A kernel fuzzer that targets system calls in fuzzing is a popular tool for discovering kernel bugs that can induce kernel privilege escalation attacks. To the best of our knowledge, the relevance of code coverage, which is obtained by fuzzing, to the system call has not been studied yet. ...
Memory access bugs, including buffer overflows and uses of freed heap memory, remain a serious problem for programming languages like C and C++. Many memory error detectors exist, but most of them are either slow or detect a limited set of bugs, or both. This paper presents AddressSanitizer,...
How dangerous is it? In some cases, buffer overflow attacks are possible. Your private SSH keys can be leaked to an attacker. According to the page: SSH roaming enables a client, in case an SSH connection breaks unexpectedly, to resume it at a later time, provided the server also suppor...
This could potentially let attackers launch denial of service (DoS) attacks or remote code execution attacks against the affected mail servers. The vulnerability exists due to a heap-based buffer overflow (memory corruption) in string_vformat, which is part of a string.c, used in the EHLO (...
this part covers critical issues like the Western Sahara question; decentralisation efforts and the Touareg problem in Mali; the repercussions of the 2011 North African ‘springs’, notably in secondary and peripheral cities; the geopolitics of terrorist attacks in Tunisia and the Sahel; and trade ...
“random testing” end-point of the spectrum: they operate in a feedback loop, as shown in Fig.1. They rely on instrumentation to detect program features triggered by tests, e.g., a basic block being executed or a buffer overflow. Whenever a feature is seen for the first time, the ...
