Impact of Shared Code on Vulnerability Patching
- galapago 11y agoIs it similar to "ReDeBug: Finding Unpatched Code Clones in Entire OS Distributions" [1] ? https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~dbrumley/pdf/Jang,%20Agrawal,%20Brumley_2012_ReDeBug%20Finding%20Unpatched%20Code%20Clones%20in%20Entire%20OS%20Distributions.pdf https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~dbrumley/pdf/Jang,%20Agrawal,%20B...
- notacoward 11y agoFYI: this doesn't seem to be about what most of us would think of as shared code - the same .so or .dll mapped into multiple processes' address spaces. Rather, it's about code that's copied between programs, or between versions/instances of the same program. Still interesting, but perhaps not quite what people would expect.
