This is a whitepaper discussing CVE-2020-1349 where a remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Outlook 2019 version 16.0.12624.20424 when it fails to properly handle objects in memory.
0cbeab94a42718d9dc0fbddcb25e670799fb9171ff9f4aa0d640945941711759PatrIoT provides a four-stage IoT vulnerability research methodology built on top of four key elements: logical attack surface decomposition, compilation of top 100 weaknesses, lightweight risk scoring, and step-by-step penetration testing guidelines. The proposed methodology is evaluated with multiple IoT products. The results indicate that PatrIoT allows cyber security practitioners without much experience to advance vulnerability research activities quickly and reduces the risk of critical IoT penetration testing steps being overlooked.

d8182cfe16d9ccbd8e7da1be7700730af253ceafe0069e08c13e7dd297ae1bfcOver the past year, Trail of Bits was engaged by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to investigate the extent to which blockchains are truly decentralized. They focused primarily on the two most popular blockchains: Bitcoin and Ethereum. They also investigated proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchains and Byzantine fault tolerant consensus protocols in general. This report provides a high-level summary of results from the academic literature, as well as their novel research on software centrality and the topology of the Bitcoin consensus network.

The author calls the technique and protocol "DIRECTIVEFOUR". This issue affects Cisco SMB and Sx Series switches.
4b5d4d8cfa4b802b87cad15d22893764dd635937e23e58bc76e7fa4673c00370Scripting languages like JavaScript are being integrated into commercial software to support easy file modification. For example, Adobe Acrobat accepts JavaScript to dynamically manipulate PDF files. To bridge the gap between the high-level scripts and the low-level languages (like C/C++) used to implement the software, a binding layer is necessary to transfer data and transform representations. However, due to the complexity of two sides, the binding code is prone to inconsistent semantics and security holes, which lead to severe vulnerabilities. Existing efforts for testing binding code merely focus on the script side, and thus miss bugs that require special program native inputs. In this paper, the researchers propose cooperative mutation, which modifies both the script code and the program native input to trigger bugs in binding code.

1961b146927a5d663ba288e9e0655edeb281a7f9333b4a2e556204df1aadc496Whitepaper that discusses passive inter-modulation sources and cancellation methods. When two or more signals of different frequencies pass through a nonlinear system, intermodulation distortion (IMD) occurs, resulting in the formation of spurious distortion signals. IMD is most commonly found in active circuits of a radio system, but it can also be found in passive wireless components such as lters, transmission lines, connectors, antennas, attenuators, and so on, especially when transmit power is quite high. Passive intermodulation (PIM) distortion is the name given to the IMD in the latter scenario. With the evolution of radio systems and the scarcity of radio spectrum, PIM interference is being recognized as a potential stumbling block to a radio network's maximum capacity. This article classifies the PIM sources in BS radio systems into two categories, internal and external sources. Internal sources are the radio's passive components such lters, transmission lines, connections, antennas, and so on. External sources, on the other hand, are passive items that are located outside of the BS antenna but inside the RF signal path, such as metallic and rusted objects in the antenna near eld. The high power current flowing through such passive devices can cause nonlinear behavior, resulting in IMD for both types of sources. Also, a review of PIM mitigation techniques is presented in the article.
