A vulnerability discovered in SCADA could grant a remote attacker control over critical infrastructure, researchers said on Wednesday.
Buffer overflows have long been a primary vector of attack against computer systems — and the rise of local buffer overflow vulnerabilities and zero-day attacks makes it a problem that's likely to grow more troublesome. Researchers last week revealed an unpatched buffer overflow bug in Windows that could allow an attacker to take control of an affected machine.

Citect which this week came under fire for a vulnerability in its SCADA software, commonly used in critical infrastructure, has reassured its customers that a breach is extremely unlikely. VMware has released updates to its hosted virtualisation software products that shore up a variety of vulnerabilities. A U.S. Department of Homeland Security-sponsored project has not only discovered that the quality of open-source software code has improved significantly over the past two years, it has debunked a widely held assumption that longer function strings within source code are associated with an increased number of code defects. A new industry alliance promises to pave the way for more secure software. Is SAFECode what we've been waiting for? Researchers have uncovered a number of ways attackers could force a PC to cold boot. Better keep that heating on. Critical ActiveX control flaws have been detected in the Yahoo! Music Jukebox, which like vulnerabilities reported last week in MySpace and Facebook image uploaders, may permit attackers to take control of users' PCs.
