Quarkslab was hired by OSTIF to perform a security assessment of OpenVPN 2.4.0. We focused on code and cryptography assessment. Results are briefly described in this blog post, and full report is available at its end.

Cappsule was released a few weeks ago and we're happy of the positive attention received. However, relying on a custom hypervisor make its usage quite difficult across various distros. This blogpost explains how the same goals can be achieved on Linux with usual software. Impatient readers can directly checkout NoFear's GitHub.

At Quarkslab, we don't only break software and exploit vulnerabilities, we also try to create innovative and efficient solutions to counter them. Cappsule is one of those solutions.

This is the last part of our blogpost series about Xen security . This time we write about a vulnerability we found (XSA-182) (CVE-2016-6258) and his exploitation on Qubes OS project.
