In recent years, incidents like the Heartbleed bug, the WannaCry ransomware, and the Firefox memory safety vulnerabilities have exposed severe flaws in system security.
Heartbleed exploited a vulnerability in OpenSSL, allowing attackers to access sensitive data through a buffer over-read. Similarly, WannaCry spread rapidly and caused widespread disruption by exploiting a memory-related flaw in the SMB protocol. In 2023, Firefox addressed numerous high-severity memory safety bugs that could have been exploited to run arbitrary code or cause system crashes.
These cases underscore the persistent risks of poor memory management, where flaws in memory handling can lead to significant security breaches. CPU-enforced memory tagging has emerged as a promising solution to enhance memory safety and protect systems from such risks. Read more.
Lattice Introduces Logic-Optimized General Purpose FPGAs
Lattice Semiconductor added its logic-optimized Lattice Certus-NX FPGA devices to its FPGA portfolio. The Certus-NX-28 and Certus-NX-09 support power efficiency, small size, and adaptable migration preferences. The solutions are built on the Lattice Nexus FPGA platform. Read more.
MiTAC’s MA1 Serves as the People-Monitoring Hub at this Year’s Paris Olympics
The Olympics have arrived in Paris. For most, that’s a cause for celebration. But if your task is to monitor the flow of people, say for transportation needs, you likely have your hands full. The authorities who run the Paris Metro believe they are up to the task of effectively controlling the flow of people in and out of each subway car during the Olympics using a people-flow monitoring system. Such a system provides real-time people flow guidance information. Read more.
Avnet Launches Tria Technologies to Merge its Compute Design and Manufacturing Offerings
安富利 launched Tria to merge its compute design and manufacturing offerings. “The new brand embodies Avnet’s unique ability to deliver standalone modular embedded compute solutions in a world where OEMs are increasingly looking to move from their own chip-down manufacturing to part- or full- pre-made embedded compute platforms,” said Thomas Staudinger, president of Embedded Solutions, Avnet. “It brings together all of Avnet’s compute design and manufacturing capabilities under one brand.” Read more.
