Next.js patches two critical RCE flaws—but version 15 may keep a vulnerable dependency
Next.js 16.4.1 and 15.5.28 fix two critical unauthenticated remote-code-execution flaws and a high-severity denial-of-service bug. Version 15 users should verify that `sharp` is updated too: the Next.js patch may leave an affected version installed.

KDE Plasma 6.8 ends X11 sessions, making Wayland the only option
KDE has released Plasma 6.8, ending native X11 desktop sessions and making Wayland the only supported session. The change, which KDE had flagged as planned for Plasma 6.8, doesn’t prevent X11 applications from running: they can still use XWayland.

Выпуск системы тестирования памяти Memtest86+ 9.0
Доступен выпуск программы для тестирования оперативной памяти Memtest86+ 9.0. Программа не привязана к операционным системам и может запускаться напрямую из прошивки BIOS/UEFI или из загрузчика для проведения полной проверки оперативной памяти. В случае выявления проблем построенная в Memtest86+ карта сбойных участков памяти может использоваться в ядре Linux для исключения проблемных областей при помощи опции memmap. Код проекта распространяется под лицензией GPLv2.

AWS Trust in Depth aims to give AI agents more autonomy safely
AWS is proposing “Trust in Depth,” a four-layer approach for letting AI agents handle more work without requiring people to approve every action. The framework combines defined permissions, agent identities, runtime controls, and activity records, with automated reasoning to verify rules that can be stated precisely.

Azure AD Graph API retirement: Upgrade old Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell versions
After October 6, 2026, Microsoft will start turning off the last Azure AD Graph API access that legacy Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell builds still depend on. Releases below Azure CLI 2.37.0 and Az.Resources module builds below 5.1.0 continue to hit the retired graph.windows.net endpoint and can break without warning while Microsoft rolls out a two-month phased shutdown. Supported current builds already target Microsoft Graph and stay unaffected. Here you will learn how to verify tool versions in scripts and automation, how to upgrade, what breaking changes to plan for, and how to handle code that still calls the legacy endpoint directly.

Microsoft Defender is now available on Linux desktops
Microsoft Defender is now available for Linux desktops. Shocked? In 2026, you shouldn’t be. Microsoft’s down with the penguins these days: there’s a Linux kernel in Windows, it owns GitHub and makes Edge for Linux (not that too many people use it). Why not some rootin’-tootin’, threat-detectin’ n’ virus-protectin’ software on top, eh? Name: Microsoft Defender for Linux. Age: Public preview. Appearance: A line item on an E5 invoice. What is it? Microsoft’s security suite, now available for Linux desktops (albeit in a public preview). Microsoft’s security suite. On Linux…. Keep up: Defender has been available for Linux servers since 2020, so desktops […]
