[Survey] Help shape the future of IDSs

Posted by Antonio Augusto Santos on Jun 21

Dear,

(Brazilian Portuguese version bellow – Versão em português abaixo)

My name is Antonio Augusto, and I am currently doing a MS in Computer
Science in Brazil. My research focus on the use of Machine Learning
techniques on IDS (Intrusion Detection Systems) alerts.

There has been a lot of work on this area in recent years, which tries to
bring some improvements on the way we deal with alerts. However, the
academia has no way to know which…

Tutanota Encrypted Email service – Malleable Ciphertext (AES-CBC with no MAC)

Hi Full Disclosure readers,

The symmetric-key encryption used in Tutanota is vulnerable to ciphertext
malleability (a.k.a. arbitrary bit rewriting), since they fail to

I am not the first to discover this…

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2646-2

Ubuntu Security Notice 2646-2 – The Fix for CVE-2015-1328 introduced a regression into the Linux kernel’s overlayfs file system. The removal of a directory that only exists on the lower layer results in a kernel panic. Philip Pettersson discovered a privilege escalation when using overlayfs mounts inside of user namespaces. A local user could exploit this flaw to gain administrative privileges on the system. Various other issues were also addressed.
