These software failures commonly denoted as computer vulnerabilities, have special properties that separate them from other software failures. The detailed analysis of each vulnerability classifies its characteristics, policies violated by its exploitation, and leads to the understanding of the measures that...
While there are pointers here to individual vulnerabilities discovered for each of several platforms, but not about the safety of the individual using the platform: there are many other factors that govern the security of a system. After all, both Windows and Android are subject to much higher ...
Do you think vulnerabilities below the operating system (in firmware, BIOS, drivers, etc.) should be a concern in your industry? I think broadly it's an issue that doesn't get enough discussion because of all the other things above the operating system that we're al...
How can we communicate the risk level of below the operating system vulnerabilities to non-tech leadership, or technologist who don’t really understand what it is? For firmware, I use an analogy. Think of the firmware as the rebar or the ...
Security management is dedicated to safeguarding the operating system and its data against unauthorized access, threats, and vulnerabilities. Functions/Responsibilities Implementing user authentication mechanisms to validate user identities. Executing access control policies to restrict user permissions and data ...
The number of vulnerabilities is growing every day. Some vulnerabilities moderate, while others have a critical impact that can lead to escalating privileges or code execution. In the case of critical vulnerabilities, it is necessary to react immediately and patch the system. ...
Malware, unauthorized access to files and execution of unverified code are just some examples of how system security can be compromised, not only by exploiting known bugs and vulnerabilities, but also by the lack of appropriate countermeasures. ...
Although VxWorks comes with many security features, last year ARMIS exposed 11 critical vulnerabilities of the system, including remote code execution, denial of service, information leaks, and logical flaws. ARMIS publishes a video on Youtube showing how to exploit these vulnerabilities to get ...
Some examples of race condition vulnerabilities are as follows −A Hacker can interfere with the security system in the process of checking the login credentials before giving the access. The attack is performed by inserting a malicious code between the TOC and TOU, then authenticating the ...
An alternative of using VMs for isolation could be application of containers[78]. Such a solution makes virtual applications more flexible but needs sharing Operating System (OS), which increases data access vulnerabilities. To countermeasure, one could use a container in VM-based deployment[78]. ...
