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.
Once AI has advanced further, no one will want these “physical” actors who perform more or less well in films with questionable scripts.

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.

Submission + - Vladimir Putin is now afraid (telegraph.co.uk)

fjo3 writes: The scaling down of the May 9 Victory Day parade in Red Square is extraordinary, so much so that it demands serious attention. What was once a massive display of military power now appears reduced to something closer to a token event.

This, remember, is meant to honour the sacrifice of some 26 million Russians during what they call the Great Patriotic War, known elsewhere as the Second World War. To cut it back so dramatically – reportedly due to an inability to defend Moscow from Ukrainian attack – is not just embarrassing; it is strategically revealing. For Vladimir Putin, it raises uncomfortable questions.

This is, in part, because when Putin reintroduced military hardware to the parade in 2008, he framed it as a clear signal of strength: a warning to adversaries that Russia could defend itself. He was explicit: this was not sabre-rattling, but proof of growing capability. That claim now rings hollow.
