Understanding, detecting, and fixing buffer overflows: a critical software security threat

Buffer overflows are one of the oldest and most dangerous vulnerabilities in software security. A heap buffer overflow was the second most exploited vulnerability in 2023. Over the years, it has enabled countless attacks, often with severe consequences, such as Cloudbleed in 2017. Despite advances in security practices, buffer overflows continue to pose significant risks, especially in software written in low-level languages like C and C++.

How to detect more bugs in AUTOSAR Applications and enable SiL testing by using a simulator

Testing Classic AUTOSAR applications has long been a significant challenge due to the reliance on hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) setups, which are costly, complex, and hard to scale. Code Intelligence’s new lightweight AUTOSAR simulator revolutionizes this process by enabling entire AUTOSAR applications to run on x86 Linux systems, thus facilitating software-in-the-loop (SiL) testing.
