In the lead up to Flock we want to thank the sponsors who fund our annual contributor conference!

Red Hat is the foundational partner for the Fedora Project. We started through them and they have been stewards of Fedora Linux for over 20 years. We're grateful for Red Hat's contributions to Fedora specifically and open source at large!

Two information disclosure flaws have been identified in #apport and #systemd-coredump, the core dump handlers in #Ubuntu, #RedHat Enterprise #Linux, and #Fedora, according to the #Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU).

Tracked as CVE-2025-5054 and CVE-2025-4598, both #vulnerabilities are race condition bugs that could enable a local attacker to obtain access to access sensitive information. Tools like Apport and systemd-coredump are designed to handle crash reporting and core dumps in Linux systems.

The Hacker NewsNew Linux Flaws Allow Password Hash Theft via Core Dumps in Ubuntu, RHEL, FedoraLinux vulnerabilities CVE-2025-5054 and CVE-2025-4598 let local attackers extract sensitive data via SUID core dumps.

Is it just me or is it extremely painful to move from #Fedora to #RHEL #RedHat ? My script for setting up my dev environment keeps breaking because RHEL seems to not have packages for… anything… even stuff that Red Hat documentation seems to imply is standard? No Ruby, tmux, or docker packages…

#AlmaLinux10.0 Stable Released - Unlike #RHEL10, It Continues Supporting x86-64-v2 CPUs
While upstream #RedHat #EnterpriseLinux 10 raised their x86_64 baseline to the x86-64-v3 micro-architecture feature level, #AlmaLinux 10 has decided to continue offering x86-64-v2 support.

#RedHat #Ansible and #HashiCorp #Terraform Will Be Coming Together
While no hard plans were revealed at #RedHatSummit, it's clear Red Hat's #DevOps and HashiCorp's #IaC programs will end up working together.
After #IBM’s acquisition of HashiCorp was completed in February 2025, IBM was poised to deliver a tightly integrated, end-to-end automation setup for enterprises navigating increasingly complex cloud environments.
Terraform has 33.48% marketshare, Ansible, at 31.66%.

Red Hat are complicit in the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Please consider putting a bid down. You get a relatively rare collectible, and those making a difference to civilians get funding for their work.

Boosts appreciated.

AlmaLinux 10 follows RHEL 10!

Following the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, AlmaLinux have followed the lead by releasing the newer version based on that version of RHEL, called AlmaLinux 10 “Purple Lion.” It utilizes the infrastructure of Red Hat Enterprise Linux to give you a popular community Linux OS alternative. Now, AlmaLinux is more secure and powerful with the latest packages on the way.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 requires your processor to be at the x86_64-v3 baseline, but AlmaLinux 10 doesn’t seem to require this baseline. Those who have an old PC with at least an x86_64-v2 processor can use AlmaLinux 10.

AlmaLinux 10 is fully compatible with RHEL 10, which is good news. Additionally, ARM computers can now enjoy UEFI Secure Boot, which makes your computer more secure. You can still use SPICE in this version of AlmaLinux, despite RHEL 9 deprecating it.

For developers, you can now use AlmaLinux 10 with frame pointers to improve your software development experience, especially when it comes to application debugging and diagnosis. You can now profile the application performance in real time to find performance bottlenecks in any workload.

More devices have been supported in AlmaLinux 10, which went unsupported in RHEL 10. Anyone with such devices can now use this version of AlmaLinux to continue using those devices.

Are you excited for AlmaLinux 10? Download it now!

Why is a RedHat "Platform Engineering Leader & Senior Principal Software Engineer" using AI in the most facile way to ask me to do work out of nowhere?
