Copy Fail - уязвимость в ядре Linux, позволяющая получить root в большинстве дистрибутивов

Исследователи из компании Xint выявили в ядре Linux уязвимость (CVE-2026-31431), позволяющую непривилегированному пользователю получить root-доступ к системе. Проблеме присвоено кодовое имя Copy Fail. Доступен прототип эксплоита. Возможность эксплуатации уязвимости продемонстрирована в Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Amazon Linux 2023, RHEL 10.1 и SUSE 16, но отмечается, что пакеты с ядром из других дистрибутивов, включая Debian, Arch, Fedora, Rocky и Alma, тоже подвержены проблеме, но их отдельно не тестировали.

Notepad++ теперь доступен на macOS как нативное приложение

Notepad++ теперь доступен как нативное приложение для macOS. Это бесплатный редактор исходного кода с открытым исходным кодом, который может заменить стандартный текстовый редактор Notepad. Notepad++ поддерживает множество языков программирования и отлично подходит для обработки текстовых данных в целом. Для его использования не требуется никаких дополнительных инструментов вроде Wine, Porting Kit или средств эмуляции. Это полноценное нативное приложение, разработанное с соблюдением условий лицензии GNU.
Благодаря мощному инструменту для редактирования текста Scintilla, программа Notepad++ для Mac написана на языке Objective C++. Для обеспечения высокой скорости выполнения и минимальных размеров программы используются нативные API данной платформы.
Разработка проекта началась 10 марта 2026 года. Программа распространяется в формате универсального бинарного файла, подписанного сертификатом Apple Developer ID и утвержденного Apple. Программа работает как на устройствах на базе процессоров Apple Silicon (M1–M5), так и на компьютерах с процессорами Intel. В программе отсутствует функция сбора данных, реклама и любые другие элементы, связанные с передачей информации третей стороне.
Механизм управление плагинами (равно как и они сами) поддерживается в версии Notepad++ для macOS.

Windows Server 2025 in-place upgrade via Windows Update: prerequisites, steps, and limits

Starting in mid-April 2026, Microsoft allows you to upgrade Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022 directly to Windows Server 2025 through Windows Update — no installation media (ISO file or DVD) required. The process is called an in-place upgrade, meaning your installed applications, settings, and server roles remain unchanged while only the operating system version changes. This article covers the prerequisites, the exact registry change you need to make, the step-by-step procedure for both the graphical desktop and the text-only Server Core installation, and the important cases where you must not use this method.
