The number one challenge identified by Federal agencies in migrating to the cloud is expanding security measures and policies to cover cloud environments. To date, confidence is hard to find. Only 35% of Federal IT leaders believe that the security of their existing private cloud environments is excellent, and this drops to 21% for public cloud. They have similar concerns for the security of data that has to move between physical and virtual environments.

Over the past month, we have all watched with dismay as the islands of the Caribbean and coasts of Texas and Florida were hit with devastating rains and high-speed winds. In the days leading up to the storms’ landfalls, some of the most talented scientific minds deployed astounding levels of technology to assess and communicate the severity of the approaching threats—despite the fact that severe weather is notoriously unpredictable, with inherent uncertainty that makes truly accurate assessment of the threat nearly impossible.

In this blog post we would like to share how we discovered multiple Embedded Open Type (EOT) font vulnerabilities by using a combination of dumb and intelligent open source fuzzers.
