Software vulnerabilities

This paper introduces a novel framework, July, which serves the dual purpose of detecting vulnerable commits and localizing the root causes of the vulnerabilities. The fundamental concept of July is that the determinant of the vulnerability of a commit is the inherent meaning embedded in its changed code. For just-in-time vulnerability detection (JIT-VD), July represents each commit by a Code Transformation Graph and employs a Graph Neural Network model to capture their meanings and distinguish between vulnerable and non-vulnerable commits.

In this research, we investigate the effects of overvoltage due to lightning strikes on the wings of wind turbines and propagation causing overvoltage on the insulation of cable in the control cable and mixed-lines. The paper also considers the overvoltage protection measures propagated into the insulation equipment and cable insulation using EMTP-RV simulation software.

Many security incidents are caused by software developers’ failure to adhere to secure programming practices. Static analysis tools have been used to detect software vulnerabilities. However, their wide usage by developers is limited by the special training required to write rules customized to application-specific logic. Our approach is interactive static analysis, to integrate static analysis into Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and provide in-situ secure programming support to help developers prevent vulnerabilities during code construction.

Any physical storage medium is, by definition, completely dependent upon very specific combinations of hardware and software for access. The accessibility of information stored on such media is highly vulnerable in today’s rapidly evolving technological environment. This issue is not solely the concern of digital archivists, but of all those responsible for managing and sustaining access to electronic records over even relatively short timescales.

ST&E is another technique that can be used in identifying IT system vulnerabilities during the risk assessment process. It includes the development and execution of a test plan (e.g., test script, test procedures, and expected test results). The purpose of system security testing is to test the effectiveness of the security controls of an IT system as they have been applied in an operational environment.

The automated vulnerability scanning tool is used to scan a group of hosts or a network for known vulnerable services (e.g., system allows anonymous File Transfer Protocol [FTP], sendmail relaying). However, it should be noted that some of the potential vulnerabilities identified by the automated scanning tool may not represent real vulnerabilities in the context of the system environment. For example, some of these scanning tools rate potential vulnerabilities without considering the site’s environment and requirements.

"The security of information systems has not improved at a rate consistent with the growth and sophistication of the attacks being made against them. To address this problem, we must improve the underlying strategies and techniques used to create our systems. Specifically, we must build security in from the start, rather than append it as an afterthought. That's the point of Secure Coding in C and C++. In careful detail, this book shows software developers how to build high-quality systems that are less vulnerable to costly and even catastrophic attack.

l The last minute decision to allow us to scan the police vehicle addresses was key to discovering what was in essence a completely undocumented and previously non disclosed security vulnerability. Had this choice not been made there is a potential that this vulnerability may have been discovered and exploited by someone less forgiving. This hardware and software combination is obviously potentially deployed elsewhere so the abuse is not localized to our specific client.

Worm containment must be automatic because worms can spread too fast for humans to respond. Recent work has proposed network-level techniques to automate worm containment; these techniques have limitations because there is no information about the vulnerabilities exploited by worms at the network level. We propose Vigilante, a new end-toend approach to contain worms automatically that addresses these limitations. Vigilante relies on collaborative worm detection at end hosts, but does not require hosts to trust each other.

In this paper, we propose a new approach for designing distributed systems to survive Internet catastrophes called informed replication, and demonstrate this approach with the design and evaluation of a cooperative backup system called the Phoenix Recovery Service. Informed replication uses a model of correlated failures to exploit software diversity. The key observation that makes our approach both feasible and practical is that Internet catastrophes result from shared vulnerabilities.

The best mitigation for this vulnerability is applying the appropriate vendor-supplied patch listed in the footnotes below. Schneider Electric has issued two patches for versions V9e and V10f If this vulnerability is not mitigated, a remote attacker could cause a buffer overflow and allow malicious code to be executed with administrator privileges. of the IGSS software to address this vulnerability. These patches are available from the Schneider Electric Web site or directly from the links in this advisory. Aaron Portnoy of Exodus Intelligence has validated the patches.

While it is important for network administrators to secure any host connected to the Internet, they must give name servers special consideration due to the important role they play. The purpose of this document is to outline some common steps that can be taken to secure an Internet Name Server from various types of attacks. Run a new version of your name server software As with any piece of software, name server software evolves with each release. Virtually all older name servers have widely known vulnerabilities that can be exploited.
