[$] Controlling shadow-stack allocation in clone3()
User-space shadow stacks are a relatively new feature in Linux; support was
only added for 6.6, and is limited to the x86
architecture. As support for other architectures (including arm64 and RISC-V) approaches readiness,
though, more thought is going into the API for this feature. As a recent
discussion on the integration of shadow stacks with the clone3() system call shows, there are
still some details to be worked out.

Just about every Windows and Linux device vulnerable to new LogoFAIL firmware attack (ars technica)
This
ars technica article describes how secure-boot firmware on a huge range
of systems can be subverted with a malicious image file:
As its name suggests, LogoFAIL involves logos, specifically those of the hardware seller that are displayed on the device screen early in the boot process, while the UEFI is still running. Image parsers in UEFIs from all three major IBVs [independent BIOS vendors] are riddled with roughly a dozen critical vulnerabilities that have gone unnoticed until now. By replacing the legitimate logo images with identical-looking ones that have been specially crafted to exploit these bugs, LogoFAIL makes it possible to execute malicious code at the most sensitive stage of the boot process.
