*** Sicherheitsforscher kapern HTTP-Verbindungen von Linux *** --------------------------------------------- Eine Schwachstelle im Linux-Kernel gefährdet TCP-Verbindungen. Unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen konnten sich Sicherheitsforscher in Verbindungen einklinken und diese etwa lahmlegen und sogar manipulieren. --------------------------------------------- http://heise.de/-3292257
*** Bing.VC Hijacks Browsers Using Legitimate Applications *** --------------------------------------------- Browser hijackers are a type of malware that modifies a web browser's settings without the user's permission. Generally a browser hijacker injects unwanted advertising into the browser. It replaces the home page or search page with its own. It also steals cookies and can install a keylogger to fetch other sensitive information. McAfee Labs has recently... --------------------------------------------- https://blogs.mcafee.com/mcafee-labs/bing-vc-hijacks-browser-using-legitimat...
*** Profiling SSL Clients with tshark, (Wed, Aug 10th) *** --------------------------------------------- Cisco recently published a paper showing how malicious SSL traffic sometimes uses very specific SSL options. Once you know what set of SSL options to look for, you will then be able to identify individual pieces of malware without having to decrypt the SSL traffic. (and before anybody complains: SSL does include TLS. I am just old fashioned that way) I wanted to see how well this applies to HTTPS traffic hitting the ISC website. I collected about 100 MB of traffic, which covered client hello... --------------------------------------------- https://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=21361&rss
*** Python-based TLS tester tool *** --------------------------------------------- We at Oulu University Secure Programming Group, OUSPG for short, have been developing a neat little gadget called TryTLS. It is a systematic tester tool that checks the safety of TLS libraries. We think we have something of value here, as certificate handling is a very complex and overlooked issue. The tool and info on how to get started can be found here: https://github.com/ouspg/trytls We would really value your input if you could think of some good backends, tests or other resources that... --------------------------------------------- http://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/4x1z36/pythonbased_tls_tester_tool/
*** Linux Trojan Mines For Cryptocurrency Using Misconfigured Redis Servers *** --------------------------------------------- An anonymous reader writes: In another installment of "Linux has malware too," security researchers have discovered a new trojan that targets Linux servers running Redis, where the trojan installs a cryptocurrency miner. The odd fact about this trojan is that it includes a wormable feature that allows it to spread on its own. The trojan, named Linux.Lady, will look for Redis servers that dont have an admin account password, access the database, and then download itself on the new... --------------------------------------------- http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/WKFxUVtVPG0/linux-trojan-min...
*** CRIME, TIME, BREACH and HEIST: A brief history of compression oracle attacks on HTTPS *** --------------------------------------------- The HEIST vulnerability was presented at Black Hat USA 2016 by Mathy Vanhoef and Tom Van Goethem. In this presentation, new techniques were presented that enhanced previously presented padding oracle attacks on HTTPS, making them more practical. In a padding oracle attack, the attacker has partial control of part of a message that contains secret information, and is compressed, then encrypted before being sent over the network. An example of this is a web page... --------------------------------------------- https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2016/08/11/compression-oracle-attacks-https/
*** Volkswagen-Hack: Mit dem Arduino 100 Millionen Autos öffnen *** --------------------------------------------- Mit einem Arduino und Hardware im Wert von 40 US-Dollar lassen sich fast alle Modelle der VW-Gruppe aus den vergangenen 15 Jahren öffnen - sagen Sicherheitsforscher. Das Unternehmen hat die Lücke eingeräumt. 14 weitere Autohersteller sind betroffen. --------------------------------------------- http://www.golem.de/news/hack-mit-dem-arduino-100-millionen-autos-oeffnen-16...
*** Road Warriors: Beware of "Video Jacking" *** --------------------------------------------- A little-known feature of many modern smartphones is their ability to duplicate video on the devices screen so that it also shows up on a much larger display -- like a TV. However, new research shows that this feature may quietly expose users to a simple and cheap new form of digital eavesdropping. Dubbed "video jacking" by its masterminds, the attack uses custom electronics hidden inside what appears to be a USB charging station. As soon as you connect a vulnerable phone to the... --------------------------------------------- http://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/08/road-warriors-beware-of-video-jacking/
*** EyeLock nano NXT 3.5 Remote Root Exploit *** --------------------------------------------- EyeLocks nano NXT firmware latest version 3.5 (released 25.07.2016) suffers from multiple unauthenticated command injection vulnerabilities. The issue lies within the rpc.php script located in the /scripts directory and can be triggered when user supplied input is not correctly sanitized while updating the local time for the device and/or get info from remote time server. The vulnerable script has two REQUEST parameters timeserver and localtime that are called within a shell_exec() function for... --------------------------------------------- http://www.zeroscience.mk/en/vulnerabilities/ZSL-2016-5357.php
*** EyeLock nano NXT 3.5 Local File Disclosure Vulnerability *** --------------------------------------------- nano NXT suffers from a file disclosure vulnerability when input passed thru the path parameter to logdownload.php script is not properly verified before being used to read files. This can be exploited to disclose contents of files from local resources. --------------------------------------------- http://www.zeroscience.mk/en/vulnerabilities/ZSL-2016-5356.php
*** EyeLock Myris 3.3.2 SDK Service Unquoted Service Path Privilege Escalation *** --------------------------------------------- The application suffers from an unquoted search path issue impacting the service MyrisService for Windows deployed as part of Myris solution. This could potentially allow an authorized but non-privileged local user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on the system. A successful attempt would require the local user to be able to insert their code in the system root path undetected by the OS or other security applications where it could potentially be executed during application... --------------------------------------------- http://www.zeroscience.mk/en/vulnerabilities/ZSL-2016-5355.php
