Combat Top Security Vulnerabilities: HPE Tippingpoint Intrusion
Business white paper Combat top security vulnerabilities HPE TippingPoint intrusion prevention system Business white paper Page 2 The year 2014 marked a new pinnacle for hackers. Vulnerabilities were uncovered in some of the most widely deployed software in the world—some of it in systems actually intended to make you more secure. HPE TippingPoint next-generation intrusion prevention system (IPS) and next-generation firewall (NGFW) customers rely on us to keep their networks safe. And when it comes to cyber threats, every second matters. So how did HPE TippingPoint do? This brief highlights the top security vulnerabilities of 2014—the ones that sent corporate security executives scrambling to protect their businesses. And it describes how HPE TippingPoint responded to keep our customers safe. Heartbleed—HPE TippingPoint intrusion prevention system stops blood flow early Any vulnerability is concerning, but when a vulnerability is discovered in software designed to assure security, it leaves businesses exposed and vulnerable. That was the case with the Heartbleed vulnerability disclosed by the OpenSSL project on April 7, 2014. They found the vulnerability in versions of OpenSSL—the open-source cryptographic library widely used to encrypt Internet traffic. Heartbleed grew from a coding error that allowed remote attackers to read information from process memory by sending heartbeat packets that trigger a buffer over-read. As a demonstration of the vulnerability, the OpenSSL Project created a sample exploit that successfully stole private cryptography keys, user names and passwords, instant messages, emails, and business-critical documents and communications. We responded within hours to protect TippingPoint customers. On April 8, we released a custom filter package to defend against the vulnerability. -

Yet Another Padding Oracle in Openssl CBC Ciphersuites
Yet Another Padding Oracle in OpenSSL CBC Ciphersuites presented by Raphael Finkel based on https://blog.cloudflare.com/ yet-another-padding-oracle-in-openssl-cbc-ciphersuites/ Keeping Current, September 5, 2018 The Cryptographic Doom Principle I reference: https://moxie.org/blog/ the-cryptographic-doom-principle/ by Moxie Marlinspike I If you have to perform any cryptographic operation before verifying the MAC (message authentication code) on a message you’ve received, it will somehow inevitably lead to doom. I MAC is a cryptographic digest based on a secret key shared by Alice and Bob. I Proper use of MAC: Encrypt Then Authenticate (Encrypt-then-MAC, EtA; used in IPsec) I Alice sends to Bob: E(P) || MAC(E(P)) I Detail: E(P) also includes such information as the initialization vector and the encryption algorithm; both are then covered by MAC(). I Bob first verifies MAC(E(P)), satisfying the principle. If that test passes, Bob decrypts P. I Good: Verifies integrity of E(P), therefore it also verifies integrity of P. I Good: MAC(E(P)) provides no information about P. Authenticate and encrypt (Encrypt-and-MAC, E&A; used in SSH) I Alice sends to Bob: E(P) || MAC(P) I Bob must first decrypt E(P) to get P, then confirm MAC(P), violating the principle. I Good: verifies integrity of P. I Not good: I May theoretically reveal information about P in MAC(P). I No integrity check on E(P). I Bad: vulnerable to chosen-ciphertext attacks on E. I Man-in-the-middle Morton can try various versions of E(P), noting whether Bob gets as far as trying to verify MAC(P). -

The Software Vulnerability Ecosystem: Software Development In The Context Of Adversarial Behavior Abstract Software vulnerabilities are the root cause of many computer system security fail- ures. This dissertation addresses software vulnerabilities in the context of a software lifecycle, with a particular focus on three stages: (1) improving software quality dur- ing development; (2) pre- release bug discovery and repair; and (3) revising software as vulnerabilities are found. The question I pose regarding software quality during development is whether long-standing software engineering principles and practices such as code reuse help or hurt with respect to vulnerabilities. Using a novel data-driven analysis of large databases of vulnerabilities, I show the surprising result that software quality and software security are distinct. Most notably, the analysis uncovered a counterintu- itive phenomenon, namely that newly introduced software enjoys a period with no vulnerability discoveries, and further that this “Honeymoon Effect” (a term I coined) is well-explained by the unfamiliarity of the code to malicious actors. -

Lucky 13, BEAST, CRIME,... Is TLS dead, or just resting? Kenny Paterson Information Security Group Overview Introduction to TLS (and why YOU should care) BEAST and CRIME Lucky 13 and RC4 attacks Current/future developments in TLS 2 About the Speaker Academic But spent 5 years in industrial research lab Still involved in IPR, consulting, industry liaison RHUL since 2001 “You are teaching Network Security” Leading to research into how crypto is used in Network Security EPSRC Leadership Fellow, 2010-2015 “Cryptography: Bridging Theory and Practice” Support from I4, HP, BT, Mastercard, CPNI Attacks on IPsec (2006, 2007), SSH (2009) So what about TLS? 3 A Word from my Sponsors 4 TLS – And Why You Should Care SSL = Secure Sockets Layer. Developed by Netscape in mid 1990s. SSLv2 now deprecated; SSLv3 still widely supported. TLS = Transport Layer Security. IETF-standardised version of SSL. TLS 1.0 = SSLv3 with minor tweaks, RFC 2246 (1999). TLS 1.1 = TLS 1.0 + tweaks, RFC 4346 (2006). TLS 1.2 = TLS 1.1 + more tweaks, RFC 5246 (2008). TLS 1.3? 5 TLS – And Why You Should Care Originally for secure e-commerce, now used much more widely. Retail customer access to online banking facilities. User access to gmail, facebook, Yahoo. Mobile applications, including banking apps. Payment infrastructures. User-to-cloud. Post Snowden: back-end operations for google, yahoo, … Not yet Yahoo webcam traffic, sadly. TLS has become the de facto secure protocol of choice. Used by hundreds of millions of people and devices every day. A serious attack could be catastrophic, both in real terms and in terms of perception/confidence.
