. This representation enables us to decompose a known vulnerability and extrapolate it to a code base, such that functions potentially suffering from the same flaw can be suggested to the analyst. We evaluate our method on the source code of four popular open-source projects: LibTIFF, FFmpeg, Pidgin and Asterisk

learning. Starting from a known vulnerability, these patterns can be exploited to guide the auditing of code and to identify potentially vulnerable code with similar characteristics—a process we refer to as vulnerability extrapolation. We empirically demonstrate the capabilities of our method in different

of the risks is not linked to perceived vulnerability or to useful strategies in identifying phishing emails. Rather, our data suggest that people can manage the risks that they are most familiar with, but don’t appear to extrapolate to be wary of unfamiliar risks. We explore several strategies that people use,

and assessing the populationlevel impact on a vulnerable seabird, the Black-footed Albatross (Phoebastria nigripes) in the central North Pacific. We develop an assessment method that uses observer data to estimate bycatch for one fleet and then uses scenario analysis to estimate bycatch for remaining fleets

The paper attempts to highlight the vulnerabilities of India’s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure to both natural and man made disasters and extrapolates its effect on national security. Using the existing organizational structures, a framework is recommended

capacity of the buildings subjected to seismic action. Eighty-seven residential build-ings in a small target area in Basel were evaluated. The results are vulner-ability functions that express the expected damage as a function of the spec-tral displacement. In order to extrapolate the results to other

Because most developing countries depend heavily on agriculture, the effects of global warming on productive croplands are likely to threaten both the welfare of the population and the economic development of the countries. Tropical regions in the developing world are particularly vulnerable

Software vulnerabilities still constitute a high security risk and there is an ongoing race to patch known bugs. However, especially in closed-source software, there is no straight-forward way (in contrast to source code analysis) to find buggy code parts, even if the bug was publicly disclosed

Abstract. Habitat conditions may determine locations of patchily distributed smallmouth bass nests in lakes, since young smallmouth bass are fragile and are therefore vulnerable to suboptimal physical characteristics in their typically variable nesting area, the littoral zone. Knowing which

vulnerability of an instruction scheduler by 2-3x. The conservatism stems from two key sources: from lack of detail in abstract performance models and from what we term Y-Bits, a result of the single-pass simulation methodology that is typical of ACE analysis. We also examine the efficacy of applying ACE
