Security review of Plasma Login Manager (SUSE Security Team Blog)
SUSE's Security Team has published a detailed blog post on their recent review of the Plasma Login Manager version 6.6.2, which was forked from the SDDM display manager.
While most of the code remains the same, the new upstream added a privileged D-Bus helper called plasmaloginauthhelper, which suffers from defense-in-depth security issues.
[...] Based on the high severity of the defense-in-depth issues shown in this report, our assessment is that there is effectively no separation between root and the plasmalogin service user account.
At this time there is no bugfix available by upstream, but a security fix is planned for the next Plasma release on May 12. We have not been involved in upstream's bugfix process so far and have no knowledge about the approach that will be taken to address the issues from this report.

Remembering Seth Nickell
LWN has received the sad news that Seth Nickell passed away, on April 16, from his father, Eric Nickell:
Many of you knew Seth from his work in the GNOME Usability Project, but his roots in that community trace back to his high school years. As a father of a high school junior, I remember being terrified when he flashed the hard drive of a computer he purchased for himself with this weird "Linux" thing. And I was a bit awed by the college application essay he wrote about open source and Linus Torvalds.
It was his interest in packet radio that drew him into working with the Linux AX.25 HOWTO as a high schooler, and from there to his focus on making the Linux desktop work for everyone.
The family plans to share news of a memorial at a later time. He will be deeply missed.

Fedora Linux 44 has been released
The Fedora Project has announced the release of Fedora Linux 44. There are "what's new" articles for Fedora Workstation, Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop, and Fedora Atomic Desktops. The Fedora Asahi Remix for Apple Silicon Macs, based on Fedora 44, is also available. See the Fedora Spins page for a full list of alternative desktop options.
Fedora Linux 44 Workstation ships with the latest GNOME release, GNOME 50. This comes with a long list of refinements to your desktop, including everything from accessibility to color management and remote desktop. Many of the applications that are installed by default on Fedora Workstation have also seen improvements, from Document Viewer to File Manager and Calendar. To learn more about these and other changes, you can read the GNOME 50 release notes.
KDE Plasma Desktop: If you are a KDE user, you should also notice a couple of very obvious changes. Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop 44 is based on the latest Plasma 6.6, which includes the new Plasma Login Manager and Plasma Setup to provide a more cohesive and integrated experience from the moment the computer is powered on for the first time. The installation process has been simplified, enabling you to easily set up Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop for a computer for a friend or a loved one.
The release notes include important changes between Fedora 43 and Fedora 44 for desktop users, developers, and system administrators.
