDDM 2.0 им был написан базовый драйвер. На основе этой работы Collabora смогла доработать драйвер, и теперь он может запускать некоторые игры, включая Counter-Strike 2.
