protobufjs has overlong UTF-8 decoding

Summary protobufjs includes a minimal UTF-8 decoder used in non-Node and fallback decoding paths. The affected decoder accepted overlong UTF-8 byte sequences and decoded them to their canonical characters instead of replacing them. The issue concerns overlong encodings and code points outside the...

A Novel Byte-Level Flow-To-Image Encoding Method for Network Intrusion Detection Systems

Network-based Intrusion Detection Systems IDS are predominantly trained on tabular flow records, whose one-dimensional representations limit convolutional architectures from exploiting inter-feature spatial correlations. This paper presents a novel byte-level flow-to-image encoding method that...

Byte-Level Generative Predictions for Forensics Multimedia Carving

Digital forensic investigations often face significant challenges when recovering fragmented multimedia files that lack file system metadata. While traditional file carving relies on signatures and discriminative deep learning models for fragment classification, these methods cannot reconstruct o...

Background: Cyber-attacks have evolved rapidly in recent years, many individuals and business owners have been affected by cyber-attacks in various ways. Cyber-attacks include various threats such as ransomware, malware, phishing, and Denial of Service DoS-related attacks. Challenges: Traditional...

Rubber Mallet: a Study of High Frequency Localized Bit Flips and Their Impact on Security

The increasing density of modern DRAM has heightened its vulnerability to Rowhammer attacks, which induce bit flips by repeatedly accessing specific memory rows. This paper presents an analysis of bit flip patterns generated by advanced Rowhammer techniques that bypass existing hardware defenses...
