Title: Protecting a computer device from escalation of privilege attacks
Inventor: Thomas Couser
IPC: G06F21/55
Filed: 2018-04-18
Abstract: A method of protecting a computer against an escalation of privilege attack by first receiving a notification of a user process executing 701. It then records, using a kernel driver, an initial access token of the user process 702. It then receives a notification of an operation of the user process 703, and captures a current access token when it requests an operation through an operating system of the computer device 704. It can detect that user process has been subject to an escalation of privilege attack by evaluating the current access token against the initial access token 705, and performs a mitigation action in response 707. It make also store information of the initial access token in a token cache. It may capture a current access token in response to an operation activating a set of trigger points. The trigger points may include requesting access to a system registry.

Title: Vehicle control system and method
Inventor: ADAM HUSSEIN ADWAN
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2018-11-14
Abstract: Disclosed is a control system/method for a host vehicle 10 operable in an autonomous mode. It determines a requirement for the host vehicle within a first lane (e.g. middle lane 4004) to manoeuvre into a second lane (e.g. outside lane 4006) to perform overtaking and checks whether an abort condition is satisfied. The abort condition involves checking a third lane (e.g. inside lane 4002) for another road user 4012 converging with or alongside the host vehicle before the manoeuvre. The second and third lanes are on opposite sides of the first lane. If the abort condition is satisfied then the host vehicle remains in the first lane. The control system/method may also check whether a second abort condition is satisfied, for instance whether another road user 4010 is within the second lane. If either of the abort conditions are satisfied then the host vehicle remains in the first lane. The manoeuvre may involve increasing separation of the host vehicle from the road user 4008 being overtaken, and subsequently accelerating the host vehicle towards the road user, followed by manoeuvring the host vehicle into the second lane. The abort condition may be checked after the acceleration.
