Adobe Extends Security of Reader and Acrobat With Better Sandbox, Force ASLR

Adobe has upgraded the security capabilities of both Reader and Acrobat with new releases this week, extending the functionality of the sandbox and adding a feature that forces all of the DLLs loaded by the applications to use ASLR, regardless of whether they originally were compiled with ASLR...

SHA-1 Hash Collision Could Be Within Reach of Attackers By 2018

It’s been just a few days since NIST approved Keccak as the winner of the SHA-3 competition, and it likely will be some time before we begin seeing the new hash algorithm popping up in common products and services. However, some in the cryptography community say it may not be a bad idea to start...

Forthcoming SHA-3 Hash Function May Be Unnecessary

For the last five years, NIST, the government body charged with developing new standards for computer security, among other things, has been searching for a new hash function to replace the aging SHA-2 function. Fives years is a long time, but this is the federal government and things move at the...

openssl: SGC restart DoS attack

The Server Gated Cryptography SGC implementation in OpenSSL before 0.9.8s and 1.x before 1.0.0f does not properly handle handshake restarts, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service CPU consumption via unspecified vectors...

openssl: CMS and PKCS#7 Bleichenbacher attack

The implementation of Cryptographic Message Syntax CMS and PKCS 7 in OpenSSL before 0.9.8u and 1.x before 1.0.0h does not properly restrict certain oracle behavior, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to decrypt data via a Million Message Attack MMA adaptive chosen ciphertext...

Chip and PIN payment card system vulnerable to Card cloning

At a cryptography gathering in Leuven, Belgium, on Tuesday, Cambridge University researchers made it known that they do not like what they see in chip and pin systems. The chip and PIN system employed by most European and Asian banks is definitely more secure than the magnetic strip one, but it...

Potential for signature integrity compromise in Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) Cryptography Domain

Summary: The cryptography CP domain in Intel’s newest version of Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives Intel® IPP v7.1 has been enhanced to improve its security and customers are strongly urged to update to this release. Description: Intel IPP v7.1 introduces Intel® AVX & Intel® AVX2 performan...

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : openssl (MDVSA-2012:007)

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in openssl : The DTLS implementation in OpenSSL before 0.9.8s and 1.x before 1.0.0f performs a MAC check only if certain padding is valid, which makes it easier for remote attackers to recover plaintext via a padding oracle attack CVE-2011-410...

Scientific Linux Security Update : openswan on SL5.x, SL6.x i386/x86_64

Openswan is a free implementation of Internet Protocol Security IPsec and Internet Key Exchange IKE. IPsec uses strong cryptography to provide both authentication and encryption services. These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks. A use-after-free flaw was found ...

Scientific Linux Security Update : openssl on SL4.x i386/x86_64 (20120201)

OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer SSL v2/v3 and Transport Layer Security TLS v1 protocols, as well as a full-strength, general purpose cryptography library. An information leak flaw was found in the SSL 3.0 protocol implementation in OpenSSL. Incorrect initialization o...
