Interaction of Educational Communities of Higher Education in the University Scientific Area by D. Yu. Narkhov

“…The study of research practices revealed the need to formalize the status of the “personnel reserve of science”, the dissemination of innovative practices of large universities, the organization of a unified system of regional investment in student science, the inclusion of regions in the sphere of influence of world-class research and educational centers. Four groups of problem areas are identified as typological bases of scientific interaction: the number of participants in communications; the chronotopе of scientific interaction; motivation, opportunities and positions in science; the nature of interaction. …”

Java deserialization gadget chain discovery method based on hybrid analysis by Yongxing WU, Libo CHEN, Kaida JIANG

“…Java deserialization vulnerabilities have become a common threat to Java application security nowadays.Finding out the gadget chain determines whether this type of vulnerability can be exploited.Due to the large code space of Java applications and dependent libraries and the polymorphism of Java itself, manual analysis of Java deserialization gadget chains consumes a lot of time and effort and it is highly dependent on the experienced knowledge.Therefore, it is crucial to study how to efficiently and accurately automate the discovery of gadget chains.Java deserialization gadget chain discovery method based on hybrid analysis was proposed.Call graph based on the variable declaration type was constructed, and then the deserialization entry functions that may reach the dangerous functions were screened using the call graph analysis.The screened entry functions were used as the entry point of the hybrid information flow analysis.The hybrid information flow analysis was carried out for both pointer and tainted variables.The tainted objects created implicitly were marked.The tainted information and the pointer information were propagated simultaneously to construct the hybrid information flow graph.The reachability of external taint data propagation to the dangerous function was judged based on the hybrid information flow graph.The corresponding deserialization gadget chain was constructed according to the taint propagation path.The hybrid analysis took into account the efficiency of call graph analysis and the accuracy of hybrid information flow analysis.The corresponding static analysis tool, namely GadgetSearch, was implemented based on the proposed hybrid analysis method.In the experimental evaluation, GadgetSearch had lower false positive and lower false negative than the existing tool GadgetInspector on four datasets of Ysoserial, Marshalsec, Jackson historical CVE, and XStream historical CVE.Additionally, GadgetSearch also found multiple undisclosed gadget chains.The experimental results show that the proposed method can efficiently and accurately discover the Java deserialization gadget chain in multiple practical Java applications.…”
