With this release, WordPress has fixed 5 XSS vulnerabilities and an open redirect vulnerability. All of these vulnerabilities were discovered by third-party researchers as described below.

• Props to Simon Scannell of RIPS Technologies for finding and disclosing two issues. The first, a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability found in post previews by contributors. The second was a cross-site scripting vulnerability in stored comments.
  
• Props to Tim Coen for disclosing an issue where validation and sanitization of a URL could lead to an open redirect.
  
• Props to Anshul Jain for disclosing reflected cross-site scripting during media uploads.
  
• Props to Zhouyuan Yang of Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs who disclosed a vulnerability for cross-site scripting (XSS) in shortcode previews.
  
• Props to Ian Dunn of the Core Security Team for finding and disclosing a case where reflected cross-site scripting could be found in the dashboard.
  
• Props to Soroush Dalili (@irsdl) from NCC Group for disclosing an issue with URL sanitization that can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
  

Paint.NET started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft. Originally intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint software, it has grown into a powerful yet simple tool for photo and image editing.

• New: AV1 (*.avif) images can now be opened (saving is not supported). Windows 10 v1809+ and Microsoft’s AV1 Codec are required (download: https://www.microsoft.com/p/av1-video-ex...vzqvxjbq9v)
  
• New: DirectDraw Surface (*.dds) support has been greatly improved due to bundling @null54’s DDSFileTypePlus plugin. All DX10/DX11 formats should now be supported (e.g. BC4, BC5, BC6H, BC7), and encoding (saving) will make use of the GPU to greatly improve performance. Note that it’s not longer necessary to use the “.dds2” file extension.
  
• Improved: Startup performance has been improved
  
• Fixed: EXIF metadata of type Float and Double are now supported. This ensures GeoTIFF metadata is preserved.
  
• Fixed: Opening an image should no longer flicker because the transparency checkerboard was being drawn first
  
• Fixed: TGA images that are 16-bit with 1-bit alpha with a zero’d out alpha channel are now treated as opaque. This allows images from 5CC Map Maker (for Close Combat modding) to work. Thanks @null54 for the fix!
  
• Fixed: JPEG XR’s file extensions (*.jxr, *.wdp, *.wmp) are now registered with Explorer
  
• Fixed: Pasting images that use RGB pixel ordering should now work (this affects PaintTool SAI)
  

• New: JPEG XR file type support (Windows 8.1+ required)
  
• Fixed: Holding Ctrl when dragging a selection with Move Selected Pixels will again leave a copy behind (but only with the mouse)
  
• Fixed crashes when saving DDS images
  
• Fixed VTF file type plugin. It was not working in 4.2 except for images that were an exact power-of-2 size on each dimension.
  
• Fixed: .BMP files can be opened even if they’re not actually BMP images (they still need to be a valid WIC-supported file type such as PNG, JPEG, etc.)
  
• Fixed very bad performance when opening large images with embedded rotation metadata
  
• Fixed various crashes, such as when using File->New or Image->Resize, that sometimes happened if the previous update needed a reboot but either 1) it didn’t tell you that, or 2) it did but you didn’t reboot
  
• Fixed the problem that was causing the need for the aforementioned reboot in the first place (string resources file was locked by the thumbnail provider shell extension)
  
• Fixed: Text tool will no longer draw tiny text when an image uses dots-per-centimeter instead of dots-per-inch
  
• Fixed menu ordering of effect plugins that have duplicate names
  
• Fixed: The mouse wheel may now be used to scroll the Palettes menu in the Colors window (thanks @AndrewDavid for the suggestion and @toe_head2001 for the fix!)
  
• Fixed metadata handling that was preventing some images with EXIF tag 330 from being able to load
  
• Fixed metadata preservation for old images that pad EXIF string values with null terminators
  
• Fixed title bar text color when using certain custom accent colors in Windows 10
  
• Fixed title bar accent color when Tablet Mode is enabled
  
  
  

Quote:Photo shoot at night? Thanks to the ISO control on the camera no problem and the iPhone makes in the dark at first glance amazingly good pictures. On closer examination, however, the image noise is considerable and manifests itself in distinct grain and colored noise. With Denoise Projects 2  Elements, images with a high ISO value and strong image noise are corrected almost automatically. By the way, the software also has the complete opposite and has numerous possibilities to intentionally conjure film grain into motifs - for strong retro-look.

Quote:Google Chrome versions before 76.0.3809.132 are vulnerable to attack.
A recent vulnerability was discovered in Google’s Chrome browser. The search giant issued an urgent update to its users to tackle the vulnerability, which could result in arbitrary code execution. The flaw in Chrome allows hackers to ‘execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser’. This would allow hackers to view, edit or delete data that may otherwise be secret.

Attackers are always on the lookout for ways to access sensitive information, and this bug makes it possible. The vulnerability was first reported by the Centre for Internet Security.

Quote:(You know, the one that you can’t find in the library. The one that coincidentally was written by your professor and costs $70. The one that was used during one lesson for about ten minutes, and then quickly dumped on a shelf where it was forgotten? The one that you absolutely couldn’t buy second hand, because of some marginal change between versions? No, you’re bitter.)

But, then again, maybe you shouldn’t. Recent research from Kaspersky Labs shows that many illicitly acquired textbooks are rife with malware. During the last academic year, it identified 356,000 occasions where one of its users downloaded an infected bit of academic writing.

Quote:Chinese Uighurs were the target of an iOS malware attack lasting more than two years that was revealed last week, according to multiple reports.

Android and Windows devices were also targeted in the campaign, which took the form of “watering hole attacks”: taking over commonly visited websites or redirecting their visitors to clones in order to indiscriminately attack each member of a community.

One NordVPN account protects 6 devices

One NordVPN account spans 6 devices at a time, providing you 6x protection. Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux - no matter what operating system you use, NordVPN will hide your location, IP address and encrypt traffic.


Moreover, if you connect NordVPN to your router, all devices in your network will be protected, and only one of the 6 available connections will be used.

So how many devices does one NordVPN account protect? Everything. And this is really important.

We live in a world of devices, but every new internet gadget brings new risks. Hackers are looking for weaknesses. If you use a VPN on your computer, but leave your phone unprotected, it's like hanging a note “Key under the mat” on the door. A VPN for multiple devices is a must-have.

Quote:A distributor for the Sodinokibi Ransomware is hacking into WordPress sites and injecting JavaScript that displays a fake Q & A forum post over the content of the original site. This fake post contains an "answer" from the site's "admin" that contains a link to the ransomware installer.

As security software and people become more aware of the methods that are used to distribute ransomware and malware, affiliates need to come up with craftier methods to infect their victims.

Such is the case with a new distribution method that overlays a fake Questions and Answers forum on top of the content of a hacked site. This fake forum post will contain information related to the content of the page that the user is visiting, so it appears that the answer and link offered by the admin is legitimate.

In reality, though, the downloaded file will infect the user with the Sodinokibi, or REvil, Ransomware.

  
 

Happy Labor Day to all! A small giveaway for this occasion. The games are The Dwarves, Tangledeep, Still Life 2 & Saints Row 2. Post your Labor Day wishes, message, pictures or gifs anything you can think of to take part. This goes for a few days then I pick winners.


Disclaimer: I get some of these games from friends & take these in good faith. You can understand that its impossible to check if serial is working or already redeemed, unless you activate it on Steam. So if a key turns out to be a duplicate its unfortunate & hopefully I can offer a different replacement game if I have it. You have to active it on Steam & hope all are ok & you get the game. This is the only term/condition I got for such personal giveaways of mine. Pictures used are from steam pages & internet & only for fair use.
