Meko reflects how infrastructure companies are reassessing their role in the agentic AI stack. As agents take on longer-running tasks across multiple systems, the problems companies keep hitting — shared context and coordination — are ones distributed systems engineers would recognise immediately.
"Agents are working from inconsistent views of what's true right now," Ranganathan told me. "This is because there is no way to enforce a shared truth." …"

I've received some questions about my algorithm experiments. First off, I'm building this mainly for myself, since I often don't have time to scroll through posts chronologically and just want the best and most important bits from my social media. It's opt-in and currently only an experiment in my fork.
How the "For you" ranked feed on mementomori.social actually works:
First, the ground rules. Again, "For you" is opt-in on our instance. If you never touch the toggle, your home feed stays exactly as it is: chronological, complete, and untouched. Nothing below applies to you. We never turn it on without your consent, and every setting is stored and controlled by you.
Where the posts come from. The feed ranks the newest ~800 posts and boosts from people you follow. If you also enable "Include posts from people you don't follow," trending posts on the instance get mixed in, roughly one in every four slots, and your scrolling can continue through the trending pool once your own feed runs out.
How a post is scored. Every post receives one score made of four parts multiplied together:
1. Engagement: boosts count 3x, replies 2x, favourites 1x.
For posts from other instances, we use counts from their home instance so federation doesn't undercount them.
2. Your affinity to the author: how often you've favourited, boosted, or replied to that person in the last 30 days.
It's logarithmic, the 5th interaction matters much more than the 50th, so no one can dominate your feed just because you liked them a lot once.
3. Time decay: a post loses half its score every 6 hours. Old posts fade no matter how popular they are.
4. A touch of randomness (±10%) so the order isn't fixed.
Freshness. Every post shown to you goes to the back of the line for 2 days. That's why refreshing gives you new posts instead of showing the same viral hit again and again, and why "Load more" always digs deeper instead of repeating.
Housekeeping rules: boosts show the original post. Your own posts and boosts never appear. Private mentions never appear. Brand-new posts wait 15 minutes before entering so they have a bit of time to gather reactions first.
What it does NOT do: There's no tracking beyond one thing: a list of post IDs already shown to you, which auto-deletes after 2 days. No reading your posts, no content analysis, no machine learning, and no profile built about you.
The weights above are the entire model, and your instance admin can adjust every number. Hopefully, if this project matures, you'll be able to adjust every weight yourself.
Code for the curious:

Attack wave on Arch Linux: hundreds of package descriptions with malware in AUR
Arch Linux defends itself against a wave of attacks that have massively contaminated package descriptions in the unofficial Arch User Repository with malware.
Security Advisory: CVE-2025-52290 - NULL Pointer Dereference in FFmpeg H.264 Reorder Frame Handling
Processing a crafted media file with `ffmpeg` can trigger a segmentation fault in `avpriv_h264_has_num_reorder_frames()`, causing a denial of service.
Summary:
FFmpeg can crash while demuxing a malformed MPEG/MP4 input that causes H.264 data to be handled through a mismatched AAC `AVCodecContext`. In the observed crash path, the demuxing code reaches `has_decode_delay_been_guessed()` and calls `avpriv_h264_has_num_reorder_frames()` with an invalid or uninitialized H.264 parameter-set state. The function then dereferences `ps.sps` without sufficient validation and triggers a `SEGV` read in `libavcodec/h264dec.c:64`.
The issue is reproducible with the provided PoC media file and was observed in both a standard build and an AddressSanitizer build.
CWE:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Affected Component:
```
libavcodec/h264dec.c:64
Function: avpriv_h264_has_num_reorder_frames()
libavformat/demux.c:757
Function: has_decode_delay_been_guessed()
```
Affected Product:
FFmpeg / ffmpeg command-line media processing tool.
Affected Version:
The issue was reproduced on FFmpeg version `N-119856-gbe46370941` and commit:
```
be46370941405fb04402d96373a53e2a1846f3ac
```
The local environment notes also reference a tested FFmpeg commit:
```
52441bd4cd0e85bf007473bd2eada2b2083aacf5
```
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a specially crafted media file to a workflow that invokes FFmpeg on attacker-controlled input. This can be a local batch/transcoding workflow, or a network-facing media-processing service that accepts uploads and processes them with FFmpeg.
The crash can be reproduced with:
```
./ffmpeg -i ./1_poc.mp4 -f null
```
No elevated privileges are required. User interaction depends on the deployment model: interactive use requires a user to process the malicious file, while automated upload/transcoding services may trigger the crash without direct user interaction.
Impact:
The observed impact is denial of service due to abnormal process termination. AddressSanitizer reports a `SEGV` caused by a read memory access in:
```
avpriv_h264_has_num_reorder_frames libavcodec/h264dec.c:64:17
```
The prepared materials at the CVE request also note the potential impact on code execution, however, I have not demonstrated any control flow hacking or an exploit to execute working code.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-55648 - Heap Buffer Overflow in GPAC MP4Box Opus Packet Parser
Processing a crafted MP4 file containing corrupted Opus sample-size data with `MP4Box` can trigger a heap buffer overflow in `gf_opus_parse_packet_header()`, causing a crash and potential memory corruption impact.
Summary:
The `gf_opus_parse_packet_header()` function in `media_tools/av_parsers.c` does not sufficiently validate the input buffer length before parsing Opus packet headers. When MP4Box processes a crafted MP4 file with corrupted sample-size (`stsz`) data, the parser reads beyond the bounds of a heap-allocated sample buffer.
AddressSanitizer reports a `heap-buffer-overflow` at `media_tools/av_parsers.c:11297`, with a `READ of size 1` 1242 bytes past a 32-byte heap region allocated by `Media_GetSample()`.
CWE:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Affected Component:
```
media_tools/av_parsers.c:11297
Function: gf_opus_parse_packet_header()
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
MP4Box versions 2.4 and earlier are affected according to the prepared CVE/MITRE data. The issue was reproduced on a GPAC build at commit:
```
61bbfd2e89553373ba3449b8ec05b5f098d732a5
```
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a crafted MP4 file containing corrupted Opus sample-size (`stsz`) data. The issue can be reproduced locally with:
```
./MP4Box 12_poc.mp4 -dxml
```
No elevated privileges are required. The CVE text describes the attack as network/context-dependent because attacker-controlled media may be processed by MP4Box in automated workflows; manual processing also triggers the issue.
Impact:
The immediate observed impact is Denial of Service due to process termination. Because the bug reads beyond a heap allocation, information disclosure may be possible. The local MITRE data also notes potential arbitrary code execution risk, though the observed ASAN trace is an out-of-bounds read.
Fix / mitigation status:
The local CVE/MITRE data references GPAC fix commit:
```
cea49f684dbc4d53ecd6c76a9623838802a68d88
```
Users should update to a GPAC build containing this commit or later. The affected Opus parser should validate sample buffer length and `stsz`-derived packet sizes before reading packet header fields.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-55642 - Divide by Zero in GPAC MP4Box AVI Demuxer
Processing a crafted AVI-like media file with `MP4Box` can trigger a division by zero in `avidmx_process()`, causing a floating-point exception and Denial of Service.
Summary:
The `avidmx_process()` function in `filters/dmx_avi.c` does not sufficiently validate frame-count metadata before using it as a divisor during bitrate computation. When MP4Box processes a specially crafted input with invalid AVI frame metadata, such as a `0/256` frame declaration, the DASH processing path attempts to compute bitrate from the bitstream and divides by zero.
AddressSanitizer reports an `FPE` at `filters/dmx_avi.c:639`.
CWE:
CWE-369 - Divide by Zero
Affected Component:
```
filters/dmx_avi.c:639
Function: avidmx_process()
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
GPAC MP4Box v2.4 is affected according to the CVE request data. The issue was reproduced on a GPAC build at commit:
```
f87b30611380e4dcd03cd4dd9ac553c0ec336826
```
Builds before the fix commit `cea49f684dbc4d53ecd6c76a9623838802a68d88` should be considered affected if they contain the vulnerable AVI demuxer bitrate computation path.
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a crafted AVI-like media file with invalid frame metadata. The issue is triggered while processing the file through MP4Box DASH segmentation, for example with a `-dash` command using `14_poc.mp4`.
No elevated privileges are required. User interaction is required when the victim manually processes the malicious media file, or an automated workflow invokes MP4Box on attacker-controlled input.
Impact:
The immediate observed impact is Denial of Service due to an uncaught floating-point exception and process termination. No evidence of arbitrary code execution was observed.
Fix / mitigation status:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:
```
cea49f684dbc4d53ecd6c76a9623838802a68d88
```
Users should update to a GPAC build containing this commit or later. The affected code should validate `num_frames` and related AVI metadata before using frame counts in bitrate calculations.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-55644 - Use-After-Free in GPAC MP4Box
Processing a crafted MP4 file with invalid BIFS GlobalQuantizer commands causes gf_node_get_tag() to access a freed 192-byte QuantizationParameter node at scenegraph/base_scenegraph.c:1263, resulting in a heap use-after-free and crash.
Summary:
During MPEG-4 BIFS scene decoding, BM_ParseGlobalQuantizer() in bifs/memory_decoder.c first calls gf_node_unregister() at line 176 to release a QuantizationParameter node, freeing the 192-byte heap region. Without clearing the stale pointer, the function then calls gf_node_get_tag() on the same address at line 181, performing a READ of 8 bytes at offset 0 into the freed region. A crafted MP4 containing invalid GlobalQuantizer BIFS commands, corrupted ODF descriptors, and malformed box types (PEC1808, fre) reliably triggers this free-then-use sequence through the -svg dump path.
CWE:
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Affected Component:
```
scenegraph/base_scenegraph.c:1263
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
MP4Box 2.4 and earlier; tested at commit f5b7cdc63a7f3269040778c5431a8f6c310bc9f3
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a locally accessible crafted MP4 file embedding invalid BIFS scene data. The victim runs MP4Box -svg on the file to trigger BIFS scene parsing. No elevated privileges are required.
Impact:
The use-after-free causes a fatal crash (Denial of Service). Use-after-free vulnerabilities can allow attackers to control freed heap memory contents and potentially redirect execution flow; code execution cannot be excluded.
Fix / mitigation status:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:
```
63eccc33d4a2b731ebb31581ff5673a2c0b13ad4
```
Users should update to a GPAC build containing this commit or later.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-55652 - Heap Buffer Overflow in GPAC MP4Box VP Configuration Handling
Processing a crafted MP4 file with malformed VP codec configuration data can trigger a heap buffer overflow in `gf_isom_vp_config_new()`, causing a crash and potential memory corruption.
Summary:
The `gf_isom_vp_config_new()` function in `isomedia/avc_ext.c` does not sufficiently validate buffer boundaries when creating VP codec configuration boxes. A crafted MP4 file with malformed VP codec data, including unknown box types such as `D0ncv` in `stsd`, can cause MP4Box to allocate an undersized box structure and then write VP/NALU configuration data beyond the allocation.
CWE:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Affected Component:
```
isomedia/avc_ext.c:1962
Function: gf_isom_vp_config_new()
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
MP4Box versions 2.4 and earlier are affected according to the prepared CVE/MITRE data. The issue was reproduced on a GPAC build at commit:
```
74fecde32cd477ab097f3e6db55a32b259f3313d
```
Builds before the fix commit `ad3b541b4f38c8f0ef67544509598f8207ea1207` should be considered affected if they contain the vulnerable VP configuration allocation/write path.
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a crafted MP4 file containing malformed VP codec configuration data. The issue can be reproduced locally with:
```
./MP4Box -dash 10000 ./18_poc.mp4
```
No elevated privileges are required. User interaction is required when the victim manually processes the malicious MP4 file, or an automated media workflow invokes MP4Box on attacker-controlled input.
Impact:
The immediate observed impact is Denial of Service due to process termination. Because the vulnerability is an out-of-bounds heap write, memory corruption and potential arbitrary code execution cannot be ruled out.
Fix / mitigation status:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:

CVE-2025-55650 - Heap Use-After-Free in GPAC MP4Box SVG Node Handling
Summary
Processing a crafted MP4 file with `MP4Box -svg` can trigger a heap use-after-free in `gf_svg_node_del()`, causing a crash and possible memory corruption.
The `gf_svg_node_del()` function in `scenegraph/svg_types.c` does not ensure that freed SVG node memory is not accessed again during scene graph cleanup. When MP4Box parses a crafted MP4 file through the MPEG-4 LASeR/SVG scene dump path, an SVG node is freed and then dereferenced again.
AddressSanitizer reports a heap-use-after-free at `scenegraph/svg_types.c:107`, with a `READ of size 8` from a 24-byte heap region that was previously freed in `gf_svg_node_del()` at `scenegraph/svg_types.c:126` and allocated by `gf_svg_create_node()` at `scenegraph/svg_types.c:65`.
Affected Component
`scenegraph/svg_types.c:107`
Function: `gf_svg_node_del()`
Affected Product
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version
GPAC MP4Box v2.4.
The issue was reproduced on a GPAC build at commit `46be5f928660530d5332cd2f1d177208737558ef`.
Attack Conditions
An attacker supplies a crafted MP4 file that reaches the SVG/LASeR scene parsing path. The issue can be reproduced with:
```
./MP4Box -svg 10_poc.mp4
```
No elevated privileges are required. User interaction is required when a victim manually processes the malicious MP4 file; automated workflows that invoke MP4Box on attacker-controlled media may also trigger the issue.
Impact
The observed impact is denial of service due to process termination. Because the vulnerability is a heap use-after-free, memory corruption and potential arbitrary code execution cannot be ruled out.
CWE
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Fix
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit `6be6f62e2a079ebccf3a9e57c27787fd16e645de`.
Users should update to a GPAC build containing this commit or later. The affected scene graph cleanup code should prevent use of freed SVG nodes and ensure node lifetime and registration state are handled consistently during scene reset and deletion.

CVE-2025-55661 - Heap Buffer Overflow in GPAC MP4Box Opus Header Parser
Summary:
Processing a crafted MP4 file containing malformed Opus audio packets with MP4Box can trigger a heap buffer overflow in `gf_opus_parse_packet_header()`, causing a crash and possible information disclosure from an out-of-bounds heap read.
The `gf_opus_parse_packet_header()` function in `media_tools/av_parsers.c` does not sufficiently validate the input buffer size before reading Opus packet header fields. When MP4Box parses crafted Opus audio packet data, the parser reads one byte beyond the end of a heap-allocated sample buffer.
AddressSanitizer reports a heap-buffer-overflow at `media_tools/av_parsers.c:11326`, with a `READ of size 1` immediately after a 3-byte heap region allocated by `Media_GetSample()`.
Affected Component:
`media_tools/av_parsers.c:11326`
Function: `gf_opus_parse_packet_header()`
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
GPAC MP4Box v2.4
The issue was reproduced on a GPAC build at commit `ff8249a407685d00ceb5f4d2a798b9cad195140e`.
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a crafted MP4 file containing malformed Opus audio packet data, such as an invalid TOC code 3 length. The issue can be reproduced with:
```
./MP4Box 9_poc.mp4 -dxml -out /dev/null
```
No elevated privileges are required. The attack is context-dependent because attacker-controlled media may be processed by MP4Box in automated workflows; manual processing also triggers the issue.
Impact:
The observed impact is denial of service due to process termination. Because the bug reads beyond a heap allocation, adjacent heap memory disclosure may also be possible.
CWE:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Fix:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit `d523e7190ccdcf2c13a698080f4f30dc933bd34c`.
Users should update to a GPAC build containing this commit or later. The affected Opus parser should validate the sample buffer length before reading TOC and packet header fields.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-55663 - NULL Pointer Dereference in GPAC MP4Box Track Descriptor Handling
Summary:
Processing a crafted MP4 file containing an unsupported box type with `MP4Box` can trigger a NULL or invalid pointer dereference in `Track_SetStreamDescriptor()`, causing a Denial of Service.
The `Track_SetStreamDescriptor()` function in `isomedia/track.c` mishandles sample entry pointers when importing malformed MP4 files containing an unknown `svcC` box inside an `av01` parent box. The unsupported box path can leave the relevant sample entry pointer uninitialized or invalid, and the import/update path later dereferences it.
AddressSanitizer reports a `SEGV` caused by a `READ` memory access at `isomedia/track.c:1677`.
CWE:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Affected Component:
```
isomedia/track.c:1677
Function: Track_SetStreamDescriptor()
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
MP4Box versions 2.4 and earlier are affected according to the prepared CVE/MITRE data. The issue was reproduced on a GPAC build at commit:
```
15a4ac2dff38cdbb8b43e7c84fb1595ee80d81ac
```
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a crafted MP4 file containing an unsupported `svcC` box inside an `av01` parent box. The issue can be reproduced locally with:
```
./MP4Box -add 8_poc.mp4 -new /dev/null -ab 1024
```
No elevated privileges are required. User interaction is required when the victim manually processes the malicious MP4 file, or an automated workflow invokes MP4Box on attacker-controlled media.
Impact:
The immediate observed impact is Denial of Service due to process termination. The local MITRE data notes potential code execution risk; the observed trace shows an invalid read and segmentation fault.
Fix:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:
```
78c2c9be29a41b38eca2c53d280442088a71dab9
```
Users should update to a GPAC build containing this commit or later. The affected code should validate sample entry pointers and unsupported box handling before changing stream descriptors or importing media configuration.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-55660 - Stack-based Buffer Overflow in GPAC MP4Box Opus Parser
Summary:
Processing a crafted MP4 file containing malformed Opus audio packets with `MP4Box` can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow in `gf_opus_read_length()`, causing a crash and potential memory corruption.
The `gf_opus_read_length()` function in `media_tools/av_parsers.c` does not sufficiently validate Opus packet sizes before writing packet length information. When MP4Box parses a crafted MP4 file containing malformed non-self-delimited Opus packet data, the parser can write two bytes beyond the bounds of a stack object used by the Opus inspection path.
AddressSanitizer reports a `stack-buffer-overflow` at `media_tools/av_parsers.c:11140`, with a `WRITE of size 2` overflowing the `pckh` stack object in `gf_inspect_dump_opus_internal()`.
CWE:
CWE-121 - Stack-based Buffer Overflow
Affected Component:
```
media_tools/av_parsers.c:11140
Function: gf_opus_read_length()
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
MP4Box versions 2.4 and earlier are affected according to the prepared CVE/MITRE data. The issue was reproduced on a GPAC build at commit:
```
ff8249a407685d00ceb5f4d2a798b9cad195140e
```
Attack Conditions:

```
./MP4Box -add 7_poc.mp4 -dxml -out /dev/null
```
No elevated privileges are required. User interaction is required when the victim manually processes the malicious MP4 file, or an automated workflow invokes MP4Box on attacker-controlled media.
Impact:
The immediate observed impact is Denial of Service due to process termination. Because the vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow with attacker-controlled media input, memory corruption and potential arbitrary code execution cannot be ruled out.
Fix:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:
```
d523e7190ccdcf2c13a698080f4f30dc933bd34c
```
Users should update to a GPAC build containing this commit or later. The affected Opus parsing code should validate packet sizes and frame-length constraints before writing length fields into packet header structures.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-70102 - NULL Pointer Dereference in dhcpcd parse_option
Summary
A crafted dhcpcd configuration input can trigger undefined behavior in the configuration parser by causing `parse_option()` to access a member through a NULL `struct dhcp_opt` pointer.
The issue is located in `src/if-options.c` in `parse_option()`. During parsing of malformed or unexpected option data, the lookup/parsing path can leave the local DHCP option pointer unset. The affected code then assumes the option pointer is valid and accesses embedded option metadata through it, which results in a NULL pointer member access at `src/if-options.c:1886`.
CWE:
CWE-758 - Reliance on Undefined, Unspecified, or Implementation-Defined Behavior
Affected Component:
```
src/if-options.c:1886
Function: parse_option()
```
Affected Product:
dhcpcd
Affected Version:
The issue was reproduced against dhcpcd commit:
```
2de751b3691642151a4fdc49e444d6b4dc364e98
```
Attack Conditions:
An attacker must cause dhcpcd to process a crafted configuration input that reaches the vulnerable option parsing path. The issue was reproduced in an instrumented fuzzing build of the dhcpcd configuration reader.
Impact:
The vulnerability causes undefined behavior and process termination under the sanitizer build, resulting in Denial of Service. No evidence of arbitrary code execution was observed in the local crash data.
Fix:
The issue was fixed in dhcpcd commit:
```
117742d755b591764036dd4218f314f748a3d2b7
```
The fix ensures that the pointed-to local DHCP option entry is non-NULL before it is dereferenced. Users should update to a dhcpcd build containing this commit or later.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-55657 - NULL Pointer Dereference in GPAC MP4Box VVC Configuration Writer
Processing a crafted MP4 file containing malformed or unsupported VVC configuration data with `MP4Box` can trigger a NULL pointer dereference in `gf_odf_vvc_cfg_write_bs()`, causing a Denial of Service.
Summary:
The `gf_odf_vvc_cfg_write_bs()` function in `odf/descriptors.c` does not validate that the pointer to VVC configuration NAL unit data is non-NULL before using it. When MP4Box processes a crafted MP4 file containing an unsupported `vvc16` box inside the `stsd` parent box, the VVC configuration write path can receive a NULL configuration pointer and dereference it.
AddressSanitizer reports a `SEGV` caused by a `READ` memory access at address `0x000000000000`, with the crash occurring at `odf/descriptors.c:1267`.
CWE:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Affected Component:
```
odf/descriptors.c:1267
Function: gf_odf_vvc_cfg_write_bs()
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
MP4Box versions 2.4 and earlier are affected according to the prepared CVE/MITRE data. The issue was reproduced on a GPAC build at commit:
```
ff8249a407685d00ceb5f4d2a798b9cad195140e
```
Builds before the fix commit `34495b9db132be2adb6edd2ab7a28e5f8d5cd2e5` should be considered affected if they contain the vulnerable VVC configuration write path.
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a crafted MP4 file containing malformed VVC configuration data, including an unsupported `vvc16` sample description box. The issue can be reproduced locally with:
```
./MP4Box -add 6_poc.mp4 -new ./test -split-size 500
```
No elevated privileges are required. User interaction is required when the victim manually processes the malicious MP4 file, or an automated workflow invokes MP4Box on attacker-controlled media.
Impact:
The immediate observed impact is Denial of Service due to process termination. The crash is a NULL pointer dereference on the zero page; no evidence of arbitrary code execution was observed.
Fix / mitigation status:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:
```
34495b9db132be2adb6edd2ab7a28e5f8d5cd2e5
```
Users should update to a GPAC build containing this commit or later. The affected code should validate VVC configuration pointers and reject malformed or unsupported VVC sample description data before writing VVC configuration records.
