  • Vulnerability Report Attacks Bypassing Confidentiality in Encrypted PDF
    Vulnerability Report Attacks bypassing confidentiality in encrypted PDF Jens M¨uller1, Fabian Ising2, Vladislav Mladenov1, Christian Mainka1, Sebastian Schinzel2, J¨orgSchwenk1 May 16, 2019 1Chair for Network and Data Security 2FH M¨unsterUniversity of Applied Sciences Abstract In this report, we analyze PDF encryption and show two novel techniques for breaking the confidentiality of encrypted documents. Firstly, we abuse the PDF feature of partially encrypted documents to wrap the encrypted part of the document within attacker-controlled content and therefore, exfiltrate the plaintext once the document is opened by a legitimate user. Secondly, we abuse a flaw in the PDF encryption specification allowing an attacker to arbitrarily manipulate encrypted content without knowing the cor- responding key/password. The only requirement is one single block of known plaintext, which we show is fulfilled by design. By using exfiltration channels our attacks allow the recovery of the entire plaintext or parts of it within an encrypted document. The attacks rely only on standard compliant PDF features. We evaluated our attacks on 27 widely used PDF viewers and found all of them vulnerable. 1 Contents 1 Background4 1.1 Portable Document Format (PDF) . .4 1.2 PDF Encryption . .6 1.3 PDF Interactive Features . .7 2 Attacker Model8 3 PDF Encryption: Security Analysis9 3.1 Partial Encryption . .9 3.2 CBC Malleability . 10 3.3 PDF Interactive Features . 12 4 How To Break PDF Encryption 14 4.1 Direct Exfiltration (Attack A) . 14 4.1.1 Requirements . 15 4.1.2 Direct Exfiltration through PDF Forms (A1) . 15 4.1.3 Direct Exfiltration via Hyperlinks (A2) .

  • Designing and Packaging Printer and Scanner Drivers
    Designing and Packaging Printer and Scanner Drivers OpenPrinting MC on Linux Plumbers 2020 August 28, 2020 Till Kamppeter, OpenPrinting What we had ● Printer drivers – PPD files – Filters, perhaps also backends – All has to be in CUPS-specific directories ● Scanner drivers – Shared libraries with SANE ABI in SANE-specific directories ● Packaging – Binaries were built specific to destination distro and packaged in DEB or RPM packages – For each distro drivers need to be built, packaged, and tested separately – As files need to be in specific directories drivers cannot be installed with CUPS in a Snap or with scanning user applications in Snaps What we want ● Sandboxed packaging – Snaps – Distribution-independent: Install from Snap Store on any distro running snapd – More security: Every package with all its libraries and files in its own sandbox, fine-grained control for communication between packages – All-Snap distributions ● But – You cannot drop driver files into directories of a snapped CUPS or snapped user applications, Snaps do not see the system’s files – Snaps only communicate via IP or D-Bus, not by files ● Also – CUPS is deprecating support for PPD files, working by itself only in driverless IPP mode. The New Architecture ● Printer/Scanner Applications emulating an IPP device – Easily snappable: Communicates only via IP – Multi-function device support, Printing, Scanning, and Fax Out can be done in one Snap/Application – Web admin interface for vendor/device-specific GUI – Behaves like a network printer/scanner/multi-function

  • 4Typesetting, Viewing and Printing
    Typesetting, viewing 4and printing We’ve now got far enough to typeset what you’ve entered. I’m assuming at this stage that you have typed some sample text in the format specified in the previous chapter, and you’ve saved it in a plain•text file with a filetype of .tex and a name of your own choosing. Picking suitable filenames Never, ever use directories (folders) or file names which contain spaces. Although your op• erating system probably supports them, some don’t, and they will only cause grief and tears with TEX. Make filenames as short or as long as you wish, but strictly avoid spaces. Stick to upper• and lower•case letters without accents (A–Z and a–z), the digits 0–9, the hyphen (-), and the full point or period (.), (similar to the conventions for a Web URI): it will let you refer to TEX files over the Web more easily and make your files more portable. Formatting information ✄ 63 ✂ ✁ CHAPTER 4. TYPESETTING, VIEWING AND PRINTING Exercise 4.1: Saving your file If you haven’t already saved your file, do so now (some editors and interfaces let you type• set the document without saving it!). Pick a sensible filename in a sensible directory. Names should be short enough to display and search for, but descriptive enough to make sense. See the panel ‘Picking suitable file• names’ above for more details. 4.1 Typesetting Typesetting your document is usually done by clicking on a button in a toolbar or an entry in a menu. Which one you click on depends on what output you want — there are two formats available: A f The standard (default) LTEX program produces a device•independent (DVI) file which can be used with any TEX previewer or printer driver on any make or model of computer.

  • Living Without Google on Android
    Alternative for Google Apps on Android - living without Google on Android Android without any Google App? What to use instead of Hangouts, Map, Gmail? Is that even possible? And why would anyone want to live without Google? I've been using a lot of different custom ROMs on my devices, so far the two best: plain Cyanogenmod 11 snapshot on the Nexus 4[^1], and MIUI 2.3.2 on the HTC Desire G7[^2]. All the others ( MUIU 5, MIUI 6 unofficial, AOKP, Kaos, Slim, etc ) were either ugly, unusable, too strange or exceptionally problematic on battery life. For a long time, the first step for me was to install the Google Apps, gapps packages for Plays Store, Maps, and so on, but lately they require so much rights on the phone that I started to have a bad taste about them. Then I started to look for alternatives. 1 of 5 So, what to replace with what? Play Store I've been using F-Droid[^3] as my primary app store for a while now, but since it's strictly Free Software[^4] store only, sometimes there's just no app present for your needs; aptoide[^5] comes very handy in that cases. Hangouts I never liked Hangouts since the move from Gtalk although for a little while it was exceptional for video - I guess it ended when the mass started to use it in replacement of Skype and its recent suckyness. For chat only, check out: ChatSecure[^6], Conversations[^7] or Xabber[^8]. All of them is good for Gtalk-like, oldschool client and though Facebook can be configured as XMPP as well, I'd recommend Xabber for that, the other two is a bit flaky with Facebook.

    Memory Tagging and how it improves C/C++ memory safety Kostya Serebryany, Evgenii Stepanov, Aleksey Shlyapnikov, Vlad Tsyrklevich, Dmitry Vyukov Google February 2018 Introduction 2 Memory Safety in C/C++ 2 AddressSanitizer 2 Memory Tagging 3 SPARC ADI 4 AArch64 HWASAN 4 Compiler And Run-time Support 5 Overhead 5 RAM 5 CPU 6 Code Size 8 Usage Modes 8 Testing 9 Always-on Bug Detection In Production 9 Sampling In Production 10 Security Hardening 11 Strengths 11 Weaknesses 12 Legacy Code 12 Kernel 12 Uninitialized Memory 13 Possible Improvements 13 Precision Of Buffer Overflow Detection 13 Probability Of Bug Detection 14 Conclusion 14 Introduction Memory safety in C and C++ remains largely unresolved. A technique usually called “memory tagging” may dramatically improve the situation if implemented in hardware with reasonable overhead. This paper describes two existing implementations of memory tagging: one is the full hardware implementation in SPARC; the other is a partially hardware-assisted compiler-based tool for AArch64. We describe the basic idea, evaluate the two implementations, and explain how they improve memory safety. This paper is intended to initiate a wider discussion of memory tagging and to motivate the CPU and OS vendors to add support for it in the near future. Memory Safety in C/C++ C and C++ are well known for their performance and flexibility, but perhaps even more for their extreme memory unsafety. This year we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Morris Worm, one of the first known exploitations of a memory safety bug, and the problem is still not solved.

    Ghostscript and MuPDF Status OpenPrinting Summit April 2016 Michael Vrhel, Ph.D. Artifex Software Inc. San Rafael CA Outline Ghostscript overview What is new with Ghostscript MuPDF overview What is new with MuPDF MuPDF vs Ghostscript MuJS, GSView The Basics Ghostscript is a document conversion and rendering engine. Written in C ANSI 1989 standard (ANS X3.159-1989) Essential component of the Linux printing pipeline. Dual AGPL/Proprietary licensed. Artifex owns the copyright. Source and documentation available at www.ghostscript.com Graphical Overview PostScript PCL5e/c with PDF 1.7 XPS Level 3 GL/2 and RTL PCLXL Ghostscript Graphics Library High level Printer drivers: Raster output API: Output drivers: Inkjet TIFF PSwrite PDFwrite Laser JPEG XPSwrite Custom etc. CUPS Devices Understanding devices is a major key to understanding Ghostscript. Devices can have high-level functionality. e.g. pdfwrite can handle text, images, patterns, shading, fills, strokes and transparency directly. Graphics library has “default” operations. e.g. text turns into bitmaps, images decomposed into rectangles. In embedded environments, calls into hardware can be made. Raster devices require the graphics library to do all the rendering. Relevant Changes to GS since last meeting…. A substantial revision of the build system and GhostPDL directory structure (9.18) GhostPCL and GhostXPS "products" are now built by the Ghostscript build system "proper" rather than having their own builds (9.18) New method of internally inserting devices into the device chain developed. Allows easier implementation of “filter” devices (9.18) Implementation of "-dFirstPage"/"-dLastPage" with all input languages (9.18) Relevant Changes to GS since last meeting….

  • Statically Detecting Likely Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
    Statically Detecting Likely Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities David Larochelle [email protected] University of Virginia, Department of Computer Science David Evans [email protected] University of Virginia, Department of Computer Science Abstract Buffer overflow attacks may be today’s single most important security threat. This paper presents a new approach to mitigating buffer overflow vulnerabilities by detecting likely vulnerabilities through an analysis of the program source code. Our approach exploits information provided in semantic comments and uses lightweight and efficient static analyses. This paper describes an implementation of our approach that extends the LCLint annotation-assisted static checking tool. Our tool is as fast as a compiler and nearly as easy to use. We present experience using our approach to detect buffer overflow vulnerabilities in two security-sensitive programs. 1. Introduction ed a prototype tool that does this by extending LCLint [Evans96]. Our work differs from other work on static detection of buffer overflows in three key ways: (1) we Buffer overflow attacks are an important and persistent exploit semantic comments added to source code to security problem. Buffer overflows account for enable local checking of interprocedural properties; (2) approximately half of all security vulnerabilities we focus on lightweight static checking techniques that [CWPBW00, WFBA00].
