Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe.

Libcue: The Friendly Neighborhood Library with a Nasty Secret
The seemingly harmless library, libcue, has been found with a memory corruption vulnerability. Thanks to tracker-miners, a GNOME application, the impact of this bug has been magnified. But fear not, a patch is on the way!
Hot Take:
Looks like we've got a new villain in town and it's called libcue! It might sound like a library for pool enthusiasts, but it's actually a library used for parsing cue sheets - a metadata format for describing the layout of CD tracks. Who knew that a seemingly innocuous piece of code could cause such a ruckus? But here we are, dealing with CVE-2023-43641, a memory corruption vulnerability, all thanks to tracker-miners, an application that's chummy with GNOME, the default graphical desktop environment of many open source operating systems. Tsk tsk, tracker-miners, you need to choose your friends wisely!
