SIM Cards in 29 Countries Vulnerable to Remote Simjacker Attacks

Until now, I'm sure you all might have heard of the SimJacker vulnerability disclosed exactly a month ago that affects a wide range of SIM cards and can remotely be exploited to hack into any mobile phone just by sending a specially crafted binary SMS. If you are unaware, the name "SimJacker" has...

Real-Time Phishing Protections

In my previous blogs, I wrote about how phishing is no longer just an email problem, how the industrialization of phishing is being driven by the easy availability and low cost of phishing toolkits, and how current phishing defenses are being bypassed by attackers. In this post, I'm going to...

CVE-2014-4192

The DualECDRBG implementation in EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits aka Share for C and C++ processes certain requests for output bytes by considering only the requested byte count and not the use of cached bytes, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain plaintext from TLS sessions by recoverin...

CVE-2014-4191

The TLS implementation in EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits aka Share for C and C++ sends a long series of random bytes during use of the DualECDRBG algorithm, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain plaintext from TLS sessions by recovering the algorithm's inner state, a different issue than...

Code injection

The TLS implementation in EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits aka Share for C and C++ sends a long series of random bytes during use of the DualECDRBG algorithm, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain plaintext from TLS sessions by recovering the algorithm's inner state, a different issue than...

Default configuration

The default configuration of EMC RSA BSAFE Toolkits and RSA Data Protection Manager DPM 20130918 uses the Dual Elliptic Curve Deterministic Random Bit Generation DualECDRBG algorithm, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging...

CVE-2014-4193

The TLS implementation in EMC RSA BSAFE-Java Toolkits aka Share for Java supports the Extended Random extension during use of the DualECDRBG algorithm, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain plaintext from TLS sessions by requesting long nonces from a server, a different issue than...

CVE-2014-4193

CVE-2014-4193 concerns the TLS implementation in EMC RSA BSAFE-Java Toolkits (Share for Java) . The vulnerability arises from the TLS stack using the Extended Random extension while Dual_EC_DRBG is in use, which can allow an observer to recover enough state to obtain plaintext from TLS sessions b...

CVE-2014-4191

CVE-2014-4191 affects the EMC RSA BSAFE-C Toolkits TLS implementation (Share for C/C++) that uses Dual_EC_DRBG. The issue is caused by the TLS code sending a long series of random bytes during Dual_EC_DRBG usage, which enables an attacker to recover the algorithm’s inner state and potentially obt...

CVE-2013-6078

CVE-2013-6078 affects EMC RSA BSAFE Toolkits and RSA Data Protection Manager (DPM) 20130918 family when configured by default to use Dual_EC_DRBG. The issue arises from the use of Dual_EC_DRBG, which can enable context-dependent attackers to defeat cryptographic protections. The description notes...
