At the recently concluded Maintainers Summit, it was generally agreed that the Rust experiment would continue, and that the path was clear for more Rust code to enter the kernel. But the high-level view taken at such gatherings cannot always account for the difficult details that will inevitably arise as the Rust work proceeds. A recent discussion on the nouveau mailing list may have escaped the notice of many, but it highlights some of the problems that will have to be worked out as important functionality written in Rust heads toward the mainline. |

Mozilla has released Firefox versions 131.0.2, ESR 128.3.1, and ESR 115.16.1. These updates address a severe, remotely exploitable code-execution vulnerability that is evidently already being exploited. Updating to a fixed release seems like a wise thing to do. |

Greg Kroah-Hartman has announced the release of the 6.11.3, 6.10.14, 6.6.55, and 6.6.56 stable kernels. The 6.6.56 release fixes a problem with building perf in 6.6.55; "If you do not use the perf tool in the 6.6.y tree, there is no need to upgrade.". Meanwhile, 6.10.14 is the last of the 6.10.y series, so users should now be moving to 6.11.y. Other than 6.6.56, they contain the usual long list of important fixes throughout the kernel tree. |
