Security updates have been issued by Debian (firefox-esr, openjdk-11, openjdk-17, and wireless-regdb), Fedora (iputils, open-vm-tools, sfnt2woff-zopfli, and woff), Red Hat (postgresql:12), SUSE (apache2-mod_auth_openidc, brltty, helm, python-maturin, and rubygem-rack), and Ubuntu (linux-azure-fips).

Roland Shoemaker has published a blog post about a recent security audit of the cryptography packages shipped as part of the Go standard library. The audit, performed by the Trail of Bits security firm, uncovered one low-severity vulnerability in the legacy Go+BoringCrypto integration, as well as a handful of informational findings.

During the review, there were a number of questions about our cgo-based Go+BoringCrypto integration, which provides a FIPS 140-2 compliant cryptography mode for internal usage at Google. The Go+BoringCrypto code is not supported by the Go team for external use, but has been critical for Google's internal usage of Go.

The Trail of Bits team found one vulnerability and one non-security relevant bug, both of which were results of the manual memory management required to interact with a C library. Since the Go team does not support usage of this code outside of Google, we have chosen not to issue a CVE or Go vulnerability database entry for this issue, but we fixed it in the Go 1.25 development tree.

The entire report is available as a PDF for those who enjoy a little light security reading.

Appending text to files is a common task in systems administration and development, especially when dealing with large datasets or logs.

This can be efficiently accomplished using a Bash script, which is a powerful command-line shell in Unix-like operating systems, offering a range of utilities and operators to manipulate files, including the ability to append text.

In this article, we will walk you through the process of appending text to a single file and then expand that to appending text to multiple files using a Bash script, which is a useful skill when you need to automate text insertion in log files, configuration files, or scripts.

This blog post will show you how to install Node.js on AlmaLinux 10 OS version—the latest version of AlmaLinux. NodeJS is an open-source cross-platform JavaScript runtime compatible with multiple OSs, such as Windows, Unix, macOS, and Linux. We will stick with Linux, especially AlmaLinux 10. NodeJS offers a variety of features and lets developers use Java for command-line tools and server-side scripting. As we mentioned, it is compatible with JavaScript. It is good to note that Node.js, except for JavaScript, is also written in C, C++, and Python.

In the following paragraphs, we will show you two different ways of installing NodeJS on AlmaLinux 10. Every installation is straightforward and should not take more than 10 minutes. Let’s get things done!
