Australian researcher Silvio Cesare, PhD student at Deakin University has released a tool capable of automatically detecting bugs and vulnerabilities in embedded Linux libraries. Developers may “embed” or “clone” code from 3rd party projects. This can be either statically link against external library or maintaining an internal copy of a library’s source or fork a copy of a library’s source.
