The vulnerability of the OpenSSL software allows a malicious attacker to compromise the confidentiality of protected information.

The vulnerability exists in the SSL protocol for OpenSSL due to the use of non-deterministic padding for CBC encryption block chaining of the encryption text. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a malicious actor to obtain unencrypted data by using a padding prediction attack, known as POODLE...

From inter to intra: gaining reliability

Posted by Chris Evans, avoider of crossing heap lines. Part 2 of 4. In the first post in this series, we concluded with a traditional exploit for Adobe Flash bug 324, and noted that it could never be 100% reliable. We also challenged ourselves to do better! Is there some way we can leverage the...

What is a "good" memory corruption vulnerability?

Posted by Chris Evans, register whisperer. Part 1 of 4. There are a lot of memory corruption vulnerabilities in software, but not all are created equal. To a certain degree, the “usefulness” of a given memory corruption vulnerability is determined by how reliably it might be exploited. In some...

Cisco Releases Open Source FNR Cipher

Cisco has released a new open-source block cipher called FNR that is designed for encrypting small chunks of data, such as MAC addresses or IP addresses. The cipher is still in the experimental stage, but Cisco has released the source code and a demo application. The company suggests that the new...

Cryptanalysis Remains for TrueCrypt Audit

Phase two of the TrueCrypt audit figures to be a labor-intensive, largely manual cryptanalysis, according to the two experts behind the Open Crypto Audit Project OCAP. Matthew Green, crypto expert and professor at Johns Hopkins University, said a small team of experts will have to, by hand, exami...

TrueCrypt Open Source License Audit Bringing Clarity

The list of objectors to the TrueCrypt open source license is a long one and includes some popular distributions such as Debian, Fedora—and by extension Red Hat. In fact, the wrangling over the TrueCrypt license dates back as far as 2006, long before there were serious inquiries as to the...
