Welcome to the LWN.net Weekly Edition for October 19, 2017

• KRACK, ROCA, and device insecurity: reports from a bad week for security systems, with a special focus on KRACK.
• The trouble with text-only email: getting email delivered is hard enough to drive a privacy-oriented organization toward user tracking.
• A comparison of cryptographic keycards: which keycard is best for everyday crypto operations?
• unsafe_put_user() turns out to be unsafe: a dangerous in-kernel API leads to a vulnerability.
• Achieving DisplayPort compliance: a report from the X.Org Developers Conference.
• Point releases for the GNU C Library: should there be a glibc 2.26.1 release, or does glibc not need point releases at all?

This week's edition also includes these inner pages:

• Brief items: Brief news items from throughout the community.
• Announcements: Newsletters, conferences, security updates, patches, and more.
