On ARM 'security hole' is ofla cousin:

If I've got this straight, an attacker would have to find a specific bug in the device's programs: - a null pointer under reproducible conditions - before a STM, or better still, a looping store - and where arbitrary data can be inserted And then be able to force a reset or execute some other vector. And for it to work the device mustn't: allow writes to zero page, or use ROM directly (or flash-ROM which isn't directly writable), or put its vector table elsewhere. I'd have thought finding other security bugs might be easier. Loris on 25/4/07 7:43PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]
