ACEA: An Adversarial Co-Evolution Arena for Head-to-Head Red-Team and Blue-Team LLM Testing

ACEA is a pluggable arena scoring LLM red-team attackers and blue-team defenses head-to-head with an LLM judge and verifiable leakage ground truth.

ACEA connects pluggable red- and blue-team adapters to a shared target LLM through the model-agnostic ASAP HTTP protocol and scores attack and defense rates per adversarial round. Canonical seeded secrets provide verifiable ground truth that separates real leakage from hallucination, and attacks are delivered to the target even when blocked to measure raw potency. The platform adds real-time battle visualization, failure-localizing end-of-battle reports, and an optional in-context improvement loop that feeds advisory hints between rounds.

Six new dnsmasq vulnerabilities open the door to DNS cache poisoning, local root

Six dnsmasq flaws enable DNS cache poisoning, DoS, memory leaks, and local root code execution; fixes ship in version 2.92rel2.

Researchers disclosed six dnsmasq vulnerabilities spanning memory safety and input validation, including heap buffer overflows in extract_name() and extract_addresses(), DNSSEC infinite-loop and out-of-bounds read flaws, and a DHCPv6 out-of-bounds write allowing local root code execution. Exploitation paths include DNS cache poisoning, bypassing security controls, remote denial of service, and local privilege escalation. Maintainers released version 2.92rel2 with fixes, and a stable 2.93 release is expected within weeks.
