The last few years have seen more than a few new categories of security solutions arise in hopes of stemming a never-ending tidal wave of risks. One of these categories is Automated Security Validation (ASV), which provides the attacker’s perspective of exposures and equips security teams to continuously validate exposures, security measures, and remediation at scale. ASV is an important element

New Linux Kernel Exploit Technique ‘SLUBStick’ Discovered by Researchers

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a novel Linux kernel exploitation technique dubbed SLUBStick that could be exploited to elevate a limited heap vulnerability to an arbitrary memory read-and-write primitive.
« Initially, it exploits a timing side-channel of the allocator to perform a cross-cache attack reliably, » a group of academics from the Graz University of Technology said [PDF]. «
