USB-Tastatur kapert Linux-Kern


ChromeOS-Entwickler Kees Cook hat beim Experimentieren mit USB-Endgeräten zwölf Schwachstellen im Code des Linux Kernels entdeckt, der für die Interaktion mit HIDs (Human Interface Devices) zuständig ist. Der gravierendste Fehler kann dabei eine Speicherverletzung auslösen, wenn das USB-Gerät mehr "Report ID" Felder generiert, als der Kernel erwartet. Einen entsprechenden Patch, der das Problem behebt, hat Cook ebenfalls vorgelegt

With $7.17 Billion Nokia Buy, Microsoft Brings Its Trojan Horse Home


Microsoft is paying about $5 billion to buy a majority of Nokia’s cellphone business, while shelling out another $2.17 billion to license the struggling Finnish company’s patent portfolio. And none of this should surprise you.

With this $7.17 billion play, Microsoft has redoubled its efforts to compete with Apple and Google in the smartphone game, nabbing a handset maker that can more closely combine its Windows Phone operating system with the hardware that runs it, and expanding an already massive smartphone-related patent portfolio that can jockey with rivals in other ways. But it has also bought itself the new CEO it so dearly needs: Stephen Elop, the former head of Microsoft’s business division who left Redmond in September 2010 for the top post at Nokia.

Thai prosecutors to issue arrest warrant for Red Bull heir Vorayuth Yoovidhya


Thai prosecutors have said they will issue an arrest warrant for an heir of the Red Bull energy drink creator who failed to show up to hear charges against him in a fatal hit-and-run case that sparked nationwide outrage.

Vorayuth Yoovidhya, 28, is accused of being behind the wheel of his Ferrari sports car when it collided with an on-duty policeman in the early hours of 3 September 2012.

"Investigators will issue an arrest warrant for the suspect tomorrow and he can be arrested anywhere in Thailand," Reuchai Krairerk, a senior public prosecutor at Bangkok South criminal court, said on Monday.
