Public Cloud

The public cloud provides the provision of cloud services in a virtualized environment, implemented through shared physical resources and accessible via a public network such as the Internet. It is opposed to the private cloud, which delimits the pool of underlying computing resources, creating a distinct cloud platform that can only be accessed by a single organization. Public couds instead provide services to multiple customers through a single shared infrastructure.

The clearest examples of cloud computing are in the public cloud model, because by definition they are available to the public. “Software as a Service” (SaaS) offers such as cloud storage and CRM are perhaps the most familiar, but the model can also be followed by the popular “Infrastructure as a Service” (IaaS) offers and “Platform as a Service” (PaaS), including web hosting and cloud-based development environments (although all of these can also exist in private clouds). Public clouds are widely used for private offers, which are less likely to require the level of infrastructure and security offered by private clouds. In any case, companies can also use public clouds to make their activities much more efficient, for example by storing non-sensitive data, online collaboration on documents and web mail.

The public cloud offers the following advantages and functions:

   ♦ Maximum scalability: cloud resources are available on demand, drawing from the large public coud basins so that applications running on the cloud respond without interruption to the oscillations of the activity;
   ♦ Convenience: public clouds bring together greater levels of resources and therefore can offer advantages related to large economies of scale. The centralized functioning and management of the underlying resources are subdivided among all the resulting cloud services, while components, such as servers, require fewer customization interventions. Some offers for the mass market can even be free for the customer, given that advertising compensates for revenue;
   ♦ “Billing” style costs: public cloud services often adopt a “pay-as-you-go” payment model, so that consumers can access the necessary resources at the right time and then pay only those used, without waste;
   ♦ Reliability: The high number of servers and networks involved in the creation of public cloud and redundant configurations make sure that in the presence of faults to a physical component, the cloud service continues to operate with the remaining components. In some cases where clouds draw resources from a variety of data centers, even if an entire data center is unlinked, there would be no consequences for individual cloud services. In other words, there is no single point of vulnerability that could jeopardize the public cloud service;
   ♦ Flexibility: on the market there are a myriad of IaaS, PaaS and SaaS services that follow the public cloud model and which are accessible as a service from any device set up for the Internet. These services can meet most computing requirements and can benefit both private and business customers. Enterprises can even integrate their public cloud services with private clouds when they need to perform sensitive business functions, creating hybrid clouds;
   ♦ Geographical independence: access to public cloud services via Internet connections ensures that the services are available wherever the customer is. This creates valuable opportunities for businesses, such as remote access to IT infrastructure (in case of emergencies, etc.) or online collaboration on documents from multiple locations.

    Posted by Stefan Kanthak via Fulldisclosure on Jan 10Hi @ll, the following is a condensed form of and . Windows Vista moved the shared start menu from "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\" to "%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\", with some shortcuts (*.lnk) "reflected" from the (immutable) component store below %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\ JFTR:...
  • Re: Multiple Security Misconfigurations and Customer Enumeration Exposure in Convercent Whistleblowing Platform (EQS Group) January 11, 2026
    Posted by Art Manion via Fulldisclosure on Jan 10Hi, CVE IDs *can* be assigned for SaaS or similarly "cloud only" software. For a period of time, there was a restriction that only the provider could make or request such an assignment. But the current CVE rules remove this restriction: 4.2.3 CNAs MUST NOT consider the […]
  • RIOT OS 2026.01-devel-317 Stack-Based Buffer Overflow in RIOT ethos Serial Frame Parser January 11, 2026
    Posted by Ron E on Jan 10A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the RIOT OS ethos utility due to missing bounds checking when processing incoming serial frame data. The vulnerability occurs in the _handle_char() function, where incoming frame bytes are appended to a fixed-size stack buffer (serial->frame) without verifying that the current write index […]
  • RIOT OS 2026.01-devel-317 Stack-Based Buffer Overflow in tapslip6 Utility via Unbounded Device Path Construction January 11, 2026
    Posted by Ron E on Jan 10A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the tapslip6 utility distributed with RIOT OS (and derived from the legacy uIP/Contiki networking tools). The vulnerability is caused by unsafe string concatenation in the devopen() function, which constructs a device path using unbounded user-controlled input. Specifically, tapslip6 uses strcpy() and strcat() […]
  • TinyOS 2.1.2 Stack-Based Buffer Overflow in mcp2200gpio January 11, 2026
    Posted by Ron E on Jan 10A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the mcp2200gpio utility due to unsafe use of strcpy() and strcat() when constructing device paths during automatic device discovery. A local attacker can trigger the vulnerability by creating a specially crafted filename under /dev/usb/, resulting in stack memory corruption and a process […]
  • TinyOS 2.1.2 printfUART Global Buffer Overflow via Unbounded Format Expansion January 11, 2026
    Posted by Ron E on Jan 10A global buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the TinyOS printfUART implementation used within the ZigBee / IEEE 802.15.4 networking stack. The issue arises from an unsafe custom sprintf() routine that performs unbounded string concatenation using strcat() into a fixed-size global buffer. The global buffer debugbuf, defined with a size […]

    Posted by Yuffie Kisaragi via Fulldisclosure on Jan 05UPDATE: Following the publication of these vulnerabilities and the subsequent CVE assignments, the CVE identifiers have now been revoked. The vendor (EQS Group) contacted the CVE Program (via a CNA) and disputed the records, stating that the affected product is an exclusively hosted SaaS platform with no customer-managed […]
  • Panda3d v1.10.16 Uncontrolled Format String in Panda3D egg-mkfont Allows Stack Memory Disclosure January 6, 2026
    Posted by Ron E on Jan 05Panda3D’s egg-mkfont utility contains an uncontrolled format string vulnerability that allows disclosure of stack-resident memory. The -gp (glyph pattern) command-line option allows users to specify a formatting pattern intended for generating glyph texture filenames. This pattern is passed directly as the format string to sprintf() without validation or sanitization. […]
