  • Increasing Automation in the Backporting of Linux Drivers Using Coccinelle
    Increasing Automation in the Backporting of Linux Drivers Using Coccinelle Luis R. Rodriguez Julia Lawall Rutgers University/SUSE Labs Sorbonne Universites/Inria/UPMC/LIP6´ [email protected] [email protected] [email protected], [email protected] Abstract—Software is continually evolving, to fix bugs and to a kernel upgrade. Upgrading a kernel may also require add new features. Industry users, however, often value stability, experience to understand what features to enable, disable, or and thus may not be able to update their code base to the tune to meet existing deployment criteria. In the worst case, latest versions. This raises the need to selectively backport new some systems may rely on components that have not yet been features to older software versions. Traditionally, backporting has merged into the mainline Linux kernel, potentially making it been done by cluttering the backported code with preprocessor impossible to upgrade the kernel without cooperation from the directives, to replace behaviors that are unsupported in an earlier version by appropriate workarounds. This approach however component vendor or a slew of partners that need to collaborate involves writing a lot of error-prone backporting code, and results on developing a new productized image for a system. As an in implementations that are hard to read and maintain. We example, development for 802.11n AR9003 chipset support consider this issue in the context of the Linux kernel, for which on the mainline ath9k device driver started on March 20, older versions are in wide use. We present a new backporting 2010 with an early version of the silicon, at which point the strategy that relies on the use of a backporting compatability most recent major release of the Linux kernel was v2.6.32.

  • KINTSUGI Identifying & Addressing Challenges in Embedded Binary
    KINTSUGI Identifying & addressing challenges in embedded binary security jos wetzels Supervisors: Prof. dr. Sandro Etalle Ali Abbasi, MSc. Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) June 2017 Jos Wetzels: Kintsugi, Identifying & addressing challenges in embed- ded binary security, © June 2017 To my family Kintsugi ("golden joinery"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. —[254] ABSTRACT Embedded systems are found everywhere from consumer electron- ics to critical infrastructure. And with the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), these systems are increasingly interconnected. As a re- sult, embedded security is an area of growing concern. Yet a stream of offensive security research, as well as real-world incidents, contin- ues to demonstrate how vulnerable embedded systems actually are. This thesis focuses on binary security, the exploitation and miti- gation of memory corruption vulnerabilities. We look at the state of embedded binary security by means of quantitative and qualitative analysis and identify several gap areas and show embedded binary security to lag behind the general purpose world significantly. We then describe the challenges and limitations faced by embedded exploit mitigations and identify a clear open problem area that war- rants attention: deeply embedded systems. Next, we outline the cri- teria for a deeply embedded exploit mitigation baseline. Finally, as a first step to addressing this problem area, we designed, implemented and evaluated µArmor : an exploit mitigation baseline for deeply em- bedded systems.

  • Introducting Innovations in Open Source Projects
    Introducing Innovations into Open Source Projects Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) am Fachbereich Mathematik und Informatik der Freien Universität Berlin von Sinan Christopher Özbek Berlin August 2010 2 Gutachter: Professor Dr. Lutz Prechelt, Freie Universität Berlin Professor Kevin Crowston, Syracuse University Datum der Disputation: 17.12.2010 4 Abstract This thesis presents a qualitative study using Grounded Theory Methodology on the question of how to change development processes in Open Source projects. The mailing list communication of thirteen medium-sized Open Source projects over the year 2007 was analyzed to answer this question. It resulted in eight main concepts revolving around the introduction of innovation, i.e. new processes, services, and tools, into the projects including topics such as the migration to new systems, the question on where to host services, how radical Open Source projects can change their ways, and how compliance to processes and conventions is enforced. These are complemented with (1) the result of five case studies in which innovation introductions were conducted with Open Source projects, and with (2) a theoretical comparison of the results of this thesis to four theories and scientific perspectives from the organizational and social sciences such as Path Dependence, the Garbage Can model, Social-Network analysis, and Actor-Network theory. The results show that innovation introduction is a multifaceted phenomenon, of which this thesis discusses the most salient conceptual aspects. The thesis concludes with practical advice for innovators and specialized hints for the most popular innovations. 5 6 Acknowledgements I want to thank the following individuals for contributing to the completion of this thesis: • Lutz Prechelt for advising me over these long five years.

  • Impacting the Bioscience Progress by Backporting Software for Bio-Linux
    Impacting the bioscience progress by backporting software for Bio-Linux Sasa Paporovic [email protected] v0.9 What is Bio-Linux and what is it good for - also its drawbacks: If someone says to use or to have a Linux this is correct as like it is imprecise. It does not exist a Linux as full functional operating system by itself. What was originally meant by the term Linux was the operating system core[1]. The so called kernel, or in a case of a Linux operating system the Linux kernel. It is originally designed and programmed by Linus Torvalds, who is also today the developer in chef or to say it with his words, he is the “alpha-male” of all developers[2]. Anyway, what we have today are Distributions[3]. It has become common to call them simply “a Linux”. This means that there are organizations out there, mostly private, some funded and some other commercial, which gather all what is needed to design around the Linux kernel a full functional operating system. This targets mostly Software, but also web and service infrastructure. Some of them have a history that is nearly as long as the Linux kernel is alive, like Debian. Some others are younger like Ubuntu and some more others are very young, like Bio-Linux[4]. The last Linux, the Bio-Linux, especially its latest version Bio-Linux 7 we are focusing here[5]. In year 2006 Bio-Linux with the work of Tim Booth[42] and team gives its rising[6] and provide an operating system that was and still specialized in providing a bioinformatic specific software environment for the working needs in this corner of bioscience.

  • Oracle Unbreakable Linux: an Overview
    Oracle Unbreakable Linux: An Overview An Oracle White Paper September 2010 Oracle Unbreakable Linux: An Overview INTRODUCTION Oracle Unbreakable Linux is a support program that provides enterprises with industry-leading global support for the Linux operating system at significantly lower costs. The support program, which is available for any customer whether or not they’re running Oracle Unbreakable Linux currently includes support for three architectures: x86; x86-64 (e.g. the latest Intel Xeon and AMD Opteron chips, as used by most Linux customers); and Linux Itanium (ia64). The program offers support for any existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux installations and for new installations of Oracle Linux, an open source Linux operating system that is fully compatible— both source and binary—with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Complete Support for the Complete Software Stack Oracle’s industry-leading support organization offers expertise that looks at the entire application stack running on top of Linux; only Oracle delivers complete support for the complete software stack—database, middleware, applications, management tools, and the operating system itself. By delivering enterprise-class quality support for Linux, Oracle addresses a key enterprise requirement from customers. When problems occur in a large, complex enterprise environment, it’s often impossible to reproduce such occurrences with very simple test cases. Customers need a support vendor who understands their full environment, and has the expertise to diagnose and resolve the problem by drawing from their knowledge of and familiarity with their framework, as opposed to requesting a simple reproducible test case. Another customer demand is for bug fixes to happen in a timely manner, as customers cannot always afford to wait for months to get a fix delivered to them.
