  1. Two information disclosure flaws have been identified in #apport and #systemd-coredump, the core dump handlers in #Ubuntu, #RedHat Enterprise #Linux, and #Fedora, according to the #Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU).

    Tracked as CVE-2025-5054 and CVE-2025-4598, both #vulnerabilities are race condition bugs that could enable a local attacker to obtain access to access sensitive information. Tools like Apport and systemd-coredump are designed to handle crash reporting and core dumps in Linux systems.

  2. Found some #incompatibility between #lightdm and #w3m . Curiously this apparently begun after I started accessing #gemini (but I cannot prove it; perhaps it's just a coincidence?). Anyway, cleaned /var/crash and reinstalled everything including #apport. Let's see what happens on the next reboot...

  3. Except for #Apport is there anything else I should lookout for when it comes to #privacy issues in #Xubuntu 18.04? Sites like distrochooser.de claim that any #Ubuntu flavour is contacting third parties but I cannot find anything to back that up...
