LACT v0.10.1 has been released, providing important security updates by patching two CVEs related to its root-privileged daemon, along with enhancements such as Intel Xe fan control for Battlemage GPUs. The update also includes improvements like additional clock domain reporting for AMD and Nvidia cards, cleaner GPU naming in the user interface, and a new method for storing voltage/frequency curves for Nvidia. The security fixes address vulnerabilities that could allow local attackers to exploit the system, thus tightening privilege boundaries for users running the lactd service. This release exemplifies ongoing efforts to improve multi-vendor GPU management on Linux, while maintaining a focus on security and usability enhancements

LACT v0.10.1 Patches Two CVEs and Adds Intel Xe Fan Control for Linux

LACT v0.10.1 dropped today, bringing a crucial security update to the open-source Linux GPU utility that patches two CVEs tied to its root-privileged daemon. The hotfix introduces extra clock domain reporting for AMD and Nvidia cards, cleaner GPU naming in the UI, and voltage/frequency curve offsets for Nvidia, alongside a new Intel Xe fan control feature for Battlemage GPUs. The Intel Xe fan tuning requires a patched kernel, highlighting LACT's ongoing habit of wrestling with upstream hardware support before distribution adoption catches up. Available across Arch, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Flatpak, and other major distributions, the update tightens the privilege boundary for users running the lactd service with full system access.
