Cryptographic Hash Collision Attack

gateway is vulnerable to collision attack. The vulnerability is possible because it uses weak hashing algorithm, SHA-1, for HashedCredentialsMatcher, allowing the attackers to easily perform collsion attacks...

First Practical SHA-1 Collision Attack Arrives

Researchers unveiled on Thursday the first practical collision attack for the 22-year old cryptographic hash function SHA-1. While long expected, news of the attack, dubbed ‘SHAttered,’ should further accelerate the urgency of sunsetting of the maligned algorithm. Researchers from Google, Elie...

UBUNTU-CVE-2016-8646

The hashaccept function in crypto/algifhash.c in the Linux kernel before 4.3.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service OOPS by attempting to trigger use of in-kernel hash algorithms for a socket that has received zero bytes of data...

Millions of Stolen MySpace, Tumblr Credentials Being Sold Online

Hackers are peddling roughly 427 million passwords belonging to users of MySpace, a social network that in its heyday was one of the most visited sites on the internet. The same service that claimed to have information on 164 million LinkedIn users earlier this month is now boasting to have...

Microsoft's SHA-1 Deprecation Begins with Windows 10 Anniversary Update

The home stretch of Microsoft’s planned SHA-1 deprecation schedule has arrived. This summer, with the planned release of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, users should see signs that the weak cryptographic hash function is being phased out. Microsoft said that once the anniversary update is roll...

Kaspersky Total Security 15.0.1.415 Unsalted Hash Vulnerability

The SySS GmbH found out that the administrator password for protecting different functions of the Kaspersky Total Security software, like managing backups or stopping protection services, is stored as raw, unsalted MD5 hash value in the Windows registry. Product: Kaspersky Total Security KTS...

ntp: ntp-keygen may generate non-random symmetric keys on big-endian systems

A flaw was found in the way the ntp-keygen utility generated MD5 symmetric keys on big-endian systems. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to guess generated MD5 keys, which could then be used to spoof an NTP client or server...

WordPoints: Weak Cryptographic Hash

Issue: The following files are vulnerable to this issue: \src\includes\class-breaking-updater.php line 246 and 247 protected function checkmodule $module $randstr = strshuffle md5 microtime ; $nonce = md5 $randstr . 'wordpointscheckmodules-' . $module ;...

Google 'Sunsetting' Weak SHA-1 Crypto Algorithm

Google announced Friday it will begin the process of phasing out the obsolete SHA-1 cryptographic hash algorithm with the upcoming release of version 39 of the company’s Chrome browser in November. After the November release, Chrome will no longer fully trust sites whose certificate chains trust...

NIST Seeking Public Comment on SHA-3 Crypto Algorithm

The National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST is inviting the public to analyze and comment on its Secure Hash Algorithm-3 SHA-3, the latest iteration of cryptographic hash functions endorsed and published by the U.S. standards agency in order to protect the integrity of electronic...

Securing Passwords with Bcrypt Hashing Function

Passwords are the first line of defense against cyber criminals. It is the most vital secret of every activity we do over the internet and also a final check to get into any of your user account, whether it is your bank account, email account, shopping cart account or any other account you have. ...

98% of SSL enabled websites still using SHA-1 based weak Digital Certificates

The National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST had published a document on Jan 2011 that the SHA-1 algorithm will be risky and should be disallowed after year 2013, but it was recently noticed by Netcraft experts that NIST.gov website itself were using 2014 dated SSL certificate with SHA...

Cracking 16 Character Strong passwords in less than an hour

The Password serves to protect your financial transactions, your social networking sites, and a host of other nominally secure websites online. People often say, "don't use dictionary words as passwords. They are horribly unsecure", but what if hackers also managed to crack any 16 character...

CVE-2012-3137

The authentication protocol in Oracle Database Server 10.2.0.3, 10.2.0.4, 10.2.0.5, 11.1.0.7, 11.2.0.2, and 11.2.0.3 allows remote attackers to obtain the session key and salt for arbitrary users, which leaks information about the cryptographic hash and makes it easier to conduct brute force...

Authentication flaw

The authentication protocol in Oracle Database Server 10.2.0.3, 10.2.0.4, 10.2.0.5, 11.1.0.7, 11.2.0.2, and 11.2.0.3 allows remote attackers to obtain the session key and salt for arbitrary users, which leaks information about the cryptographic hash and makes it easier to conduct brute force...

Scientific Linux Security Update : postgresql and postgresql84 on SL6.x i386/x86_64 (20120625)

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system DBMS. A flaw was found in the way the crypt password hashing function from the optional PostgreSQL pgcrypto contrib module performed password transformation when used with the DES algorithm. If the password string to be hashed...

Limit Login Attempts < 1.7.1 - Auth Cookies Brute Force Bypass

From the changelog of the plugin: "Auth cookies" are special cookies set at login that authenticating you to the system. It is how WordPress "remembers" that you are logged in between page loads. During lockout these are supposed to be cleared, but a change in 1.6.2 broke this. It allowed an...
