Mozilla: Proxy bypass using automount and autofs
Tor Browser before 7.0.9 on macOS and Linux allows remote attackers to bypass the intended anonymity feature and discover a client IP address via vectors involving a crafted web site that leverages file:// mishandling in Firefox, aka TorMoil. NOTE: Tails is unaffected.
Firefox proxy settings can be bypassed by using the automount feature with autofs to create a mount point on the local file system. Content can be loaded from this mounted file system directly using a `file:` URI, bypassing configured proxy settings. This issue only affects OS X in default configuration; on Linux systems, autofs must also be installed for the vulnerability to occur.

(CVE-2017-16541) Proxy bypass caused by autofs on Mac, Linux
Tor Project received a third-party report of a method for content pages to bypass the proxy. STR:
Create a web page with the following:
Run a "tcpdump port 111" on 12.12.12.12. UDP events are observed that did not pass through the browser proxy.
(A demo is at https://pearlcrescent.com/tor/am.html)
I also observed the same thing for tags. This behavior apparently is caused by automount/autofs, which is enabled by default on macOS and installable on Linux.
More information from a colleague:
My quick test on OSX 10.12.x shows that Chrome and Safari (latest versions) are not affected.
It is also interesting that I see the following message in the browser console after the page load completes (i.e., after it gives up on the a

One Bad Apple Spoils the Barrel: Understanding the Security Risks Introduced by Third-Party Components in IoT Firmware
## Abstract
Currently, the development of IoT firmware heavily depends on third-party components (TPCs) to improve development efficiency. Nevertheless, TPCs are not secure, and the vulnerabilities in TPCs will influence the security of IoT firmware. Existing works pay less attention to the vulnerabilities caused by TPCs, and we still lack a comprehensive understanding of the security impact of TPC vulnerability against firmware. To fill in the knowledge gap, we design and implement , which leverages syntactical features and control-flow graph features to detect the TPCs in firmware, and then recognizes the corresponding vulnerabilities. Based on , we present the first l
