Critical vulnerability in Glibc implementation of memcpy function for ARMv7

Security researchers from Cisco have disclosed details of a vulnerability (CVE-2020-6096) in the implementation of the memcpy() function provided in Glibc for the 32-bit ARMv7 platform. The problem is caused by incorrect handling of negative values ​​of the parameter that determines the size of the copied area, due to the use of assembly optimizations that manipulate signed 32-bit integers. Calling memcpy() on ARMv7 systems with a negative size results in incorrect value comparison and […]

How we tested the performance of new processors in the cloud for 1C according to the Gilev test

We will not open America if we say that virtual machines on new processors are always more productive than equipment on old generation processors. Another thing is more interesting: when analyzing the capabilities of systems that seem to be very similar in their technical characteristics, the result can be completely different. We saw this when we tested Intel processors in our cloud to see which ones provide the most […]
