Dec 6, 2013, 10 am, SBA Research Zhendong Ma, Security and privacy engineering – design and build secure and privacy-preserving computer systems Computer systems are increasingly integrated into our society and creating a parallel cyber space. Consequently, we become more and more dependent and hence vulnerable to the security and privacy… Read More
Dimitris Simos gives a talk about “An Overview of Code-based Cryptography” at the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) on December 5th. Abstract: In this talk, we address cryptographic schemes based on a particular type of alternative cryptography originating from error-correcting codes, called code-based cryptography. In this emerging field of cryptography… Read More

Together with sipgate and ISMK Stralsund, Gabriel Gegenhuber, researcher at SBA Research and University of Vienna, and Michael Pucher, researcher at SBA research, discovered and investigated a vulnerability in the Voice of LTE (VoLTE) stack that is broadly used within MediaTek-based smartphones. ∞
In the Mediatek modem, there is a possible system crash due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to remote denial of service, if a UE has connected to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. ∞
