A map of ARPANET back in 1977. It was the first large-scale computer network, connecting institutions like MIT & Stanford. The system was a predecessor to the Internet. v/The Computer History Museum

So is this like an enterprise product where customers get fixes before the community?
Today, we're launching @LiteLLM Private Registry With AI agents, public security patches can give attackers a blueprint to exploit vulnerabilities. For the most severe vulnerabilities, LiteLLM Private Registry gives organizations time to upgrade before we publish public patches

If you are going to Fosdem you should join the CentOS team there. If you are not going, you should.
The CFP, registraion, and room block are all available for CentOS Connect, happening January 28-29 before FOSDEM. Join us in Brussels and show us what you've been working on. centos.org/events/connect/ #CentOS #CentOSConnect

Well, we seem to have our work cut out here. What's a good way to collect names of hosters who still have it turned off ? I would be happy to start a dialog, see if there is anything to be done about it.
Do you use a hosting company? What is their SELinux policy ?
34%default On : Enforcing
47%default Off : permissive

‼️ Attackers are exploiting a critical Fortinet FortiSIEM flaw that lets them run code without logging in, Canada's Cyber Centre says. Horizon3 released an exploit for CVE-2026-106173 on Oct 20. Version 7.5.1 fixes it. Fortinet still lists the flaw as not known to be exploited.

Fantastic to see this in the BBC site. Ultimately, open source and the Linux ecosystem exists purely because of the great people in it. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cw30…

The PHP security team is advising everyone to set this config until the next patch: session.upload_progress.enabled=0 I’ll be cutting a release shortly where serversideup/php will do this for you by default ⚡️ php.net/archive/2026.php#202…

What
🚨 CONFIRMED: PHP has officially acknowledged another RCE vulnerability, CVE-2026-115560, affecting specific session configurations even after the October 21 patches. A separate issue, not a bypass of the original fixes. A patch is planned. We've updated our defensive toolkit: github.com/syhunt/php2shell-… #php #cybersecurity
