Intel Racing Toward The Finish Line For Stable Meteor Lake Graphics With Linux 6.7
While one month ago a Linux kernel patch was floated for advertising Meteor Lake graphics support by default to effectively mark it as stable and remove it from behind the “i915.force_probe” block, that has yet to be queued for the mainline kernel. Today another set of patches were submitted of new Intel kernel graphics driver changes slated for Linux 6.7 with this patch still missing — but it might squeeze in next week to still make it for the v6.7 cycle…

[$] Remote execution in the GNOME tracker
While the vulnerability itself is pretty run-of-the-mill, the recently disclosed
GNOME vulnerability has a number of interesting facets. The problem lies
in a library that reads files in a fairly obscure format, but it turns out
that files in that format are routinely—automatically—processed by GNOME if
they are downloaded to the local system. That turns a vulnerability in a
largely unknown library into a one-click remote-code-execution flaw for
the GNOME desktop.
