Effective Application Security Testing in DevOps Pipelines
Businesses and development teams are rushing to embrace DevOps so they can be more agile, deploy code more quickly, and provide more value to their customers. Hallmarks of DevOps initiatives are support for significant automation, flexible provisioning, and cultural support for shared responsibilities. This often makes security teams uncomfortable, and they find themselves on the receiving end of this trend with little power to stop or even slow these changes. But the shift to DevOps does open a window of opportunity for security teams to exert influence and improve the security of applications.

Canonical Patches 4 Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities in All Supported Ubuntu OSes
On January 11, Canonical released the first security patches of 2017 to address up to four Linux kernel vulnerabilities in all supported Ubuntu Linux operating systems.
These days, Canonical only releases security fixes as a pack, for all Ubuntu releases, and the first one for the new year isn't even all that big. There are two security issues affecting Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin), three flaws affecting Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus), and four affecting Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr).
The first vulnerability affected all releases and was discovered by Dmitry Vyukov in Linux kernel's KVM implementation, which couldn't properly initialize the Code Segment (CS) in certain error cases, allowing a local attacker to expose sensitive information from kernel memory. The issue is documented as CVE-2016-9756 for more information, as it affects other Linux distributions.
