The memfd interface is a bit of a strange and Linux-specific beast; it was
initially
created to support the secure
passing of data between cooperating processes on a single system. It has
since gained other roles, but it may still come as a surprise to some to
learn that memory regions created for memfds, unlike almost any other data
area, have the execute permission bit set. That can facilitate attacks;
this
patch set from Jeff Xu proposes an addition to the memfd API to close
that hole.

Version 4.0.0 of the Apache SpamAssassin spam filter has been released.
Apache SpamAssassin 4.0.0 contains numerous tweaks and bug fixes over
the past releases. In particular, it includes major changes that
significantly improve the handling of text in international language.
As with any major release, there are countless functional patches and
improvements to upgrade to 4.0.0. Apache SpamAssassin 4.0.0 includes
several years of fixes that significantly improve classification and
performance. It has been thoroughly tested in production systems. We
strongly recommend upgrading as soon as possible.

Version
5.0.0 of the OCaml programming language is out.
The highlight of this new major version of OCaml is the
long-awaited runtime support for shared memory parallelism and
effect handlers. This multicore support is the culmination of more
than 8 years of effort, and required a full rewrite of the OCaml
runtime environment. Consequently, OCaml 5.0.0 is expected to be a
more experimental version of OCaml than the usual OCaml releases.

Shadow stacks are one of the methods employed to enforce
control-flow
integrity and thwart attackers; they are a mechanism for fine-grained,
backward-edge protection. Most of the time, applications are not even
aware that shadow stacks are in use. As is so often the case, though, life
gets more complicated when the
Checkpoint/Restore in Userspace
(CRIU) mechanism is in use. Not breaking CRIU turns out to be one of the
big challenges facing developers working to get user-space shadow-stack
support into the kernel.

Version 4.18 of
the Xfce desktop environment has been released.
Since Xfce 4.16 a lot
of major development happened. Our team added multiple nice new features,

all that is going to be released for your pleasure.
See the announcement for a long list of new features.

Once upon a time, Linus Torvalds would try to set a pace of about 1,000
changesets pulled into the mainline each day during the early part of the
merge window. For 6.2, though, the situation is different; no less than
9,278 non-merge changesets were pulled during the first two days. Needless
to say, these commits affect the kernel in numerous ways, even though there
are fewer fundamental changes than were seen in 6.1.

Ted Ts'o, in collaboration with the Linux Foundation Technical Advisory
Board, has put together a document called the
Linux kernel
contribution maturity model to help companies improve their
participation in the kernel development process.
The goal is to encourage, in a management-friendly way, companies
to allow their engineers to contribute with the upstream Linux
Kernel development community, so we can grow the "talent pipeline"
for contributors to become respected leaders, and eventually kernel
maintainers.

A report from the
syzbot
kernel fuzz-testing robot does not usually spawn a
vitriolic mailing-list thread, but that is just what happened recently.
While the invective is regrettable, the underlying issue is important. The
dispute revolves around how best to report bugs
to affected subsystems and, ultimately, how not to waste maintainers' time.

Everything Open is,
seemingly, the future form of the conference once known as linux.conf.au;
see
this
page for a discussion of the reasoning behind the change. The
inaugural event will be held March 14 to 16 in Melbourne,
Australia, and the
call for
proposals has gone out now, with a deadline of January 15.
"Our aim is to create a deeply technical conference where we bring
together industry leaders and experts on a wide range of subjects."

Version
108 of the Firefox browser has been released. The headline feature
this time around appears to be the enabling of

the
Web MIDI API and the usual set of security fixes.
