[$] The Thunderclap vulnerabilities
Wednesday March 6, 2019. 10:42 PM , from LWN.net
It should come as no surprise that plugging untrusted devices into a
computer system can lead to a wide variety of bad outcomes—though often enough it works just fine. We have reported on a number of these kinds of vulnerabilities (e.g. BadUSB in 2014) along the way. So it will not shock readers to find out that another vulnerability of this type has been discovered, though it may not sit well that, even after years of vulnerable plug-in buses, there are still no solid protections against these rogue devices. This most-recent entrant into this space targets the Thunderbolt interface; the vulnerabilities found have been dubbed 'Thunderclap'.
