Preface: Medical software manufacturer uses Adobe ColdFusion to more securely collect electronic clinical outcome assessment (eCOA) data.Digital solutions company uses Adobe ColdFusion to help midmarket companies manage eCommerce more effectively. Some expert predicted that ColdFusion was losing the market but he is still alive.

Critical statement of this vulnerability and remedy.
This attack requires the ability to upload executable code to a web-accessible directory, and then execute that code via an HTTP request. Restricting requests to directories where uploaded files are stored will mitigate this attack.

Preface: Linux-based airline seat-back entertainment system won the market since 2007.

Background: Seat back entertainment system including Wi-Fi, movies and television shows, games and music. Some of it is built into an airline’s fleet, and some have options where you can bring your own devices and access in-flight entertainment options.

Vulnerability details:
A buffer overflow vulnerability found in British Airways Entertainment System, as installed on Boeing 777-36N(ER) and possibly other aircraft. The system cannot not local attacker exploit USB charging/data-transfer feature conducting cyber attack.

Impact: Trigger a chat app Buffer overflow or other unknown impact.

Comment:
Panasonic IFE systems cover large scale of market. However the vulnerabilities found in past has similarity with existing one. The risks are given out from USB port. Since Panasonic product capabilities can provides advanced functions and features. So, we would urge vendor to hardening the cyber security of their products.

Preface: SIEM can enforce your cyber security protection meanwhile it is the potential target by hacker.

Synopsis: So far Splunk did a remarkable analytic function. Furthermore SIEM product itselfs have their baseline protection feature. From technical point of view, it is not recommend apply WAF function to monitor their activities. Perhaps WAF will be provide large volume of false positive alarm thus interrupt SIEM functions. Therefore how to conduct management control in SIEM will be the major focus by cyber security expert.

Vulnerability found on Splunk: A Web Persistent Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability occurs.

Impact: A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the web interface.

Preface: The Domain Name System (DNS) was standardized 30 years ago by IETF (RFC1034 and RFC1035). An additional standard, EDNS (RFC2671) was published in 1999 and updated in 2013 (RFC6891).

Synopsis: As time goes by, EDNS, gained importance with the wide deployment of DNSSEC, among others, which has become an essential part of the DNS protocol.
Since the nonconformity of the software code especially of the DNS software vendors.There are different workarounds on DNS software vendors. Meanwhile it is hard to avoid vulnerability occurs.
