Red Hat Upgrades Its Pipeline-Securing (and Verification-Automating) Tools
Posted: 2024-04-20 16:34:00 Source: https://linux.slashdot.org/story/24/04/20/0424211/red-hat-upgrades-its-pipeline-securing-and-verification-automating-tools?utm_source=atom1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed
SiliconANGLE reports that to help organizations detect vulnerabilities earlier, Red Hat has "announced updates to its Trusted Software Supply Chain that enable organizations to shift security 'left' in the software supply chain." Red Hat announced Trusted Software Supply Chain in May 2023, pitching it as a way to address the rising threat of software supply chain attacks. The service secures software pipelines by verifying software origins, automating security processes and providing a secure catalog of verified open-source software packages. [Thursday's updates] are aimed at advancing the ability for customers to embed security into the software development life cycle, thereby increasing software integrity earlier in the supply chain while also adhering to industry regulations and compliance standards. They start with a new tool called Red Hat Trust Artifact Signer. Based on the open-source Sigstore project [founded at Red Hat and now part of the Open Source Security Foundation], Trust Artifact Signer allows developers to sign and verify software artifacts cryptographically without managing centralized keys, to enhance trust in the software supply chain. The second new release, Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer, provides a central source for security documentation such as Software Bill of Materials and Vulnerability Exploitability Exchange. The tool simplifies vulnerability management by enabling proactive identification and minimization of security threats. The final new release, Red Hat Trusted Application Pipeline, combines the capabilities of the Trusted Profile Analyzer and Trusted Artifact Signer with Red Hat's internal developer platform to provide integrated security-focused development templates. The feature aims to standardize and accelerate the adoption of secure development practices within organizations. Specifically, Red Hat's announcement says organizations can use their new Trust Application Pipeline feature "to verify pipeline compliance and provide traceability and auditability in the CI/CD process with an automated chain of trust that validates artifact signatures, and offers provenance and attestations."

openSUSE Factory Achieves Bit-By-Bit Reproducible Builds
Posted: 2024-04-20 10:00:00 Source: https://linux.slashdot.org/story/24/04/19/2148247/opensuse-factory-achieves-bit-by-bit-reproducible-builds?utm_source=atom1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed
Michael Larabel reports via Phoronix: While Fedora 41 in late 2024 is aiming to have more reproducible package builds, openSUSE Factory has already achieved a significant milestone in bit-by-bit reproducible builds. Since last month openSUSE Factory has been producing bit-by-bit reproducible builds sans the likes of embedded signatures. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed packages for that rolling-release distribution are being verified for bit-by-bit reproducible builds. SUSE/openSUSE is still verifying all packages are yielding reproducible builds but so far it's looking like 95% or more of packages are working out. You can learn more via the openSUSE blog.

BrianFagioli shares a report from BetaNews: Mozilla has announced Firefox Nightly for ARM64. This release will cater to the growing demand for support on ARM64 platforms, commonly referred to as AArch64. Feedback from the community has led Mozilla to expand the availability of Firefox Nightly. Users can now access the browser as both .tar archives and .deb packages, depending on their preference and requirements for installation. For those who favor traditional methods, the .tar.bz2 binaries are accessible through Mozilla's downloads page by selecting the option for Firefox Nightly for Linux ARM64/AArch64. Meanwhile, users looking to utilize updates and installation through Mozilla's APT repository can follow specific instructions to install the firefox-nightly package.

Linus Torvalds on 'Hilarious' AI Hype
Posted: 2024-04-19 20:05:00 Source: https://linux.slashdot.org/story/24/04/19/1944235/linus-torvalds-on-hilarious-ai-hype?utm_source=atom1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed
Linus Torvalds, discussing the AI hype, in a conversation with Dirk Hohndel, Verizon's Head of the Open Source Program Office: Torvalds snarked, "It's hilarious to watch. Maybe I'll be replaced by an AI model!" As for Hohndel, he thinks most AI today is "autocorrect on steroids." Torvalds summed up his attitude as, "Let's wait 10 years and see where it actually goes before we make all these crazy announcements." That's not to say the two men don't think AI will be helpful in the future. Indeed, Torvalds noted one good side effect already: "NVIDIA has gotten better at talking to Linux kernel developers and working with Linux memory management," because of its need for Linux to run AI's large language models (LLMs) efficiently. Torvalds is also "looking forward to the tools actually to find bugs. We have a lot of tools, and we use them religiously, but making the tools smarter is not a bad thing. Using smarter tools is just the next inevitable step. We have tools that do kernel rewriting, with very complicated scripts, and pattern recognition. AI can be a huge help here because some of these tools are very hard to use because you have to specify things at a low enough level." Just be careful, Torvalds warns of "AI BS." Hohndel quickly quipped, "He meant beautiful science. You know, "Beautiful science in, beautiful science out."

Rebuilding and Modifying Debian Packages
Posted: 2024-04-18 16:00:00 Source: https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/rebuilding-and-modifying-debian-packages
Introduction
The Debian packaging system is an integral part of managing software on Debian and its derivatives like Ubuntu. It facilitates the installation, upgrade, and removal of software packages. Sometimes, however, the available binary packages may not meet all the specific requirements of a user or organization, be it due to the need for a patched version, additional features, or customization for performance optimizations. This article delves deep into the process of rebuilding and modifying existing Debian packages, offering a guide for those who need to tailor software packages to their precise requirements.
Understanding Debian Packages
Debian packages, with the .deb file extension, are archives that contain compiled binaries, configuration files, and installation scripts. Understanding the internal structure of these packages is critical. A typical .deb package includes:
- DEBIAN directory: Holds control files that manage how the package is installed, upgraded, or removed.
- data archive: Contains the actual files of the package.
- control: Details package dependencies and metadata like version, maintainer, and description.
- changelog: Records all the changes made to the package.
- rules: Specifies how the package is to be built from its source.
- dpkg: The base tool that handles package installation and removal.
- APT (Advanced Package Tool): Works at a higher level to handle the retrieval and installation of packages from remote repositories.
- dpkg-dev: A collection of tools necessary to build Debian packages.
Why Modify a Debian Package?
Customizing software can optimize operational efficiency, enhance security, and add or modify features to suit better the unique environment in which they operate. Typical reasons for modifying packages include:
- Customization: Adjusting software to fit specific local policies or performance requirements.
- Security patches: Quickly applying security patches that are not yet part of official releases.
- Functional updates: Adding features not available in the standard package.
Preparing the Environment
Installing Necessary ToolsBefore beginning, ensure your system has the tools required for Debian package development installed:
sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev devscripts build-essential fakeroot
