Inside this week's LWN.net Weekly Edition:

• Front: Debian project leader election; 6.15 Merge window; Lots of LSFMM coverage; Joplin.
• Briefs: Firefox hardening; OpenSSH 10.0; Supply chain security; FreeDOS 1.4; OpenSSL 3.5.0; Rust 1.86.0; Quotes; ...
• Announcements: Newsletters, conferences, security updates, patches, and more.

Tom Schuster, Frederik Braun, and Christoph Kerschbaumer have published an article on the Firefox Security team's Attack & Defense blog that explains recent work to harden Firefox's frontend code.

We have rewritten over 600 JavaScript event handlers to mitigate XSS and other injection attacks in the main Firefox user interface. This mitigation will ship in Firefox 138. However, blocking the execution of scripts in the parent process is not the end - we will expand this technique to other contexts in the near future. There is still more work to do as the UI requires JavaScript APIs with a high level of privileges. However: We still eliminated a whole class of attacks, significantly raising the bar for attackers to exploit Firefox.
