The off-brand 'military-grade' x86 processors, in the library, with the root-granting 'backdoor'
Black Hat A forgotten family of x86-compatible processors still used in specialist hardware, and touted for "military-grade security features," has a backdoor that malware and rogue users can exploit to completely hijack systems. The vulnerability is hardwired into the silicon of Via Technologies' C3 processors, which hit the market in the early to mid-2000s. Specifically, the chip-level backdoor,
Kernel-memory-leaking Intel processor design flaw forces Linux, Windows redesign
Kernel-memory-leaking Intel processor design flaw forces Linux, Windows redesign Final update A fundamental design flaw in Intel's processor chips has forced a significant redesign of the Linux and Windows kernels to defang the chip-level security bug. Programmers are scrambling to overhaul the open-source Linux kernel's virtual memory system. Meanwhile, Microsoft is expected to publicly introduce
Windows 10 networking bug derails Microsoft's own IPv6 rollout
No pressure, peeps: Techies are awaiting a fix from their Redmond coworkers A bug in Windows 10 is undermining Microsoft's efforts to roll out an IPv6-only network at its Seattle headquarters. According to Redmond's principal network engineer Marcus Keane, the software giant is struggling to move over to the decade-old networking technology due to a DHCPv6 bug in Windows 10, which made it "impossi
Splunk: Why we dumped Perforce for Atlassian's Bitbucket of Gits
Analysis Kurt Chase, director of engineering services at Splunk, is effusive about Atlassian's Git-based Bitbucket but doesn't have a lot of nice things to say about jilted source control system Perforce. As it turns out, Perforce has a rather jaundiced view of Git as a way to manage software. But more on that later. Two years ago, after nineteen years at Autodesk, Chase joined Splunk to manage re
This is what a root debug backdoor in a Linux kernel looks like
A root backdoor for debugging ARM-powered Android gadgets managed to end up in shipped firmware – and we're surprised this sort of colossal blunder doesn't happen more often. The howler is the work of Chinese ARM SoC-maker Allwinner, which wrote its own kernel code underneath a custom Android build for its devices. Its Linux 3.4-based kernel code, on Github here, contains what looks to The Registe
Microsoft has crafted a switch OS on Debian Linux. Repeat, a switch OS on Debian Linux
OCP Summit Put down your coffee gently. Microsoft has today released the source code to an open-source operating system, based on Debian GNU/Linux, that runs on network switches. The software is dubbed SONiC, aka Software for Open Networking in the Cloud. It's a toolkit of code and kernel patches to bend switch hardware to your will, so you can dictate how it works and what it can do, rather than
