  • Publication number: 20250217496
    Abstract: A method for detecting an attempted cyber attack is described, the method being implemented by a computer, the attack exploiting a vulnerability in a function to be protected running in a process of a user space of said computer, where launching of the execution of the function to be protected results in the execution, before the attack, of a function of the kernel. The method includes executing a mitigation policy in the kernel, the mitigation policy being associated with the function of the kernel and being loaded into a namespace of the kernel associated with the process and dedicated to security, and sending, to a security management server, a message comprising a datum representative of the process.

  • Publication number: 20240152602
    Abstract: A method installs a mitigation program in the kernel of a computing device to mitigate a vulnerability liable to affect a function to be protected running in a user space of the computing device (EQ). The method includes sending a request containing a unique identifier of the vulnerability to a security server, obtaining, in response to the request, a description file describing the program, obtaining an object code for the mitigation program identified in the description file, publishing a link to resolve at least one symbol of the object code in order to generate an executable code for the mitigation program specific to the device, and installing the executable code in the kernel of the device. The device includes means for ensuring that the mitigation program mitigates the vulnerability only for that function to be protected.

  • Publication number: 20230195884
    Abstract: Methods for securing a system call and methods for implementing an associated security policy are described, along with devices for carrying out such methods. The securing method secures at least one system call triggered by a current process of a user space of a software system. This method is implemented by a kernel of the software system before executing at least one operation triggered by the at least one system call and includes obtaining at least one namespace of the kernel, the namespace being dedicated to the security management associated with the current process, executing a security policy associated with the operation and recorded in an area of the kernel defined in the namespace, obtaining at least one ancestor namespace of the current process dedicated to the security management, executing a security policy associated with the operation and recorded in an area of the kernel defined in the ancestor namespace, and processing the system call according to a result of these executions.
