Most Windows APIs actually were designed, unlike POSIX.

The sad part here is that Microsoft knows much better about this stuff. So it's not like they don't have the know-how, it just looks like the PMs just didn't care. I can only assume that no part of the MS SDL was applied to

That'll create an intermediate dict (due to the unpacking) for Python <3.6 and then another dict. a.update(b) does neither. It also has different semantics from a.update(b). The unpacking way will explode when both a and b contain t

Because (m)alloc predates mmap by a decade or so [1], and you expressly don't want stack-like allocation semantics when using malloc (otherwise you'd just put it on a/the stack). [1] And you cannot have more than one heap wit

That one is maybe not the best example, since len(unicodedata.normalize('NFC', "é")) == 1 Though I don't know any "normal" character that requires composition ad-hoc that could serve as a better example.

Some security paper showed ARM disassembly of the issue, although I'm not sure if that was this specific issue or just another "strncmp-induced" issue. (Btw. there are many smaller Java VMs for stuff like Java Card and JEFF

A good example is something like doing a "cp -a". To preserve hardlinks you'll need a mapping, trying to free that at exit can and will take time. This was an actual bug in the coreutils.

Yep, even if they had used memcmp/strncmp correctly the AMT would still be vulnerable to a timing attack here, which is probably even easy, because it runs on a low-power system with, I assume, not much background activity.

The ME itself is not compromised. Arbitrary code execution on the ME would mean total control of the host, i.e. privileges above any software you can run on a computer.

Toy SoCs, like those used in almost every single-board computer, have bad I/O, which makes them poorly suited to general-purpose clustering. Also, general-purpose clustering is not something people strive to bother with. Especially not

OpenSPARC is GPL. And OpenSPARC means the T1/T2 designs (high throughput, very low single-threaded performance) which are useless outside their niche.

IPMI normally has a dedicated NIC (well, on some crappy boards it doesn't), which tends not to be connected to public networks.

A small probe, like the P6021 (which I own [0]) is pretty small. The transformer itself is tiny; there is only a small PCB in the handle with some frequency compensation. (However it is said that these are difficult to manufacture - more so
