Buffer overflows are one of the oldest and most dangerous vulnerabilities in software security. A heap buffer overflow was the second most exploited vulnerability in 2023. Over the years, it has enabled countless attacks, often with severe consequences, such as Cloudbleed in 2017. Despite advances in security practices, buffer overflows continue to pose significant risks, especially in software written in low-level languages like C and C++.

AUTOSAR Simulator Enables Automotive Suppliers to Test Complete AUTOSAR Systems for Security Issues and Bugs Without Hardware.
  |  By Khaled Yakdan
Testing Classic AUTOSAR applications has long been a significant challenge due to the reliance on hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) setups, which are costly, complex, and hard to scale. Code Intelligence’s new lightweight AUTOSAR simulator revolutionizes this process by enabling entire AUTOSAR applications to run on x86 Linux systems, thus facilitating software-in-the-loop (SiL) testing.

Out-of-bounds memory access, also known as buffer overflow, occurs when a program tries to read from or write to a memory location outside the bounds of the memory buffer that has been allocated for it. This type of vulnerability is particularly dangerous because it can lead to various issues, including crashes, data corruption, sensitive data leaks, and even the execution of malicious code.

Embedded software development presents unique challenges due to its close integration with hardware, strict real-time requirements, and the need for high reliability and safety. The V-Model, also known as the Verification and Validation model, offers a structured approach that effectively addresses these challenges. This blog post delves into the V-Model's intricacies and elucidates how it enhances the testing of embedded software.

One of the most effective security testing methods for embedded systems is fuzz testing. It’s the fastest way to identify memory corruption errors and their root cause. It enables a shift-left testing approach, recommended by many industry standards, and reaches up to 100% code coverage. Read on for the details.

Software-in-the-loop (SiL) testing is a pivotal method in the software development lifecycle, especially for embedded systems and critical applications. By simulating real-world conditions and integrating software components within a controlled virtual environment, SiL allows for the early detection of bugs, ensuring higher code quality and reliability. Read on to learn how to introduce SiL testing in your project.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a federal agency within the Department of Health and Human Services. The FDA is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through the control and supervision of medications, vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other types of products. To ensure the safety and security of medical devices, the FDA supports a variety of standards and guidelines that medical device manufacturers are highly recommended to follow.

The Crowdstrike incident is a recent example of out-of-bounds memory access in C/C++ causing a crash. CrowdStrike reported that problematic content in Channel File 291 triggered an out-of-bounds memory read, leading to a Windows operating system crash (BSOD). Another critical example with the exact root cause is the Heartbleed vulnerability, which affected the OpenSSL library. Remarkably, fuzz testing could identify this issue in less than 10 seconds. Watch the video to see fuzz testing in action.

CARIAD has been building one unified software platform for all Volkswagen brands to provide them with reliable software and digital best practices. In recent years, CARIAD and the rest of the automotive software sector faced extensive industry regulation and an array of dangerous and costly vulnerabilities. By introducing feedback-based fuzzing, an advanced white-box testing method that uses self-learning AI to uncover deeply hidden bugs and security vulnerabilities, CARIAD was able to find and fix potentially dangerous issues early in the development process.

The manual effort required to set up dynamic testing methods such as feedback-based fuzzing, presents a major barrier to adoption to many dev teams. CI Spark obliterates this barrier by automating the most labor-intensive parts of AI-powered white-box testing, which is identifying relevant entry points (e.g., an API that handles user data) and developing tests that are tailored to their structure.

In this webinar excerpt, our colleague Peter Samarin demonstrates how our prototype pollution bug detectors were able to uncover a highly severe CVE in the popular JavaScript library protobufjs. This finding puts affected applications at risk of remote code execution and denial of service attacks.
  |  By Code Intelligence
Our colleagues Peter Samarin, Norbert Schneider and Fabian Meumertzheim recently built a new bug detector enabling our JavaScript fuzzing engine Jazzer.js to identify Prototype Pollution. This work is now bearing its first fruits: As part of our ongoing collaboration with Google’s OSS-Fuzz, Jazzer.js recently uncovered a new Prototype Pollution vulnerability in protobuf.js (CVE-2023-36665). This finding puts affected applications at risk of remote code execution and denial of service attacks.
