Cisco Policy Suite for Mobile is a carrier-grade policy, charging, and subscriber data management solution. It helps service providers rapidly create and bring services to market, deliver a positive user experience, and optimize network resources. It also generates monetization opportunities across 3G, 4G, and LTE access networks as well as IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) service architectures.

Seems this round will make ISP busy!

Background

Java programming language sometimes look like a accomplice. The Java Sandbox, which attempts to enforce a privilege model that permits safe execution of untrusted code, and is most famously used to permit the automatic execution of Java Applets in a browser.

Vulnerability details

Apache Log4j is a Java-based logging utility. Log4j is one of several Java logging frameworks. A design flaw found on Oracle products, Log4j has possibility then let vulnerabilities remotely exploitable without authentication, i.e., may be exploited over a network without requiring user credentials.

Sample of using the Log4j Library

public class Jangles {

private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(Jangles.class);
Public static void main(String[] args){
log.info("This is a testing message.");
if(log.isDebugEnabled()){
log.debug("This is a testing message.");
}
}
}

Above sample will enable Log4j to control the output of other libraries which use Apache Commons Logging like the Java Caching System.
So, do you think this is the root causes hits the vulnerability?

Perhaps this vulnerability reference number go back 2017. However Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory on July 2018 still has status update of this vulnerability. If you are the Oracle product user, you must stay alert. You should stay alert!

Vulnerability detail:

More ethereum tokens now involves into a bug and causes jeopardize the reputation. So called integer overflow, a design limitation allows the owner of the contract to set the balance of an arbitrary user to any value.

Reference resource (Hyperlink) – see below:

https://github.com/BlockChainsSecurity/EtherTokens/blob/master/GEMCHAIN/mint%20integer%20overflow.md

The status last week (9th July 2018) shown that there are total 329 ethereum tokens are vulnerable for integer overflow (refer Table A). A proof of concept let software developer know SafeMath is able to help (remediate the risk interger overflow vulnerability). I am not going to repeat the details again. For more, please refer below article for reference.

Integer overflow weakness similar kill the Ethereum. But SafeMath to protect from overflows.
