*** Logging SSL, (Thu, Oct 16th) ***
---------------------------------------------
With POODLE behind us, it is time to get ready for the next SSL firedrill. One of the questions that keeps coming up is which ciphers and SSL/TLS versions are actually in use. If you decide to turn off SSLv3 or not depends a lot on who needs it, and it is an important answer to have ready should tomorrow some other cipher turn out to be too weak. But keep in mind that it is not just numbers that matter. You also need to figure out who the outliers are and how important (or dangerous?) they are.

*** Bad news, fandroids: He who controls the IPC tool, controls the DROID ***
---------------------------------------------
A security flaw in a core message-passing mechanism leaves every Android device potentially vulnerable to attack, security researchers warned on Thursday.
The flaw relates to Binder, Android's inter-process communication (IPC) tool. The message passing mechanism for Android devices acts as a communications hub on smartphones and tablets running the Google-developed mobile OS, making it a prime target for Android malware developers.

*** Close means close: New adware detection criteria ***
---------------------------------------------
In April we introduced the rules that software developers should follow when creating advertisements to avoid being detected by Microsoft security products as adware. These rules are designed to keep our customers in control of their Internet browsing experience. Since then, we have had great success working with some companies through our developer contact process. At the same time we have started to see other advertising programs trying to bend and even circumvent our rules.

*** Jailbreak Detection Methods ***

This post concludes our three-part series about mobile security. Todays post will outline some options for detecting jailbroken devices, should you choose to do so. Yesterday, we asked whether blocking an apps execution on jailbroken devices was worth it. Earlier this week, we described some vulnerabilities in iOS web browsers. Many iOS applications contain some sort of jailbreak detection mechanism. Some of the detection mechanisms can be bypassed by attackers (sometimes easily), whereas

---------------------------------------------
OpenSSH lets you grant SFTP access to users without allowing full command execution using "ForceCommand internal-sftp". However, if you misconfigure the server and dont use ChrootDirectory, the user will be able to access all parts of the filesystem that he has access to - including procfs. On modern Linux kernels (>=2.6.39, I think), /proc/self/maps reveals the memory layout and /proc/self/mem lets you write to arbitrary memory positions. Combine those and you get easy RCE.
