USN-3903-2: Linux kernel (HWE) vulnerabilities linux-hwe, linux-azure vulnerabilities A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Summary Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description linux-azure – Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems linux-hwe – Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel Details USN-3903-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 18.10. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 18.10 for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Jason Wang discovered that the vhost net driver in the Linux kernel contained an out of bounds write vulnerability. An attacker in a guest virtual machine could use this to cause a denial of service (host system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code in the host kernel. (CVE-2018-16880) Jann Horn discovered that the userfaultd implementation in the Linux kernel [ more… ]

Data, insights and listening to improve the customer experience

2019-03-07 KENNETH 0

Data, insights and listening to improve the customer experience Measuring the quality of Windows is a complex undertaking that requires gathering a variety of diagnostic signals from millions of devices within the Windows ecosystem. The insights we derive from these signals are essential to our understanding of whether our customers, starting with our Insiders and progressing to the general population of Windows users, are successfully using our products and services. In addition to all the internal testing that we do, we rely heavily on the feedback provided through diagnostic data to detect and fix problems before we release new updates of Windows to the general population, and to monitor the impact of those updates after each release. In this installment of our quality blog series, Jane Liles and Rob Mauceri from the Windows Data Science team share some of the [ more… ]

Announcing the Open Sourcing of Windows Calculator

2019-03-07 KENNETH 0

Announcing the Open Sourcing of Windows Calculator Today, we’re excited to announce that we are open sourcing Windows Calculator on GitHub under the MIT License. This includes the source code, build system, unit tests, and product roadmap. Our goal is to build an even better user experience in partnership with the community. We are encouraging your fresh perspectives and increased participation to help define the future of Calculator. As developers, if you would like to know how different parts of the Calculator app work, easily integrate Calculator logic or UI into your own applications, or contribute directly to something that ships in Windows, now you can. Calculator will continue to go through all usual testing, compliance, security, quality processes, and Insider flighting, just as we do for our other applications. You can learn more about these details in our documentation [ more… ]
