On the other hand, Massive floods have occurred multiple times in Earth’s history, some of which are significant geological events that have shaped the landscape and influenced the course of life on Earth. Examples…

  • Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache InLong (29-05-2025)

    Preface: Apache InLong can be a valuable component in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) workflows, particularly in the data engineering and streaming data pipeline stages. Background: Apache InLong is a one-stop massive data integration framework that provides automatic, secure, reliable and high-performance data transmission capabilities. It also supports batch and streaming, making it…

  • CVE-2025-23247: NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the cuobjdump binary (28-5-2025)

    Preface: ROCm open source software platform is AMD’s core strategy. This platform supports deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch 2.0 and TensorFlow. Nvidia’s CUDA cores are indispensable for training and deploying neural networks and deep learning models, taking advantage of their parallel processing capabilities. To put that into perspective, a dozen Nvidia H100 GPUs can…

  • CVE-2025-37992: About NULL pointer dereference in net_sched (27-05-2025)

    Preface: Linux powers large parts of the Internet, cloud infrastructure, and supercomputers. But it is difficult to determine the exact number of Linux systems in the world. This appears to be a technology trend that includes AI system infrastructure. Background: In Linux, a “qdisc” stands for queueing discipline. It’s a core component of the Linux…

  • When artificial intelligence encounters a geomagnetic storm (26-05-2025)

    Preface: About fifteen years ago, extreme climate sounded the alarm for humanity. But we haven’t woken up yet. As we enter 2025, extreme weather is raging. Are we awake now? Background: A coronal mass ejection (CME) can induce a geomagnetic storm when it interacts with Earth’s magnetosphere. CMEs are large clouds of plasma and magnetic…

  • Point of view – IOLeak – CPU Side Channel Attacks  23-05-2025

    Preface: Hertzbleedis about inferring secrets from timing differencescaused by how CPUs adjust their frequency under load. Background: The Hertzbleed vulnerability does not specifically target the L2 cache of AMD CPUs. Instead, it exploits a broader mechanism related to dynamic frequency scaling — a feature used by modern CPUs (including AMD Zen 2 and Zen 3)…

  • CVE-2025-27558: FragAttacks against mesh networks (21-05-2025)

    Preface: A Mesh Basic Service Set (MBSS) is a self-contained wireless network created by a group of interconnected mesh stations (STAs). Each mesh station can act as both an access point and a mesh node, enabling communication and data sharing within the mesh network. The MBSS uses a “mesh profile” to define the network’s characteristics,…

  • CVE-2025-37991 – PA-RISC: Fix double SIGFPE crash (21-05-2025)

    Preface: In the Linux Kernel, SIGFPE (Signal Floating-Point Exception) indicates a computational error, specifically related to floating-point arithmetic or integer arithmetic errors. This signal is triggered by events like floating-point overflow, underflow, or division by zero. While named “Floating-Point Exception,” it actually covers a broader range of arithmetic errors. Background: What triggers SIGFPE? How it…
