Posted on

Researchers from the University of California, Riverside have developed a new class of attacks on wireless networks — AirSnitch (PDF). The attacks allow bypassing client isolation mechanisms in Wi-Fi networks that prevent clients from directly communicating with each other. In the worst-case scenario, the attacks enable an attacker to redirect the victim's traffic (MITM) for analysis or modification of unencrypted requests, as well as to spoof […]

A series of new vulnerabilities in telnetd that allow root privileges on the system

Posted on

Following the vulnerability discovered at the end of January that allowed logging in as root without password verification, several privilege escalation methods have been identified in the telnetd server from the GNU InetUtils package, resulting from the incomplete resolution of the vulnerability found in 1999 (CVE-1999-0073).

Rust proved to be better: a mature ecosystem, many contributors already know the language, and it is already used in Firefox and Chromium. The first to be ported was LibJS — the JavaScript engine (lexer, parser, AST, bytecode generator). […]
