#fwupd — Public Fediverse posts

أصدرت دبيان الإصدار 13.6، وهو تحديث نقطي جديد لسلسلة دبيان 13، يركز بشكل أساسي على تصحيحات الأمان وإصلاحات الأخطاء الحرجة. يتضمن التحديث ترقية لـ 'fwupd' بدعم جديد لـ Secure Boot CA و KEK و DBX استجابةً لانتهاء صلاحية الشهادات. كما يعود حزمة 'geoip-database' إلى إصدار 2019 بسبب مشكلات الترخيص، مما قد يؤثر على دقة بيانات تحديد الموقع الجغرافي.

🛠️🔌 fwupd 2.1.6 a fost lansat! Gestionare mult mai sigură și stabilă a actualizărilor de firmware pe Linux 💻⚡Proiectul open-source fwupd — utilitarul de bază folosit în Linux pentru actualizarea automată și sigură a firmware-ului componentelor hardware (de la BIOS/UEFI, la SSD-uri, mouși, tastaturi și hub-uri USB) — a primit o nouă actualizare majoră: versiunea 2.1.6. Această iterație se concentrează pe rafinarea motorului intern de detecție și pe eliminarea unor erori ce puteau bloca procesul de scriere a codului pe dispozitivele conectate.Iată principalele îmbunătățiri introduse în fwupd 2.1.6:🔹 Gestionare îmbunătățită a erorilor la scriere:Actualizarea aduce un plus de siguranță în momentele critice ale rescrierii firmware-ului. Procesul este acum capabil să intercepteze mult mai precis micro-întreruperile de comunicare cu dispozitivul sau instabilitățile de tensiune de pe magistralele USB, prevenind eșecurile catastrofale care ar putea lăsa un periferic nefuncțional (starea de brick).🔹 Suport extins pentru hardware modern:Fwupd 2.1.6 extinde baza de date cu noi profile de identificare (GUID-uri) pentru o gamă largă de componente de ultimă generație lansate de producători mari precum Dell, Lenovo, HP sau Intel. De asemenea, a fost optimizată interacțiunea cu dispozitivele ce folosesc protocoale speciale de stocare de tip NVMe și Thunderbolt.🔹 Optimizări pentru daemon-ul de fundal și interfețe grafice:Consum redus de resurse: Serviciul de fundal (fwupd.service) scanează acum magistralele sistemului într-un mod mai eficient, reducând numărul de treziri ale procesorului (CPU wakeups) atunci când calculatorul se află pe baterie.Integrare mai curată cu magazinele de aplicații: S-au rezolvat problemele de sincronizare din cauza cărora manageri grafici precum GNOME Software sau KDE Discover raportau uneori eronat succesul sau eșecul unei actualizări de firmware încapsulate în capsule UEFI.Prin parteneriatul extins cu serviciul LVFS (Linux Vendor Firmware Service), fwupd continuă să fie un pilon indispensabil pentru securitatea ecosistemului Linux, permițând utilizatorilor să își păstreze sistemele protejate împotriva vulnerabilităților hardware fără a părăsi sistemul de operare. Versiunea 2.1.6 va fi integrată rapid în depozitele marilor distribuții Linux în perioada următoare.#fwupd #fwupd216 #LVFS #FirmwareUpdate #LinuxHardware #BIOS #OpenSource #TechNews

I've just tagged a new 2.1.6 #fwupd release almost a month since the last 2.1.x release. Lots of highlights at https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/releases/tag/2.1.6 and earnest testing very welcome.

In about a week I'm going to tag 2.1.7 (to collect all the post-release snags) and then push that release into RHEL 10, RHEL 9 and (gasp) RHEL 8 too.

I've tagged #fwupd 2.0.21 which backports fixes for over 250 potential security issues found using various AI security scanners over the last 3 months.

The 2.1.x releases include even more fixes and hardening work, and so most users should use those instead; this release is provided for the more conservative distros.

I've just released #fwupd 2.1.4 -- which is our first post-Mythos-scan version. We knew the scan was coming and spent a lot of long days and evenings preparing for it -- as you can see from the release notes.

In that time we've been doing a lot of manual security code review, and also asking our friends Claude and Gwen for help too.

We've fixed all the Mythos-reported issues, and you should update to this version ASAP.

You should be very wary of cheerleading any "great new Linux developments" fronted by major corporate sponsors in today's environment.

💻 Dell, Lenovo and HP boost their Linux stance 👍

After Dell and Lenovo announced the sponsorship of the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS) as being premier sponsors ($100k+ yearly) HP is also now a premier sponsor.

LVFS is an open-source firmware updating mechanism for hardware vendors to upload firmware updates to then be accessed by Linux users via tools like FWUPD.

There's nothing amazing here, but a few highlights are the progress bar is now buttery-smooth (moving from integer percentage to double precision) and that you now don't need to load all the crypto libs if you're just using libfwupd in your app.

There are a couple of regressions fixed too, so be sure to upgrade when your distro provides the update.
