From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes! 😁
graphviz: Exploitability for CVE-2023-46045 may be uncommon because this file is typically owned by root, but is related to an out-of-bounds read via a crafted config6a file. A welcoming fix was provided.
I can't imagine a single reason to use graphviz other than legacy code. Its algorithms are classical and old. Maybe someone should rewrite it in Rust, but even that might be an overkill.
