Researchers from Trend Micros Forward-looking Threat Research (FTR) team discovered a critical security vulnerability in the CAN protocol (controller area network) Could be exploited by an attacker to disable airbags and other safety systems of connected cars, including power-steering and anti-lock brakes. The vulnerability cannot be directly patched with an OTA (on-the-air) upgrade or by recalling the vehicles. To fix the design flaw, it is necessary to introduce changes in CAN standards.”]
