📰 x86 Kernel Shadow Stacks Being Worked On For Linux As Powerful Control Flow Protection

Linux user-space for several years had shadow stack support for hardware-enforced control-flow enforcement in defending against return oriented programming (ROP) attacks. Intel Tigerlake and newer CPUs or AMD Zen 3 and newer have the necessary hardware shadow stacks support. Shadow stacks have been effective for helping user-space software fend ROP attacks while now there is new work toward bringing shadow stack support for kernel space on Linux.

📰 Edge AI on the Raspberry Pi 5 made me realize this SBC can replace cloud models for half my projects

When you think about locally-deployed AI models, bulky servers armed with cutting-edge graphics cards are probably the first things that come to mind. And considering how much computational power bulky LLMs need, you wouldn’t be far off the mark. But having tinkered with all sorts of wacky experiments over the past year, I’ve realized that heavy LLMs with dozens of billions of parameters aren’t the only AI models that can meet my productivity...

📰 Researchers Demonstrate Node2Shell RCE Exploit on Node.js Build Using Crafted Brotli Data

Malicious Brotli data can make an application on an official build of Node.js run attacker-supplied code, security researchers at Imperva have demonstrated.Their "Node2Shell" proof of concept ran code on the official Node.js 24.22.0 image for Linux arm64, with no debugger or custom build, by feeding crafted data to the bundled Brotli decoder (CVE-2026-111497). Node.js disclosed the flaw.
