This image and the preceding code listings demonstrate that Java serialization can be an effective method for lightweight persistence. Serialization is not limited to standard Java SDK classes.

Serialization is the process of saving an object's state to a sequence of bytes; deserialization is the process of rebuilding those bytes into a live object. The Java Serialization API provides a ...

The proof-of-concept code released from these experiments was later used to confirm that over 70 other Java applications were also vulnerable to deserialization flaws.

Last month, Oracle's chief architect, Mark Reinhold, said during a conference Q&A that one of Oracle's long-term goals is to change the way Java handles object serialization. In fact, he called the ...

PayPal has rewarded two researchers with bug bounties for the discovery of a Java serialization vulnerability in manager.paypal.com A Java serialization vulnerability disclosed more than a year ...

Serialization bugs have been a big problem for Java Reinhold told InfoWorld that serialization issues could be very easily responsible for a third or even a half of all known Java flaws.

Just like with Java apps, the flaw is in how .NET libraries handle serialized data during deserialization, allowing an attacker to sneak in code that gets executed on a target's machine.

In programming languages, serialization is the process of converting data to a binary format for storing it or for sending it over the network. Deserialization is the reverse of that process.

In the latest security issue to plague Android, IBM has discovered a vulnerability in Android and some third-party SDKs that allows malicious code to elevate its privileges to the system user.
