There is a TCP prediction vulnerability in Wind River’s widely deployed VxWorks embedded software that can enable an attacker to disrupt or spoof the TCP connections to and from target devices. VxWorks is an embedded operating system that’s used in a large number of ICS products that are deployed in sectors such as energy, water, […]

FreeRADIUS Insufficient CRL Application
The FreeRADIUS server relies on OpenSSL to perform certificate validation, including Certificate Revocation List (CRL) checks. The FreeRADIUS usage of OpenSSL, in CRL application, limits the checks to leaf certificates, therefore not detecting revocation of intermediate CA certificates. An unexpired client certificate, issued by an intermediate CA with a revoked certificate, is therefore accepted by FreeRADIUS. Versions equal to and below 2.2.7 and 3.0.8 are affected.
How to steal PGP encryption keys (using radio waves and pita bread)
An ingenious team of Israeli security researchers at Tel Aviv University have discovered a way to steal secret encryption keys using a gadget so small it can be hidden inside some pita bread.
The post How to steal PGP encryption keys (using radio waves and pita bread) appeared first on We Live Security.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1139-01
Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1139-01 – The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. It was found that the Linux kernel’s implementation of vectored pipe read and write functionality did not take into account the I/O vectors that were already processed when retrying after a failed atomic access operation, potentially resulting in memory corruption due to an I/O vector array overrun. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.
Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1153-01
Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1153-01 – Mailman is a program used to help manage email discussion lists. It was found that mailman did not sanitize the list name before passing it to certain MTAs. A local attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code as the user running mailman. Previously, it was impossible to configure Mailman in a way that Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance would recognize Sender alignment for Domain Key Identified Mail signatures. Consequently, Mailman list subscribers that belonged to a mail server with a “reject” policy for DMARC, such as yahoo.com or AOL.com, were unable to receive Mailman forwarded messages from senders residing in any domain that provided DKIM signatures. With this update, domains with a “reject” DMARC policy are recognized correctly, and Mailman list administrators are able to configure the way these messages are handled. As a result, after a proper configuration, subscribers now correctly receive Mailman forwarded messages in this scenario.
HP Security Bulletin HPSBMU03356 1
HP Security Bulletin HPSBMU03356 1 – A potential security vulnerability has been identified with HP Business Service Automation Essentials (BSAE) running TLS. This is the TLS vulnerability using US export-grade 512-bit keys in Diffie-Hellman key exchange known as “Logjam” which could be exploited remotely resulting in disclosure of information. Revision 1 of this advisory.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1154-01
Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1154-01 – Libreswan is an implementation of IPsec & IKE for Linux. IPsec is the Internet Protocol Security and uses strong cryptography to provide both authentication and encryption services. These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks such as virtual private network. A flaw was discovered in the way Libreswan’s IKE daemon processed certain IKEv1 payloads. A remote attacker could send specially crafted IKEv1 payloads that, when processed, would lead to a denial of service.
Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1135-01
Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1135-01 – PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache HTTP Server. A flaw was found in the way the PHP module for the Apache httpd web server handled pipelined requests. A remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger the execution of a PHP script in a deinitialized interpreter, causing it to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. A flaw was found in the way PHP parsed multipart HTTP POST requests. A specially crafted request could cause PHP to use an excessive amount of CPU time.
