Cybercriminals are now leveraging AI-generated content on TikTok to spread malware and deceive users at scale. According to a recent report by GBHackers, attackers are using highly convincing deepfake-style videos—many of them created with generative AI—to promote fake apps, phishing links, and malicious downloads. The campaign is part of a growing trend where social media is weaponized to deliver advanced threats that traditional security tools often fail to detect.

This strategy is especially dangerous when combined with recent vulnerabilities in core systems. Just days ago, new Linux vulnerabilities capable of leaking password hashes and memory data were disclosed. Meanwhile, a critical zero-day in the Linux SMB module has made servers even more vulnerable to remote exploits. Even though the Linux-libre 6.15 kernel attempts to harden the platform by removing binary blobs, attackers are diversifying their methods. In fact, this isn’t the first time TikTok has been used as an attack vector—check out our earlier coverage of ClickFix-based malware spreading through TikTok videos.

A recently disclosed set of Linux kernel vulnerabilities has put system administrators and Linux users on high alert. As reported by The Hacker News, these flaws allow attackers to potentially leak sensitive data from kernel memory, including password hashes and encryption keys. This development follows closely after major updates in the Linux world—like the release of AlmaLinux OS 10—and comes amid rising concerns around other critical threats, such as the ongoing Chrome zero-day affecting Windows and Linux.

Smatch is a GPL-licensed static-analysis tool for C that has a lot of specialized checks for the kernel. Smatch has been used in the kernel for more than 20 years; Dan Carpenter, its primary author, decided last year that some details of its plugin system were due for a rewrite. He spoke at Linaro Connect 2025 about his work on Smatch, the changes to its implementation, and how those changes enabled him to easily add additional checks for locking bugs in the kernel.

The "Local Mess" GitHub repository is dedicated to the disclosure of an Android tracking exploit used by (at least) Meta and Yandex.

While there are subtle differences in the way Meta and Yandex bridge web and mobile contexts and identifiers, both of them essentially misuse the unvetted access to localhost sockets. The Android OS allows any installed app with the INTERNET permission to open a listening socket on the loopback interface (127.0.0.1). Browsers running on the same device also access this interface without user consent or platform mediation. This allows JavaScript embedded on web pages to communicate with native Android apps and share identifiers and browsing habits, bridging ephemeral web identifiers to long-lived mobile app IDs using standard Web APIs.

This backdoor, the use of which has evidently stopped since its disclosure, allow tracking of users across sites regardless of cookie policies or use of incognito browser modes.

Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (glibc, grafana, kernel-rt, libjpeg-turbo, libxslt, and thunderbird), Debian (curl), Fedora (dtk6core, dtk6gui, dtk6log, dtk6widget, fcitx5-qt, gammaray, kddockwidgets, kwin, LabPlot, libqtxdg, nheko, plasma-integration, python-pyqt6, python-pyside6, qt-creator, roundcubemail, zeal, and a large number of qt6 packages), Oracle (firefox, glibc, grafana, kernel, libxslt, perl-FCGI, python3.12-cryptography, thunderbird, and zlib), SUSE (glib2, libjxl, libsoup2, nbdkit, nodejs22, perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA, perl-YAML-LibYAML, python3, tomcat, and transfig), and Ubuntu (dotnet8, dotnet9 and samba).

This week we got lots of good news, starting with the release of the NVIDIA 575 graphics driver series, Firefox 139 web browser, and GNU Linux-libre 6.15 kernel, and continuing with many distro releases including Armbian 25.5, AlmaLinux OS 10, KaOS 2025.05, Alpine Linux 3.22, and PorteuX 2.1.

On top of that, I show you how to install Linux kernel 6.15 on Ubuntu and tell you all about what to expect from the Firefox 140 web browser.
