- Adobe releases a mass of security updates
I'm just linking to Adobe's top-level security page, so this story won't age well - as of today, there's 11 announcements across Adobe products that were published on August 13th, and many of these announcements has a collection of vulnerabilities under it's own banner. Lots of arbitrary code execution, denial of service, memory leaks - this was either a common library was repaired, or a new tool was brought into the SDLC and found a bunch of errors that hadn't been recognized before...or maybe something else?
- Security and RFID smart cards…
This paper goes through a collection of issues in RFID cards that includes an encrypted backdoor, which once broken results in being able to easily clone the cards at scale.
We think of depending on hardware things like smart cards as a reliable security factor - it's just a benign card, right?
- MakeShift: A Security Analysis of Shimano wireless bike shifters
We've talked a few times about not just the IOT devices in your car, but the network of these devices. Networks have come to some higher-end bicycles over the last few years as well, including Shimano's Di2 gear shifting system. Among the issues they found an ability to jam another cyclist's shifting system - one could call such a capability "problematic" in a bike race, not alone day-to-day...
