Software reuse cuts both ways

An empirical analysis of its relationship with security vulnerabilities

Software reuse is a widely adopted practice among both researchers and practitioners. The relation between security and reuse can go both ways: a system can become more secure by relying on mature dependencies, or more insecure by exposing a larger attack surface via exploitab ...

Reuse is a common and often-advocated software development practice. Significant efforts have been invested into facilitating it, leading to advancements such as software forges, package managers, and the widespread integration of open source components into proprietary softwa ...

VulinOSS

A dataset of security vulnerabilities in open-source systems

Examining the different characteristics of open-source software in relation to security vulnerabilities, can provide the research community with findings that can lead to the development of more secure systems. We present a dataset where the reported vulnerabilities of 8694 op ...

Cloud computing relies on virtualization technologies to provide computer resource elasticity and scalability. Despite its benefits, virtualization technologies come with serious concerns in terms of security. Although existing work focuses on specific vulnerabilities and atta ...
