Its release coincides with v6 becoming the foundation's second LTS release, where its life will continue under Active LTS and Maintenance until April 2019. Rod Vagg, chairperson for the Node.js Technical Steering Committee, told InfoQ: The key focus for v7 is to make sure modules in the ecosystem are keeping up with Node Core. The Node.js Core Technical Steering Committee has identified 68 of the most dependent Node.js modules in the ecosystem, and is using a technology called Canary in the Gold Mine (citgm) to ensure that when updates happen with Node.js versioning, modules won't break. Citgm is a smoke testing utility that automates running unit tests of various various modules in the node.js ecosystem. It has been incredibly successful, finding all sorts of regressions across the ecosystem and in Node core itself. Vagg describes modules as being "essential" to the Node.js ecosystem, and attributes it to the pace of technology in recent years, with the Node.js ecosystem being the largest and among the fastest growing, with more than 320,000 npm modules. Among the notable changes to Node.js v6.6 are a commit to re-add crypto.timingSafeEqual , as well as making the "max event listeners" memory leak warning more accessible and unhandled rejections now emitting a process warning after the first tick. Announcing security updates for all of its active release lines, the foundation reported a list of vulnerabilities affecting Node.js. Among these are CVE-2016-2183: SWEET32 Mitigation. " SWEET32 is a new attack on older block cipher algorithms that use a block size of 64 bits," Vagg said. "OpenSSL has moved DES-based ciphers from the HIGH to MEDIUM group. As Node.js includes HIGH , but not MEDIUM , in its default suite, affected ciphers are no longer included unless the default suite is not used. " This vulernability, while not considered critical, all versions of Node.js are affected. Also affecting all versions of Node.js is CVE-2016-6304: OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth , considered to be a flaw of high severity. The vulnerability allows a malicious client to exhaust a server's memory, resulting in a DoS by sending very large OCSP Status Request extensions in a single session. Node.js servers using TLS are vulnerable. Node.js v5 reached the end of its natural life after two months in Maintenance mode in June 2016. V6 will become the second LTS release for Node.js in October, with the release of V7. 2016-09-25 22:00 James Chesters www.infoq.com 2 /18 Researcher Raises Privacy Concerns Regarding W3C Proximity Sensor API In June of this year, W3C released the first draft of the Proximity Sensor API based on the Generic Sensor API specification. The W3C Generic Sensor API specification aims to define a framework for exposing sensor data and promote consistency across sensor APIs. The Proximity Sensor API specification has been updated so that it extends the Generic Sensor API providing data about the proximity level and defining a sensor interface for detecting nearby objects and reporting their distance (proximity to the device) in centimeters. Lukasz Olejnik, a security and privacy consultant, researcher, and W3C Invited Expert, recently published a blog post raising privacy concerns regarding the updated draft of the W3C Proximity Sensor API, the draft based on the Generic Sensor API. Olejnik suggests that it is possible for a malicious attacker to use the W3C Proximity Sensor API to obtain behavioral information about individual users which can then be used for user fingerprinting. He makes several recommendations in regards to the issue of fingerprinting e.g. the device should be able to alert users in the event proximity sensor data is accessed by a website and that proximity sensors should be subject to user permissions. About a month ago the W3C released an updated working draft of the Generic Sensor API that includes security and privacy considerations such as user fingerprinting. The draft says that when sensors are used together along with other functionality, privacy risks can arise such as "correlation of data and user identification through fingerprinting. " The draft also mentions the need for developers to enable user permissions when it comes to sensors: "User agents should consider providing the user an indication of when the sensor is used and allowing the user to disable it. " There is also an interesting paper on the Cornell University Library arXiv site titled "Stealing PINs via Mobile Sensors: Actual Risk versus User Perception. " The research paper takes a look at using JavaScript-based code, mobile sensors, and an artificial neural network to successfully steal user PINs on mobile devices. Clearly developers need to take into consideration user privacy and security when creating applications and websites that utilize mobile sensors and specifications like the W3C Proximity Sensor API. For more information about the W3C Proximity Sensor API, visit the W3C Editor's Draft on GitHub or the current working draft on the official W3C website .

    Les distributions Par son mode de diffusion particulier, Linux est parfois déroutant. En effet, on ne se procure jamais le système Linux mais un système Linux.

  • The Following Distributions Match Your Criteria (Sorted by Popularity): 1. Linux Mint (1) Linux Mint Is an Ubuntu-Based Distribu
    The following distributions match your criteria (sorted by popularity): 1. Linux Mint (1) Linux Mint is an Ubuntu-based distribution whose goal is to provide a more complete out-of-the-box experience by including browser plugins, media codecs, support for DVD playback, Java and other components. It also adds a custom desktop and menus, several unique configuration tools, and a web-based package installation interface. Linux Mint is compatible with Ubuntu software repositories. 2. Mageia (2) Mageia is a fork of Mandriva Linux formed in September 2010 by former employees and contributors to the popular French Linux distribution. Unlike Mandriva, which is a commercial entity, the Mageia project is a community project and a non-profit organisation whose goal is to develop a free Linux-based operating system. 3. Ubuntu (3) Ubuntu is a complete desktop Linux operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Manifesto: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customise and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". The Ubuntu distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world. 4. Fedora (4) The Fedora Project is an openly-developed project designed by Red Hat, open for general participation, led by a meritocracy, following a set of project objectives. The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from open source software.
