The Ugly Duckling in factoring aka the filtering steps part I

People that knows me well are well aware that prime numbers have been my obsession since my childhood and they are source of continue interest for me. Actually thanks to cryptography they are a relevant part of my everyday life. One of the most important problem in cryptography since the discover...

MsMpEng: UIF decoder will spin forever processing sparse blocks

The UIF Universal Image Format is a proprietary file format used by the old shareware utility MagicISO. Microsoft have a dedicated unpacker for UIF that runs as SYSTEM on all filesystem activity !?!. The UIF format has an index structure at a fixed offset from the end of the file, with a pointer ...

CVE-2015-8888

CVE-2015-8888 affects the Qualcomm component in Android on Nexus 5. An integer overflow in the file app/aboot/aboot.c can be triggered by crafted block count and block size in a sparse header, allowing bypass of access restrictions. This is tied to Android prior to 2016-07-05 (Android bug 2882246...

CVE-2015-8888: Undefined Security Weakness

Integer overflow in app/aboot/aboot.c in the Qualcomm components in Android before 2016-07-05 on Nexus 5 devices allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted block count and block size of a sparse header, aka Android internal bug 28822465 and Qualcomm internal bug CR81393...

nodejs-qs: Denial-of-Service Memory Exhaustion

The nodejs-qs module has the ability to create sparse arrays during parsing. By specifying a high index in a querystring parameter it is possible to create a large array that will eventually take up all the allocated memory of the running process, resulting in a crash...
