What product will never become obsolete?

  Identifying a product that will never become obsolete is a inspiring task due to the rapid pace of technological advancements, changing consumer preferences, and evolving market dynamics. However, certain products have demonstrated enduring value and adaptability throughout history, making them seemingly resistant to obsolescence. While no product is immune to potential replacement or transformation, several categories stand out for their resilience and timeless relevance. 1. Food and Agriculture: Food is a fundamental requirement for human survival, making agriculture an industry that's unlikely to become obsolete. While farming methods and food production technologies evolve, the need for sustenance remains constant. Innovation in agricultural practices and the development of sustainable farming techniques may change how food is produced, but the demand for nourishment will persist. 2. Healthcare and Medicine: The healthcare industry, including medical treatments, phar

Java security with Oracle is leaking

Security issues in this software have become a permanent problem for the folks at Oracle. After its acquisition, Java has become a problem for these and users, suffering many security problems that the former have not been able to solve.

On this occasion, a group of researchers has discovered that the security flaw cataloged as  CVE-2013-5838  and which was discovered in June 2013 is still available. The security experts themselves who alerted the company have once again proceeded to represent the scenario in which they discovered the vulnerability to check if it was resolved, leading to an unpleasant surprise. Taking into account that so much time has passed, we remember that the vulnerability directly affected the sandbox , allowing web applications that were executed using it to jump their limits and enjoy privileges in the system to perform certain tasks, such as , unauthorized software installation.

Although many of you already know what it consists of, sandboxes are a complement to the presence of security tools, allowing the execution of applications in a safe environment and that the modifications made or operations do not affect the system, hence the importance of this vulnerability.

To solve the problem, from Oracle they published Java SE 7 Update 40 in the month of October of that same year, however, after almost three years since the exploits were detected they are still useful.

From the company they believe that the problem does not exist

One of the experts behind the discovery affirms that the company believes that the problem is solved and that since it was reported for the first time they have not maintained contact with it.

To carry out a satisfactory exploitation, only the Click2Play function of Java must be evaded, which is responsible for ensuring that the applets do not run with total freedom on the system.

Java security brings out the colors in Oracle

While Sun Microsystems was responsible for this software, security experts agree that security was much better, or at least the people behind it took it seriously. With the arrival of Oracle the problems appeared and after so many years from the company they did not hit the key and there are many who accuse of almost abandoning the software in terms of security.
