The two languages, which are commonly used in a multitude of applications and operating systems, are popular, flexible, and versatile – and often vulnerable to exploitation. Sometimes the solution is to code using a safer language like Java. However, this is not always the →
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/05/23/enisa_proposes_internet_of_things_security_standards/ European network and infosec agency ENISA has taken a look at Internet of Things security, and doesn’t much like what it sees. So it’s mulling a vendor’s nightmare that the US and UK dared not approach: security regulation – at least the minimal regulation of testing and certification. IoT security needs bottom-to-top baseline requirements, →
https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2017/05/the_future_of_r.html Ransomware isn’t new, but it’s increasingly popular and profitable.

As a result, the trend away from legacy single-channel isolated systems to applications utilizing multi-channel isolation has led to the introduction of new isolation components. Many of these applications →
http://www.zdnet.com/article/its-not-just-windows-anymore-samba-has-a-major-smb-bug/ The other week, Microsoft got its security teeth kicked in when an old SMB security hole was exploited by the WannaCry ransomware attack.

https://opensource.com/article/17/5/introduction-ext4-filesystem?sc_cid=7016000000127ECAAY The EXT4 filesystem primarily improves performance, reliability, and capacity. To improve reliability, metadata and journal checksums were added. To meet various mission-critical requirements, the filesystem timestamps were improved with the addition of intervals down to nanoseconds. The addition of two high-order bits in the timestamp field defers the Year 2038 problem until 2446—for EXT4 filesystems, at least. →
