IDF Task Force

Just about anyone has seen James Bond movies and most little boys wanted to be him after seeing action packed spy movie.  If you are not a kid anymore and are still interested in spy gadgets, techniques, gear etc., you should check out Philly Spy Shop. Located in the center of notheast part of Philadelphia, this shop has attracted a lot of attention. There you can buy mobile lie detectors, GPS tracking devices, hidden cameras (they can hide a camera almost anywhere – in a hat, pan, clock, soda can, fire alarm etc.), spy and law enforcement clothes, you can unblock “unknown” called ID numbers, change your phone number to any other number, get complete surveillance system, listening devices (like the ones you see in the movies), and much much more.

Whenever I go to Philly Spy Shop, I feel like a kid again, playing with gadgets and asking millions of questions.  So whenever you get that inner spy calling, stop by and check out different products that they have (explosions not included) and don’t forget to mention that IDF sent you.

Mozilla has released Firefox 3.0.15 and Firefox 3.5.4 to address
multiple vulnerabilities. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities may
allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, execute arbitrary
JavaScript with chrome privileges, or cause a denial-of-service
condition. As described in the Mozilla Foundation Security Advisories,
some of these vulnerabilities may also affect SeaMonkey.

We encourage users to review the Mozilla Foundation security
advisories for Firefox 3.0 and Firefox 3.5 and apply any necessary
updates or workarounds to help mitigate the risks.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has released
information warning the public about fraudulent email messages
purporting to come from the FDIC. These email messages provides a link
to a fraudulent FDIC website. Users are then instructed to download
their “personal FDIC Insurance File.”

More information regarding these messages can be found in the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation’s Consumer Alerts website.

Users are encouraged to take the following measures to protect
themselves from this type of phishing scam:
* Do not follow unsolicited web links received in email messages.
* Verify the website by manually typing the URL when attempting to
connect to web sites recommended in an email.
* Refer to the Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks
document for more information on social engineering attacks.

You have probably heard by now that Barack Obama kept his BlackBerry after taking office of the president of the United States.  As you might expect, there are many security questions that must be answered. Main question is “is Barack Obama transmitting any sensitive information over his BlackBerry that would compromise national security?” and if so “how well is it protected?”

White House Deputy Chief Of Staff Joseph Hagin said, while answering a question on what type of information can be transmitted over president’s phone: “There are very few laws and regulations, actually. With a couple notable exceptions, he has complete discretion as to how he’s going to communicate.  One area where there’s really not much discretion is the laws related to the security of classified information. And by classified information I mean technically classified information — documents or subject matters that are classified under the government system as either confidential, secret, top secret, or what they call sensitive compartmentalized information, SCI. That information may not be discussed on an open line, be it wireless or phone. That information can only be discussed or transmitted over devices that are approved for the transmission of classified information.”

Secret service is facing a real challenge here. They are not only responsible for physical safety of the president, but they are also responsible for electronic intrusions. Another issue is the Presidential Records Act. Law states that any official communication by the president or his staff must be retained for inclusion in the archives. That information is retained for 12 years after the last day of the administration.  Hagin went on to expand further: “Then the White House lawyers and the Justice Department have a concern because of the Records Act and making sure all of that is captured. But they also have a concern which is really more of a political concern… The ease with which people can hack into these devices and intercept information and plant spyware on them and all those sorts of things. If someone did get hold of his messages, even though they’re not classified… Imagine if a friend of his or a relative of his sent him something that was controversial, and that somehow got into the public domain. You can imagine, given the game of “gotcha” that’s played in Washington, the questions that would come: Did the president repudiate his friend? Did the president cut off contact with his friend? Does the president agree with his friend? All of a sudden, you have the president having to defend information that he had no control over receiving. It just appeared on his BlackBerry one day, it was leaked somehow or intercepted somehow, and suddenly became a permanent presidential record. One of the things that I’m hoping happens is that business and industry looks at this… and realizes how vulnerable they are. Because if you have sensitive proprietary information — Look at the banking industry. The decisions that they’re making are billion-dollar decisions. I’d bet that there are people out there trying as hard as they can to mine that information… Unlike in the late 90s when people wanted to announce that they’d hacked into half a million computers, today people want to do it covertly. They want to leave no fingerprints and no footprints because they want to be able to access this information on a continuing basis in order to benefit financially. That’s really the crux of the matter.”

Working in the mobile security industry, I get uneasy feeling when I start to think of who might get their hands on the information transmitted by president’s BlackBerry. Unintentionally Barack might open a whole new security whole in this nation’s infrastructure and I would easily bet a million dollars on the fact that there are nations and organizations out there today that are trying to intercept president’s communication through his cell phone.

Do not give sensitive information to anyone unless you are sure that they
are indeed who they claim to be and that they should have access to the
information.

What is a social engineering attack?

In a social engineering attack, an attacker uses human interaction (social
skills) to obtain or compromise information about an organization or its
computer systems. An attacker may seem unassuming and respectable, possibly
claiming  to  be a new employee, repair person, or researcher and even
offering credentials to support that identity. However, by asking questions,
he or she may be able to piece together enough information to infiltrate an
organization’s  network.  If  an attacker is not able to gather enough
information from one source, he or she may contact another source within the
same organization and rely on the information from the first source to add
to his or her credibility.

What is a phishing attack?

Phishing is a form of social engineering. Phishing attacks use email or
malicious  websites  to  solicit  personal  information by posing as a
trustworthy organization. For example, an attacker may send email seemingly
from a reputable credit card company or financial institution that requests
account information, often suggesting that there is a problem. When users
respond with the requested information, attackers can use it to gain access
to the accounts.

Phishing attacks may also appear to come from other types of organizations,
such as charities. Attackers often take advantage of current events and
certain times of the year, such as
* natural disasters (e.g., Hurricane Katrina, Indonesian tsunami)
* epidemics and health scares (e.g., H1N1)
* economic concerns (e.g., IRS scams)
* major political elections
* holidays

How do you avoid being a victim?

* Be suspicious of unsolicited phone calls, visits, or email messages from
individuals asking about employees or other internal information. If an
unknown individual claims to be from a legitimate organization, try to
verify his or her identity directly with the company.
* Do  not  provide  personal  information  or information about your
organization,  including its structure or networks, unless you are
certain of a person’s authority to have the information.
* Do not reveal personal or financial information in email, and do not
respond to email solicitations for this information. This includes
following links sent in email.
* Don’t send sensitive information over the Internet before checking a
website’s security (see Protecting Your Privacy for more information).
* Pay attention to the URL of a website. Malicious websites may look
identical to a legitimate site, but the URL may use a variation in
spelling or a different domain (e.g., .com vs. .net).
* If you are unsure whether an email request is legitimate, try to verify
it by contacting the company directly. Do not use contact information
provided on a website connected to the request; instead, check previous
statements for contact information. Information about known phishing
attacks is also available online from groups such as the Anti-Phishing
Working Group (http://www.antiphishing.org).
* Install and maintain anti-virus software, firewalls, and email filters
to  reduce  some  of  this  traffic  (see Understanding Firewalls,
Understanding  Anti-Virus  Software,  and  Reducing  Spam for more
information).
* Take advantage of any anti-phishing features offered by your email
client and web browser.

What do you do if you think you are a victim?

* If you believe you might have revealed sensitive information about your
organization,  report  it  to  the  appropriate  people within the
organization, including network administrators. They can be alert for
any suspicious or unusual activity.
* If you believe your financial accounts may be compromised, contact your
financial institution immediately and close any accounts that may have
been compromised. Watch for any unexplainable charges to your account.
* Immediately change any passwords you might have revealed. If you used
the same password for multiple resources, make sure to change it for
each account, and do not use that password in the future.
* Watch for other signs of identity theft (see Preventing and Responding
to Identity Theft for more information).
* Consider reporting the attack to the police, and file a report with the
Federal Trade Commission (http://www.ftc.gov/).

Description

A Critical Patch Update is a collection of patches for multiple security vulnerabilities. It also includes non-security fixes that are required (because of interdependencies) by those security patches. Critical Patch Updates are cumulative, except as noted below, but each advisory describes only the security fixes added since the previous Critical Patch Update. Thus, prior Critical Patch Update Advisories should be reviewed for information regarding earlier accumulated security fixes. Please refer to:

Critical Patch Updates and Security Alerts for information about Oracle Security Advisories.

Due to the threat posed by a successful attack, Oracle strongly recommends that customers apply fixes as soon as possible. This Critical Patch Update contains 38 new security fixes across all products.

Notice of Upcoming Upgrade For My Oracle Support

My Oracle Support, Oracle’s next-generation support platform, will soon be upgraded, and Classic MetaLink will be retired. A number of additional features will be available through My Oracle Support, including ones that improve the patch management experience. As a result, after the upgrade, customers attempting to download CPU fixes will see a new Patches & Updates interface. In addition, customers will be required to have an Oracle Single Sign-On (SSO) account to access the My Oracle Support portal, and authorization rules for downloads will be more strictly enforced. Oracle recommends that customers verify or create their SSO account and review their support contracts to ensure they have the proper licenses in place to download the patches needed for the vulnerabilities described in this Critical Patch Update. To verify or create your SSO account, simply log in to My Oracle Support/Classic MetaLink prior to the upgrade and you will automatically be prompted to verify your SSO login or create a new SSO login using your email address.

Risk Matrix Content

Risk matrices list only security vulnerabilities that are newly fixed by the patches associated with this advisory. Risk matrices for previous security fixes can be found in previous Critical Patch Update advisories.

Several vulnerabilities addressed in this Critical Patch Update affect multiple products. A vulnerability that affects multiple products will appear with the same CVE# in all risk matrices. Italics indicate vulnerabilities in code included from other product areas.

Security vulnerabilities are scored using CVSS version 2.0 (see Oracle CVSS Scoring for an explanation of how Oracle applies CVSS 2.0). Oracle conducts an analysis of each security vulnerability addressed by a Critical Patch Update (CPU). Oracle does not disclose information about the security analysis, but the resulting Risk Matrix and associated documentation provide information about the type of vulnerability, the conditions required to exploit it, and the potential result of a successful exploit. Oracle provides this information, in part, so that customers may conduct their own risk analysis based on the particulars of their product usage. As a matter of policy, Oracle does not disclose detailed information about an exploit condition or results that can be used to conduct a successful exploit. Oracle will not provide additional information about the specifics of vulnerabilities beyond what is provided in the CPU or Security Alert notification, the Patch Availability Matrix, the readme files, and FAQs. Oracle does not provide advance notification on CPUs or Security Alerts to individual customers. Finally, Oracle does not distribute exploit code or “proof-of-concept” code for product vulnerabilities.

Workarounds

Due to the threat posed by a successful attack, Oracle strongly recommends that customers apply fixes as soon as possible. Until you apply the CPU fixes, it may be possible to reduce the risk of successful attack by restricting network protocols required by an attack. For attacks that require certain privileges or access to certain packages, removing the privileges or the ability to access the packages from unprivileged users may help reduce the risk of successful attack. Both approaches may break application functionality, so Oracle strongly recommends that customers test changes on non-production systems. Neither approach should be considered a long-term solution as neither corrects the underlying problem.

Skipped Critical Patch Updates

As mentioned in the previous section, Oracle strongly recommends that customers apply fixes as soon as possible. For customers that have skipped one or more Critical Patch Updates and are concerned about products that do not have fixes announced in this CPU, please review the notes below to determine appropriate actions.

In this week’s huge  patch, Microsoft delivers 13 bulletins that fix 34 vulnerabilities targeting Windows, Internet Explorer,  .NET framework, Forefront, MS Office, SQL server, Developer Tools and Silverlight.

Vulnerabilities in SMB v2 Could Allow Remote Code Execution

This security update resolves one publicly disclosed and two privately reported vulnerabilities in Server Message Block Version 2 (SMBv2). The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if an attacker sent a specially crafted SMB packet to a computer running the Server service. Firewall best practices and standard default firewall configurations can help protect networks from attacks that originate from outside the enterprise perimeter. Best practices recommend that systems that are connected to the Internet have a minimal number of ports exposed.

This security update is rated Critical for supported editions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. For more information, see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this section.
Vulnerabilities in Windows Media Runtime Could Allow Remote Code Execution

This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities in Windows Media Runtime. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user opened a specially crafted media file or received specially crafted streaming content from a Web site or any application that delivers Web content. An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the local user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.

This security update is rated Critical for DirectShow WMA Voice Codec, Windows Media Audio Voice Decoder, and Audio Compression Manager on supported editions of Microsoft Windows 2000; Windows XP; Windows Server 2003, except for Itanium-based editions; Windows Vista; and Windows Server 2008, except for Itanium-based editions. For more information, see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this section.

The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by changing the manner in which the Windows Media Runtime processes ASF files and initializes functions in compressed audio files. For more information about the vulnerabilities, see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) subsection for the specific vulnerability entry under the next section, Vulnerability Information.
Vulnerability in Windows Media Player Could Allow Remote Code Execution

This update resolves two newly discovered vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are documented in the “Vulnerability Details” section of this bulletin.

If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less affected than users who operate with administrative user rights.

We recommend that customers apply the update immediately.
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer
This security update resolves three privately reported vulnerabilities and one publicly disclosed vulnerability in Internet Explorer. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted Web page using Internet Explorer. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.

Cumulative Security Update of ActiveX Kill Bits
This security update addresses a privately reported vulnerability that is common to multiple ActiveX controls and is currently being exploited. The vulnerability that affects ActiveX controls that were compiled using the vulnerable version of the Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL) could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted Web page with Internet Explorer, instantiating the ActiveX control. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.

Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL) ActiveX Controls for Microsoft Office Could Allow Remote Code Execution
This security update resolves several privately reported vulnerabilities in ActiveX Controls for Microsoft that were compiled with a vulnerable version of Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL). The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user loaded a specially crafted component or control. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.

Vulnerabilities in the Microsoft .NET Common Language Runtime Could Allow Remote Code Execution
This security update resolves three privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft .NET Framework and Microsoft Silverlight. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution on a client system if a user views a specially crafted Web page using a Web browser that can run XAML Browser Applications (XBAPs) or Silverlight applications, or if an attacker succeeds in persuading a user to run a specially crafted Microsoft .NET application. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. The vulnerabilities could also allow remote code execution on a server system running IIS, if that server allows processing ASP.NET pages and an attacker succeeds in uploading a specially crafted ASP.NET page to that server and executing it, as could be the case in a Web hosting scenario. Microsoft .NET applications, Silverlight applications, XBAPs and ASP.NET pages that are not malicious are not at risk of being compromised because of this vulnerability.

Vulnerabilities in GDI+ Could Allow Remote Code Execution
This security update resolves several privately reported vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows GDI+. These vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user viewed a specially crafted image file using affected software or browsed a Web site that contains specially crafted content. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.

Vulnerabilities in FTP Service for Internet Information Services Could Allow Remote Code Execution
This security update resolves two publicly disclosed vulnerabilities in the FTP Service in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0, Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.1, Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0, and Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0. On IIS 7.0, only FTP Service 6.0 is affected. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution (RCE) on systems running FTP Service on IIS 5.0, or denial of service (DoS) on systems running FTP Service on IIS 5.0, IIS 5.1, IIS 6.0 or IIS 7.0.

Vulnerabilities in Windows CryptoAPI Could Allow Spoofing
This security update resolves two publicly disclosed vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerabilities could allow spoofing if an attacker gains access to the certificate used by the end user for authentication.

Vulnerability in Indexing Service Could Allow Remote Code Execution
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if an attacker set up a malicious Web page that invokes the Indexing Service through a call to its ActiveX component. This call could include a malicious URL and exploit the vulnerability, granting the attacker access to the client system with the privileges of the user browsing the Web page. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.

Vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel Could Allow Elevation of Privilege
This security update resolves several privately reported vulnerabilities in the Windows kernel. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker logged on to the system and ran a specially crafted application. An attacker must have valid logon credentials and be able to log on locally to exploit any of these vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities could not be exploited remotely or by anonymous users.

Vulnerability in Local Security Authority Subsystem Service Could Allow Denial of Service
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow denial of service if an attacker sent a maliciously crafted packet during the NTLM authentication process.

How do you know if your privacy is being protected?

* Privacy policy – Before submitting your name, email address, or other
personal information on a website, look for the site’s privacy policy.
This policy should state how the information will be used and whether or
not  the  information  will be distributed to other organizations.
Companies sometimes share information with partner vendors who offer
related products or may offer options to subscribe to particular mailing
lists. Look for indications that you are being added to mailing lists by
default—failing to deselect those options may lead to unwanted spam. If
you cannot find a privacy policy on a website, consider contacting the
company  to  inquire  about  the policy before you submit personal
information, or find an alternate site. Privacy policies sometimes
change, so you may want to review them periodically.
* Evidence that your information is being encrypted – To protect attackers
from hijacking your information, any personal information submitted
online  should  be  encrypted  so  that it can only be read by the
appropriate recipient. Many sites use SSL, or secure sockets layer, to
encrypt information. Indications that your information will be encrypted
include a URL that begins with “https:” instead of “http:” and a lock
icon in the bottom right corner of the window (see Understanding Web
Site  Certificates for more information). Some sites also indicate
whether the data is encrypted when it is stored. If data is encrypted in
transit but stored insecurely, an attacker who is able to break into the
vendor’s system could access your personal information.

What additional steps can you take to protect your privacy?

* Do business with credible companies – Before supplying any information
online, consider the answers to the following questions: do you trust
the  business?  is  it an established organization with a credible
reputation? does the information on the site suggest that there is a
concern for the privacy of user information? is there legitimate contact
information provided?
* Do not use your primary email address in online submissions – Submitting
your email address could result in spam. If you do not want your primary
email  account flooded with unwanted messages, consider opening an
additional email account for use online (see Reducing Spam for more
information). Make sure to log in to the account on a regular basis in
case the vendor sends information about changes to policies.
* Avoid submitting credit card information online – Some companies offer a
phone  number you can use to provide your credit card information.
Although  this does not guarantee that the information will not be
compromised, it eliminates the possibility that attackers will be able
to hijack it during the submission process.
* Devote one credit card to online purchases – To minimize the potential
damage of an attacker gaining access to your credit card information,
consider opening a credit card account for use only online. Keep a
minimum credit line on the account to limit the amount of charges an
attacker can accumulate.
* Avoid using debit cards for online purchases – Credit cards usually
offer some protection against identity theft and may limit the monetary
amount you will be responsible for paying. Debit cards, however, do not
offer that protection. Because the charges are immediately deducted from
your account, an attacker who obtains your account information may empty
your bank account before you even realize it.
* Take advantage of options to limit exposure of private information -
Default options on certain websites may be chosen for convenience, not
for security. For example, avoid allowing a website to remember your
password. If your password is stored, your profile and any account
information you have provided on that site is readily available if an
attacker gains access to your computer. Also, evaluate your settings on
websites used for social networking. The nature of those sites is to
share information, but you can restrict access to certain information so
that you limit who can see what (see Staying Safe on Social Network
Sites for more information).
