Intelligent Diagnosis Agent: Ushering in an Intelligent Era for OS Fault Diagnosis ​

In OS O&M, fault diagnosis is critical for stable service running. However, with growing system scale and hyper-node evolution, traditional diagnosis, relying on human experience, can no longer meet efficiency and large-scale demands.

In this context, the intelligent diagnosis agent emerges. It combines AI and kernel observability, delivering comprehensive automated fault diagnosis for the openEuler ecosystem. This approach fundamentally restructures traditional troubleshooting, ushering in an intelligent era for OS fault diagnosis.

Quick Start Guide for DeepSeek-V4 on openEuler and vLLM Ascend ​

On April 24, DeepSeek-V4 was officially released and open sourced with an ultra-long context (millions of tokens). It offers DeepSeek V4-Pro and DeepSeek V4-Flash. The context processing length of the model has been significantly expanded from 128,000 to 1 million, achieving nearly 10-fold capacity improvement. It introduces KV cache sliding window and compression algorithms. This greatly reduces attention computation and memory overhead and better supports agent and coding scenarios through model architecture innovation.

vLLM is an open-source large language model (LLM) inference engine under the PyTorch Foundation, providing users and developers with fast and easy-to-use LLM inference capabilities. vLLM-Ascend provides vLLM support for Ascend. This guide will help you run DeepSeek-V4 on Ascend using openEuler and vLLM Ascend.

openEuler on RISC-V SIG: Ecosystem Adaptation and Server Platform Progress ​

On April 25, at the openEuler Developer Day 2026, the RISC-V sub-forum discussed technical progress, ecosystem adaptation, and scenario-specific practice for openEuler on RISC-V.

This sub-forum highlighted the phased achievements of openEuler on RISC-V in system adaptation, kernel capabilities, chip verification, and server scenarios. The topics covered system adaptation and basic capability development of openEuler on the RISC-V architecture, including RVA23 specification adaptation, RISC-V server platform specification adaptation, RVCK kernel maintenance, and hardware boards. Industry partners also shared their progress on openEuler in silicon verification, kernel features, Input-Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU) or I/O virtualization, standard server platforms, and integrated intelligent computing CPUs.

The openEuler RISC-V SIG plans to further adapt to RISC-V RVA23 and server platform specifications, continue collaborating with community partners to improve the common foundation and expand hardware adaptation for the next-generation RISC-V commercial platforms, and promote the development and implementation of the RISC-V software and hardware ecosystem.

Intelligent CVE Fixing Agent Team: Multi-Role Collaboration for Automated Vulnerability Fixing ​

In April, the openEuler infrastructure SIG launched a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) intelligent fixing agent team that breaks down the fixing process into six specialized roles: project manager for overall coordination, architect for solution searching, reviewer for cross-validation, developer for fixing execution, QA for build validation, and O&M engineer for CI monitoring. Each role has a SKILL.md file defining responsibilities. The team uses a message-based collaboration mechanism with “build-review” dual verification to improve success rates.

It also features self-optimization. Upon CI build failure, it automatically triggers fixing, analyzes EulerMaker log error patterns, and updates rules, and learns iteratively from historical failures. Currently, full-link automation from CVE issue parsing to PR submission has been achieved in the openEuler community, significantly shortening vulnerability fixing cycles.

Critical Vulnerabilities (Major Impact) ​

CVE-2026-29415 (CVSS: 9.1)

Description: When the soft failure vulnerability is disabled in Apache Tomcat Native, CLIENT_CERT authentication does not fail as expected in some cases. This issue affects Apache Tomcat versions from 11.0.0-M1 to 11.0.18, from 10.1.0-M7 to 10.1.52, and from 9.0.83 to 9.0.115, and Apache Tomcat Native versions from 1.1.23 to 1.1.34, from 1.2.0 to 1.2.39, from 1.3.0 to 1.3.6, and from 2.0.0 to 2.0.13. Users are advised to upgrade to Tomcat Native 1.3.7 or 2.0.14, and Tomcat 11.0.20, 10.1.53, and 9.0.116.

Affected releases:

  • openEuler-20.03-LTS-SP4

  • openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP4

  • openEuler-24.03-LTS

  • openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP1

  • openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP2

  • openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP3

CVE-2026-33186 (CVSS: 9.1)

Description: Attackers can use this vulnerability to send the raw HTTP/2 frame with the malformed :path header directly to the gRPC server. The fix in version 1.79.3 ensures that any request with a :path header that does not start with a leading slash is immediately rejected, and a codes.UnExecuted error is returned. This prevents such requests from reaching the authorization interceptors or handlers with a non-canonical path string. While upgrading is the most secure and recommended method, users can mitigate the vulnerability using one of the following methods: validating interceptors (recommended for mitigation); infrastructure-level normalization; and/or policy hardening.

Affected releases:

  • openEuler-20.03-LTS-SP4

  • openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP4

  • openEuler-24.03-LTS

  • openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP1

  • openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP2

  • openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP3

CVE-2026-34743 (CVSS: 9.8)

Description: XZ Utils provides a general-purpose data-compression library and command-line tools. Before version 5.8.3, if lzma_index_decoder() was used to decode an index containing no records, the generated lzma_index would be in a state where subsequent calls to lzma_index_append() would allocate insufficient memory, leading to a buffer overflow. This issue has been fixed in version 5.8.3.

Affected releases:

  • openEuler-20.03-LTS-SP4

  • openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP4

  • openEuler-24.03-LTS

  • openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP1

  • openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP2

  • openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP3
