On my Linux Mint, I see updates about the Linux Kernel Headers 6 (as you can see on screenshot), but currently the machine is running the Kernel 7 (if I follow the command line result). ----- uname -a Linux 7.0.0-28-generic #28~24.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Jul 1 15:50:57 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ----- Am I wrong, confuse ? (I'm not a kernel expert as you can see 😅 😜 ) Thx for you light 😎 #linuxmint #linux #kernel #question

Yet another sane, well argued take on LLMs by the Linux peeps, this time @gregkh@social.kernel.org https://social.kernel.org/objects/c344af81-b288-42ab-a1c4-4d34111bdd16 Needed none of the usual drama seen in other places. #linux #kernel #foss #llm #aiassisted

#Linux #Kernel #AI Hier ist das Zitat von Linus Thorvalds Linux Kernel ist nicht Anti-KI, KI ist ein nützliches Werkzeug. Wem das nicht passt, der soll den Kernel forken oder einfach abhauen. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/CAHk-=wi4zC+Ze8e+p3tMv8TtG_80KzsZ1syL9anBtmEh5Z40vg@mail.gmail.com/

Rust just hit the TIOBE top 10 for the first time — and it's not just hype. The Linux kernel is pushing ~13 CVEs/day, and Greg Kroah-Hartman publicly defended adopting Rust in the kernel specifically for memory safety. Three recent LPEs (CopyFail, Dirty Frag, Fragnesia) were all discovered by AI-assisted tooling within weeks of each other. 50 years of C legacy vs. memory safety in practice. #rustlang #opensource #linux #kernel #infosec

#Trauer um #Kernel-Entwickler #Dan_Williams Die #Kernel-Community hat mit Dan Williams einen langjährigen Entwickler verloren. Williams verstarb jetzt unerwartet im Alter von 54 Jahren. Wer sich schon einmal mit persistentem Speicher unter #Linux beschäftigt hat, ist zwangsläufig über Williams Arbeit gestolpert: https://linuxnews.de/trauer-um-kernel-entwickler-dan-williams/

🚨 RefluXFS (CVE-2026-64600) has been identified as a notable vulnerability. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: resample the data fork mapping after cycling ILOCK RefluXFS is a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Linux kernel's XFS filesystem copy-on-write path. It allows local users to overwrite protected files and gain root access. ℹ️ Additional details on ZEN SecDB https://secdb.nttzen.cloud/updates/1d26eb14-ce27-4846-a8ce-bae087fb1e46/refluxfs-vulnerability #infosec #refluxfs #linux #kernel #xfs #lpe #nttdata #zen #secdb
