Auf "unserer" Realschule in NRW 2004 war dieser "Vorreiter" ein Lehrer, der Pinguin-affin genug war, um einen eigenen Informatikraum mit 20 PCs und Suse + KDE einzurichten.
So haben "wir" damals einige Stunden Informatik auf dem KDE-Desktop und mit Internetrecherche in Konqueror absolviert.
Die Workstations der Schule liefen sonst mit Windows 2000.
Meine erste Erfahrung mit Linux zuhause könnte damit zu tun haben.
War 2005, als ich Suse von mehreren DVDs installiert habe.
Netzwerktreiber gab es für meine Hardware nicht und .exe-Dateien gingen im Texteditor auf.
Ich war dann schnell wieder bei Windows.
Aber immerhin war jetzt bei mir abgespeichert, dass es was anderes gibt.

Some people think that #LLM usage costs rising will start undoing some of the harm caused by the #AI hype. I don't think that's really going to help that much.
I'm not even talking about all the projects that were ensloppified and enshittified already. I'm not talking about all the technical debt. I'm not talking about all the forks that will have to be maintained forever. I'm not talking of all the projects that were abandoned because of burnout, or because they were only hype-oriented. And I'm not talking about all the corporations that will continue submitting slop.
I'm talking about the loss of trust. After all, we're not talking of people who realized they were wrong and are sorry. We're not talking of people realizing that it was wrong to forfeit ethics and morals in the name of "productivity". We're talking of people who are jumping ships because their previous approach turned out not to be profitable anymore. We're talking of gamblers who left the casino because they went broke. They aren't sorry that they gambled; they are sorry that they've lost. And they'd be happy to do it again at the nearest opportunity.
So, I'm sorry to say, but #FreeSoftware is never going to be the same again. A lot of people have shown their true colors, and I won't forget that.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-55640 - Heap Buffer Overflow in GPAC MP4Box Sample Size Handling
Processing a crafted MP4 file with MP4Box `-add` can trigger a heap buffer overflow in `stbl_AddSize()`, causing a crash and potential code execution.
Summary:
The `stbl_AddSize()` function in `isomedia/stbl_write.c` does not sufficiently validate sample count boundaries before writing to the sample size table. When MP4Box imports a specially crafted MP4 file containing manipulated sample metadata, corrupted sample counts, invalid aspect ratios, and oversized box declarations, the vulnerable path writes beyond the allocated heap buffer for `stbl->sampleSize->sizes`.
AddressSanitizer reports a `heap-buffer-overflow` at `isomedia/stbl_write.c:492`, with a `WRITE of size 4` immediately after a 64-byte heap allocation.
CWE:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Affected Component:
```
isomedia/stbl_write.c:492
Function: stbl_AddSize()
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
GPAC MP4Box version 2.4 is affected according to the prepared CVE/MITRE data. The issue was reproduced on a GPAC build at commit:
```
027ce139dda498ee95df36db9f9f6f3cadce8ec9
```
Builds before the fix commit `321624f28d19a413449fd1718d1eb59037f8f7fc` should be considered affected if they contain the vulnerable sample size table update path.
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a crafted MP4 file with manipulated sample metadata. The issue can be reproduced locally with:
```
./MP4Box -add 25_poc.mp4 -new /dev/null
```
No elevated privileges are required. User interaction is required when the victim manually processes the malicious 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 are possible.
Fix / mitigation status:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:
```
321624f28d19a413449fd1718d1eb59037f8f7fc
```
Users should update to a GPAC build containing this commit or later. The affected sample size table path should validate `sampleCount` and ensure capacity before writing sample size entries.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-52291 - NULL Pointer Dereference in GPAC MP4Box Movie Info Dumping
Processing a crafted MP4 file with MP4Box `-info` can trigger a NULL pointer dereference in `DumpMovieInfo()`, causing a Denial of Service.
Summary:
The `DumpMovieInfo()` function in `applications/mp4box/filedump.c` does not sufficiently validate metadata tag values before printing them. When MP4Box processes a specially crafted MP4 file containing corrupted metadata tags, a NULL tag value can be passed to `fputs()`.
AddressSanitizer reports a segmentation fault caused by a read from address `0x0` in `strlen()` during `fputs()`, reached from `DumpMovieInfo()` at `applications/mp4box/filedump.c:4230`.
CWE:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Affected Component:
```
applications/mp4box/filedump.c:4230
Function: DumpMovieInfo()
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
GPAC MP4Box version 2.4 is affected according to the prepared CVE/MITRE data. The issue was reproduced on a GPAC build at commit:
```
6681656e841649ef91c2b76e561192fe9da791f8
```
Builds before the fix commit `4bbb6e5f7cb827e56f32b2f7a5918b0b8e395eb8` should be considered affected if they contain the vulnerable movie information dumping path.
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a crafted MP4 file with corrupted metadata tags, such as a malformed or NULL `minor_version` tag value. The issue can be reproduced locally with:
```
./MP4Box -info 24_data
```
No elevated privileges are required. User interaction is required when the victim manually processes the malicious 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. No evidence of arbitrary code execution was observed in the local crash data.
Fix / mitigation status:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:
```
4bbb6e5f7cb827e56f32b2f7a5918b0b8e395eb8
```
Users should update to a GPAC build containing this commit or later. The affected metadata dumping path should validate tag pointers and tag values before printing them.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-55639 - NULL Pointer Dereference in GPAC MP4Box Track Kind Handling
Processing a crafted MP4 file with MP4Box `-add` can trigger a NULL pointer dereference in `gf_isom_add_track_kind()`, causing a Denial of Service.
Summary:
The `gf_isom_add_track_kind()` function in `isomedia/isom_write.c` does not sufficiently validate the `kind` string before passing it to `strdup()`. When MP4Box imports a specially crafted MP4 file containing corrupted MPEG-2 TS PMT descriptors and empty track metadata, a NULL `kind` pointer can reach `gf_isom_add_track_kind()`.
AddressSanitizer reports a segmentation fault caused by a read from address `0x0` in `strlen()` during `strdup()`, reached from `gf_isom_add_track_kind()` at `isomedia/isom_write.c:3153`.

```
Builds before the fix commit `027ce139dda498ee95df36db9f9f6f3cadce8ec9` should be considered affected if they contain the vulnerable track kind handling path.
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a crafted MP4 file with corrupted PMT descriptors in an MPEG-2 TS stream and malformed or empty track metadata. The issue can be reproduced locally with:
```
./MP4Box -add 23_poc.mp4 -new /dev/null
```
No elevated privileges are required. User interaction is required when the victim manually processes the malicious file, or an automated media workflow invokes MP4Box on attacker-controlled input.

Fix / mitigation status:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:
```
027ce139dda498ee95df36db9f9f6f3cadce8ec9

Processing a crafted media file with MP4Box `-nhml` export can trigger a heap use-after-free in `gf_filter_pid_get_packet()`, causing a crash and potential memory corruption.
Summary:
The `gf_filter_pid_get_packet()` function in `filter_core/filter_pid.c` may be called on a `gf_pid_filter_t` object that has already been freed by `gf_filter_pid_del()`. When MP4Box exports a specially crafted file through the `-nhml` path, the file output filter can continue packet processing after the related PID filter object has been released.
AddressSanitizer reports a `heap-use-after-free` at `filter_core/filter_pid.c:6792`, with a `READ of size 8` from a freed 336-byte heap region.
CWE:
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Affected Component:
```
filter_core/filter_pid.c:6792
Function: gf_filter_pid_get_packet()
```
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:
```
63eccc33d4a2b731ebb31581ff5673a2c0b13ad4
```
Builds before the fix commit `0ccd2927c7145f5ab0352c5b15f787757b34eb18` should be considered affected if they contain the vulnerable packet filtering/export path.
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a crafted media file that is processed by MP4Box through the NHML export path. The issue can be reproduced locally with:
```
./MP4Box -nhml trackID 22_data -out /dev/null
```
No elevated privileges are required. User interaction is required when the victim manually processes the malicious 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 a heap use-after-free, memory corruption and potential arbitrary code execution cannot be ruled out.
Fix / mitigation status:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:
```
0ccd2927c7145f5ab0352c5b15f787757b34eb18
```
Users should update to a GPAC build containing this commit or later. The affected filtering path should ensure that a PID filter object remains valid before packet retrieval continues.

Security Advisory: CVE-2025-55653 - Divide by Zero in GPAC MP4Box
Processing a crafted MP4 file containing a zero-denominator fraction string causes gf_parse_lfrac() to divide by zero in utils/error.c:2290, terminating the process with SIGFPE.
Summary:
The gf_parse_lfrac() function in utils/error.c parses fractional timestamp or rate values extracted from media file metadata during file list processing. When a crafted MP4 causes filelist_next_url() to supply a fraction string whose denominator is zero, gf_parse_lfrac() performs the division at line 2290 without first validating that the divisor is non-zero. The resulting SIGFPE (floating-point exception) immediately kills the process with no possibility of recovery.
CWE:
CWE-369 - Divide by Zero
Affected Component:
```
utils/error.c:2290
Function: gf_parse_lfrac()
```
Affected Product:
MP4Box (GPAC Multimedia Open Source Project)
Affected Version:
MP4Box 2.4 and earlier; tested at commit 63eccc33d4a2b731ebb31581ff5673a2c0b13ad4
Attack Conditions:
An attacker supplies a locally accessible crafted MP4 file containing an invalid fractional value with a zero denominator in its metadata. The victim runs MP4Box -add ./21_poc.mp4 -new /dev/null on the file. No elevated privileges are required.
Impact:
The division by zero causes an immediate fatal crash (Denial of Service). No evidence of arbitrary code execution was observed.
Fix / mitigation status:
The issue was fixed in GPAC commit:
```
4bbb6e5f7cb827e56f32b2f7a5918b0b8e395eb8
```
Users should update to a GPAC build containing this commit or later.

@Paulatics First of all, thanks for being here on #Mastodon. A #Canadian Senator! That's so cool. ❤️
Mastodon, as a *distributed* platform, has no algorithms other than people just "boosting", and "starring" posts. There is no "unseen hand" (of the platform owners themselves) which unfairly promotes certain hidden agendas, turning one's feed into this "dark-patterned" psychological mind-game. The documentary movie "The Social Dilemma" talked about these dark patterns. Many of these dark patterns don't happen here on Mastodon. It's a night and day difference to me.
While it's true that there are bad actors on these #mastodon instances, IMHO there is almost always better moderation on a per-instance basis. Also, each Mastodon instance posts its rules (it's social values, and boundaries of enforcement) before joining, thereby allowing for the unique culture of each community - hopefully a locally/regionally-aligned one. Users can "Mute" and "Block" problematic users easily, which is a further mechanism of moderation in the hands of every user, including youth. Parents would ideally explain the importance of developing a moral compass _which knows how to do this "Muting" and "Blocking"_. **At the end of the day there's no escape from the need for good parenting.** Effective parenting is the key to this all, I say.
For these reasons, I say #Mastodon is different, and Canadian #Mastodon instances (at least) should escape such a ban, especially what with the need to get our Elbows Up, and protect our Data Sovereignty/autonomy. The ban I suggest would be for those American "TechBro" platforms: TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram (provably the worst of all psychologically, for teens and youth wholesale), Youtube, etc. There are Open Source alternatives to all of these, which Canadians can get their elbows up to host themselves, or sign up for accounts on.
Myself, I self-host a blog, a Hyper8 video website (it's like a Youtube Channel), an RSS feed, a photo-sharing site (Immich) a bit similar to Instagram, two Mastodon instances, two wikis, and even a Minecraft-like game server. I host all these things and more, right now. Not next month, or next year. All #OpenSource. The Americans can do their own thing, while we Canadians do our own thing with our awesome #European friends, who also take their #DataSovereignty very seriously. #EU #Europe
