The bad news is there is a vulnerability in the CUPS printer system on Linux. The good news is nobody has ever gotten their printer working on Linux so they are safe.
The entire disclosure seems to have been leaked online

Here is the report and POC

Another conference, another set of @CISPA faculty cards. Find us at @USENIXSecurity in Philadelphia, learn quirky "facts" about us (hint: we are not all just about serious science all the time), and be invited to our networking event on August 14 if you can collect five.

📣Official statement: the new EU chat controls proposal for mass scanning is the same old surveillance with new branding.

State of the art anti-cheat techniques:
Roblox detects if you have the string "x86dbg" in a window title (or window?), so kids are changing their display names and discord server names to x86dbg to get people kicked from Roblox.

ALT The program I’ve opened before this issue started was discord, where my friend named himself “x64dbg”, triggering the kick every time someone had thier DMs open. Even thought it kept after that, the only program that could’ve left it’s drivers running would be Cheat Engine, which I haven’t launched that windows session.
