[SECURITY] Fedora 22 Update: python-rsa-3.4.1-1.fc22

Python-RSA is a pure-Python RSA implementation. It supports encryption and decryption, signing and verifying signatures, and key generation according to PKCS1 version 1.5. It can be used as a Python library as well as on the command-line...

Amazon Linux AMI : mysql56 (ALAS-2016-684)

wolfSSL formerly CyaSSL before 3.6.8 does not properly handle faults associated with the Chinese Remainder Theorem CRT process when allowing ephemeral key exchange without low memory optimizations on a server, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain private RSA keys by capturing TLS...

Updated proftpd packages fix security vulnerability

A bug with security implications was found in the modtls module in ProFTPD before 1.3.5b. This module has a configuration option TLSDHParamFile to specify user-defined Diffie Hellman parameters. The software would ignore the user-defined parameters and use Diffie Hellman key exchanges with 1024...

Jamie Butler on Detecting Targeting Attacks

In a conversation from RSA Conference, Mike Mimoso talks to Endgame chief technology officer Jamie Butler about what’s new–if anything–with targeted attacks, the proliferation of ransomware, and what defenders are doing about detecting attacks on their networks.

Fedora 24 : proftpd-1.3.5b-1.fc24 (2016-ac3587be9a)

Cumulative maintenance release from upstream. Highlights are: SSH RSA hostkeys smaller than 2048 bits now work properly. MLSD response lines are now properly CRLF terminated. Fixed selection of DH groups from TLSDHParamFile CVE-2016-3125 Various other bug fixes are also included. Note that Tenabl...

Bruce Schneier on the Integration of Privacy and Security

Threatpost Editor in Chief Mike Mimoso talks to crypto pioneer and security expert Bruce Schneier of Resilient Systems about the early days of the RSA Conference, the integration of privacy and security, and the current FBI-Apple debate over encryption and surveillance...

The vulnerability of the OpenSSL library, which allows a hacker to decrypt the transmitted data

The vulnerability of the OpenSSL library lies in the fact that the SSLv2 protocol requires the server to send a message called ServerVerify before establishing a connection. As a result, the client possesses a portion of the RSA public key. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a remote attacker t...

SSL/TLS: Cross-protocol attack on TLS using SSLv2 (DROWN)

A padding oracle flaw was found in the Secure Sockets Layer version 2.0 SSLv2 protocol. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to decrypt RSA-encrypted cipher text from a connection using a newer SSL/TLS protocol version, allowing them to decrypt such connections. This cross-protocol attack ...
