cs.CR updates on arXiv.org arxiv.org
Smart home IoT devices are known to be breeding grounds for security and
privacy vulnerabilities. Although some IoT vendors deploy updates, the update
process is mostly opaque to researchers. It is unclear what software components
are on devices, whether and when these components are updated, and how
vulnerabilities change alongside the updates. This opaqueness makes it
difficult to understand the security of software supply chains of IoT devices.
To understand the software update practices on IoT devices, we leverage IoT …
