If I throw a coin high up in the air, I know the outcome — it will either be heads or tails. However, I can’t predict which it will be. I will certainly be able to guess with a 50% chance, but I can’t be 100% certain. If I were to roll a die, my certainty becomes less (1 in 6). However, I still know what the output could be. Computers are great at many things, especially predictability. They are deterministic and creating a truly random number is impossible.

Vulnerability Management refers to the systematic approach to the identification, classification, and remediation of vulnerabilities across various cyber systems.

Software is an intricate part of our lives, with its presence in nearly every device and aspect of technology. However, the software can also be vulnerable to malicious threats, given that the code within it can contain flaws. As a result, software vulnerability has been on the rise over the years and is likely to continue increasing in 2023. Organizations and businesses alike need to remain proactive about their security measures when it comes to their systems, software, and data management.

OpenSSH’s newly released version 9.2p1 contains a fix for a double-free vulnerability. Given the severe potential impact of the vulnerability on OpenSSH servers (DoS/RCE) and its high popularity in the industry, this security fix prompted the JFrog Security Research team to investigate the vulnerability. This blog post provides details on the vulnerability, who is affected, and a proof-of-concept to trigger it causing a Denial of Service (DoS).

Vulnerabilities cause the majority of cybercrime. There are always new vulnerabilities appearing as software gets updated and as cyber criminals work behind the scenes to find new backdoors to organizations’ systems. In the first half of 2022 alone, 81% of incidents happened through an external exposure — either a known vulnerability or a remote desktop protocol. The sheer volume of vulnerabilities grew again in 2022, with over 25,000 recorded, and over 800 have been actively exploited.

Our long-standing partnership with Atlassian is built on our mutual commitment to providing a great developer experience. It started with our native integration within the Bitbucket Cloud UI, and today we’re incredibly excited to announce yet another new door opening in our partnership. The new Snyk integration for Jira Software will bring security and collaboration to Atlassian users at every stage of the development lifecycle.
