Looks like Amazon’s FreeRTOS a leading open source real-time operating system has several critical vulnerabilities. A researcher has found the the embedded systems that have been ported to over 40 microcontrollers, which are being used in IoT, aerospace, medical, automotive industries, have vulnerabilities could allow attackers to crash the target device, leak information from its memory, and the most worrisome, remotely execute malicious code on it, thus taking complete control over the target device. Amazon has since deployed security patches. Looks like the risk for IoT is still prevalent, even from our major vendors.
