  • Environment Variable and Set-UID Program Lab 1
    SEED Labs – Environment Variable and Set-UID Program Lab 1 Environment Variable and Set-UID Program Lab Copyright © 2006 - 2016 Wenliang Du, All rights reserved. Free to use for non-commercial educational purposes. Commercial uses of the materials are prohibited. The SEED project was funded by multiple grants from the US National Science Foundation. 1 Overview The learning objective of this lab is for students to understand how environment variables affect program and system behaviors. Environment variables are a set of dynamic named values that can affect the way running processes will behave on a computer. They are used by most operating systems, since they were introduced to Unix in 1979. Although environment variables affect program behaviors, how they achieve that is not well understood by many programmers. As a result, if a program uses environment variables, but the programmer does not know that they are used, the program may have vulnerabilities. In this lab, students will understand how environment variables work, how they are propagated from parent process to child, and how they affect system/program behaviors. We are particularly interested in how environment variables affect the behavior of Set-UID programs, which are usually privileged programs. This lab covers the following topics: • Environment variables • Set-UID programs • Securely invoke external programs • Capability leaking • Dynamic loader/linker Readings and videos. Detailed coverage of the Set-UID mechanism, environment variables, and their related security problems can be found in the following: • Chapters 1 and 2 of the SEED Book, Computer & Internet Security: A Hands-on Approach, 2nd Edition, by Wenliang Du.

    Ubuntu Server Guide Welcome to the Ubuntu Server Guide! This site includes information on using Ubuntu Server for the latest LTS release, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa). For an offline version as well as versions for previous releases see below. Improving the Documentation If you find any errors or have suggestions for improvements to pages, please use the link at thebottomof each topic titled: “Help improve this document in the forum.” This link will take you to the Server Discourse forum for the specific page you are viewing. There you can share your comments or let us know aboutbugs with any page. PDFs and Previous Releases Below are links to the previous Ubuntu Server release server guides as well as an offline copy of the current version of this site: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa): PDF Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver): Web and PDF Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus): Web and PDF Support There are a couple of different ways that the Ubuntu Server edition is supported: commercial support and community support. The main commercial support (and development funding) is available from Canonical, Ltd. They supply reasonably- priced support contracts on a per desktop or per-server basis. For more information see the Ubuntu Advantage page. Community support is also provided by dedicated individuals and companies that wish to make Ubuntu the best distribution possible. Support is provided through multiple mailing lists, IRC channels, forums, blogs, wikis, etc. The large amount of information available can be overwhelming, but a good search engine query can usually provide an answer to your questions.

  • A Simple Implementation of Name Spaces for R
    A Simple Implementation of Name Spaces for R Luke Tierney Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science University of Iowa May 29, 2003 1 Introduction This document presents the implementation of name space support provided in R 1.7. Some minor changes in the current development verison have also been incorporated. A pdf version1 of this document is also available. Name spaces provide a means for packages to control the way global variables in their function defini- tions are resolved and to control which local definitions are to be available outside the package. Packages with name spaces export variables with certain values. A package with a name space can import variables exported by other packages with name spaces. Functions defined within a name space are defined in an en- vironment consisting of the internal name space frame, which is enclosed in a (set of) imported frames.2 All name spaces import the base name space. The base name space is a special name space that is enclosed by the global environment. For example, a function defined in a name space bar that imports foo will be defined in an environment that looks like this: --------------- | bar internals | --------------- | foo exports | --------------- | base exports | --------------- | .GlobalEnv | --------------- | package:pkg1 | --------------- ... --------------- | package:base | --------------- The variables in base appear twice: once as a statically determined import (static in the sense that its position in the environment is fixed) and once at the end of the dynamic global environment (where the search index of base varies as packages are attached and detached).3 1See URL morenames.pdf. 2The implementation fuses all explicit imports into a single frame.

Copyright © 2013, 2020, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.. Status of this memo Oracle SBC Best Current Practices are working documents of the Professional Services department of Oracle Corporation. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Best Current Practices. Best Current Practices are working documents valid until explicitly obsoleted, and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is recommended to use Best Current Practices as reference material as well as to cite them in other works in progress. Abstract The use of the RFC 2119 keywords is an attempt to assign the correct requirement levels ("MUST", "SHOULD", "MAY", etc.). This document defines a series of recommendations for Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) configuration and troubleshooting on the Oracle SBC in a customer’s production network. They should be used when either (a) deploying a new SBC, or (b) updating an existing configuration made before Best Current Practices were in place. When in conflict with Customer requirements or desires, the Customer’s preference SHOULD take precedence. Applicability This document is applicable to Oracle Enterprise Session Border Controller Release S-Cz8.4.0 Best Current Practice SRTP Configuration and Troubleshooting Guidelines July 2020 Table of Contents 1 Introduction .....................................................................................................................................................
