Submission + - New "Dirty Frag" Linux Kernel Vulnerability Could Lead to Root Escalation

hcs_$reboot writes: Linux administrators had barely caught their breath from Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) which was patched just days ago when researcher Hyunwoo Kim (@v4bel) dropped another one.
The disclosure went public on May 8, 2026, after a third party broke the coordinated embargo, forcing Kim to release the full exploit before any distribution had issued a patch. There are currently no CVE identifiers and no fixes for any affected distribution.

In the 19th century, photography was seen as "mechanical" not true art (like paintings).
Synthesized music, CGI... all initially rejected.
But AI is somewhat different in that it directly threatens the income of the entire film industry.

Submission + - Trump Tears Up Part Of EU Tariff Deal To Raise Import Duties On Cars And Lorries

hcs_$reboot writes: Trump has unilaterally raised U.S. tariffs on EU cars and trucks from 15% to 25%, effectively tearing up part of a 2025 transatlantic trade deal, claiming the EU failed to implement it fast enough.
The move blindsided European officials, who say they were still completing the formal ratification process and accuse Washington of acting unpredictably.
The higher tariffs, set to take effect within days, exempt vehicles built in U.S. factories and are intended to pressure European automakers to shift production stateside.
EU leaders have condemned the decision as a breach of trust and are weighing retaliation, raising the risk of a renewed transatlantic trade conflict.
