The Linux kernel is the core component of any Linux operating system, managing hardware resources and system processes.

Kernel 6.12.17 brings important updates, security patches, and performance improvements that can enhance system stability and compatibility with newer hardware.

Kernel 6.12.17 highlights:

• Full PREEMPT_RT support: After two decades of development, this kernel introduces full support for PREEMPT_RT, providing enhanced real-time performance.
• EEVDF scheduler implementation: The kernel now includes the Enhanced Even Load Balancing Fairness (EEVDF) scheduler, which optimizes task distribution across multiple processors.
• BPF-based task scheduling algorithms: It is now possible to write custom task scheduling algorithms using BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter), providing flexibility and performance improvements.
• DRM panic messages with QR codes: In the case of a critical error, the kernel can display a QR code on the panic screen, making it easier to diagnose the issue.
• Zero-copy support for TCP reception: The kernel now allows direct transfer of TCP payloads into a DMABUF memory region, reducing memory usage and improving performance.
• New security modules for binary integrity: Security modules have been introduced to ensure that binary files come from protected storage environments, enhancing system security.
• Memory Protection Keys support for ARM architecture: The kernel adds support for Memory Protection Keys (MPK) on ARM architecture, providing finer control over memory permissions.
• Extended support for XFS file systems: Improved support for XFS, allowing the use of block sizes larger than the memory page size.

In this guide we will be installing Kernel 6.12.17, which has been released a while go.

On February 25, the Python Software Foundation (PSF), which runs the Python Package Index (PyPI), announced new terms of service (ToS) for the repository. That has led to some questions about the new ToS, and the process of coming up with them. For one thing, the previous terms of use for the service were shorter and simpler, but there are other concerns with specific wording in the new agreement.

Damien Neil has written an article for the Go Blog about path traversal vulnerabilities and the os.Root API added in Go 1.24 to help prevent them.

Root permits relative path components and symlinks that do not escape the root. For example, root.Open("a/../b") is permitted. Filenames are resolved using the semantics of the local platform: On Unix systems, this will follow any symlink in "a" (so long as that link does not escape the root); while on Windows systems this will open "b" (even if "a" does not exist).

The Zig project has announced the release of the 0.14 version of the language, including changes from more than 250 contributors. Zig is a low-level, memory-unsafe programming language that aims to compete with C instead of depending on it. Even though the language has not yet had a stable release, there are a number of projects using it as an alternative to C with better metaprogramming. While the project's release schedule has been a bit inconsistent, with the release of version 0.14 being delayed several times, the release contains a number of new convenience features, broader architecture support, and the next steps toward removing Zig's dependency on LLVM.

The SUSE Security Team blog has a post with a detailed analysis of a vulnerability (CVE-2025-27591) in the below tool for recording and displaying system data.

In January 2025, Below was packaged and submitted to openSUSE Tumbleweed. Below runs as a systemd service with root privileges. The SUSE security team monitors additions and changes to systemd service unit files in openSUSE Tumbleweed, and through this we noticed problematic log directory permissions applied in Below's code.
