Preface: The virtual table is created in the same SQLite database in wich the Core Data content resides. To keep this table as light as possible only object properties relevant to the search query are inserted.
Vulnerability details: A vulnerability in the rtreenode() function of SQLite3 could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access sensitive information .
Bug Fixed – When opening an existing rtree, determine the node size by inspecting the root node of the r-tree structure (instead of assuming it is a function of the page-size). SQLite has released a software update at the following link: https://www.sqlite.org/download.html
Preface: In the Ukraine hack, the utilities not only lost their visibility but also ceded control of their networks to remote attackers later linked to APT Group (Dec 2015).
About AVEVA : AVEVA Group plc is a British multinational information technology company headquartered in Cambridge, United Kingdom. It provides engineering and industrial software. Schneider Electric is now the largest shareholder with a 60% ownership interest.
Vulnerability details:
In Vijeo Citect 7.30 and 7.40 and CitectSCADA 7.30 and 7.40 versions, it could allow a malicious entity to obtain the Citect User Credentials because Citect User Credentials in memory are stored in clear text. Remark: If the client deploy above solution and does not integrate workstation with internet function. The cyber security risk will be retained similar vendor opinion. It is a medium risk. Properly require adjust the rating if client workstation has internet web browsing function.
Vulnerability Note VU#576688

Preface: The more the power you have, the greater the risk is being infected.
Synopsis: Microsoft Windows RDP Network Level Authentication can allow an attacker to bypass the lock screen on remote sessions.
My observation: Observing that Microsoft re-engineering the RDP with create a channel with MS_T120 and Index 31. But vulnerability occurs when someone send data to the system’s MS_T120 channel and reference the closed channel again.
Interim remediation step:
RDP is disabled if not needed.
SIEM firing rule – client requests with “MST-T120′ on any channel other than 31
Preface: With sandbox technology, Security DevOps team might have easy to conduct test. Since the user can specify exactly what parts of the filesystem should be visible in the sandbox.
Technical Background: The introduction of user namespaces in the Linux kernel has opened the doors to running containers as default user logins via e.g. ssh or desktop. Bubblewrap, a computing sandbox technology. The goal of bubblewrap is to run an application in a sandbox, where it has restricted access to parts of the operating system or user data such as the home directory. Unlike sandboxes, containers are not a time-limited solution for testing whether code is malicious.
Vulnerability details: A vulnerability in Project Atomic Bubblewrap could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on a targeted system. The vulnerability is due to the insecure use of the /tmp directory by the bubblewrap.c source code file of the affected software.
Preface: In ancient China, there was not only ancient times. Before ancient times, there was a ancient era that we could difficult to explore. With regard to the myth book of China, because of the many legends and myths left. It let me tirelessly exploring.
Background of the Shan Hai Jing:
Shan Hai Jing《山海經》, Chinese pre-Qin (先秦 221 BC) ancient books. A book with an unbelievable ancient historical details. So the Chinese people general opinion categorized that it is a myth book. The are different kinds of strange monsters with total seventy five recorded in “Shan Hai Jing” .
The pictures in Shan Hai Jing are strange. If you read the book, you will found that all the animals looks different compaing with our modern world. For instance a chicken have three legs and double heads. Even though a character looks like a human being but without head. As far as I remember a TV program interview with a professor (Asia country). When the journalist mentions the Shan Hai Jing. Professor reply with simple. It is not true.
Creation of mankind
With different of civilizations in our earth. However, the definition of human creation have similar of ideas. It is create by god? Do you have doubt? Whether it is create by bio-technology (DNA genes)?
In modified form, Darwin’s scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences, explaining the diversity of life. The mankind evolution discovered by darwin, it coincidence proof the relationship of Shan Hai Jing between mankind.
Reproductive cloning is expensive and highly inefficient. More than 90% of cloning attempts fail to produce viable offspring. So our evolution of civilization is a long run. Even though another planet advanced technology do not have exception. Till long long ago, the reproductive cloning was started. But who can do, I believed that it is a advance technology from other planet. So we find special animals in myth books especially Shan Hai Jing《山海經》, this is the way I speculate that the intention of ancient Chinese people written down their live experiences.
Shan Hai Jing 《山海經》 has pictures, the text described according to the content of the picture. However, ancient pictures have been lost. The earliest pictures of Shan Hai Jing came from the Ming Dynasty. And it is a draft version not the original. Perhaps people concerns about the integrity of data (genuine)! For more details, please refer following link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_of_Mountains_and_Seas
But when we compare Shan Hai Jing 《山海經》 pictures with the civilization of Babylon. Their ancient history also described monster type human and how god create man kind. The monster similar Shan Hai Jing 《山海經》 pictures ideas. The monster looks like mixed with bird, fish and wild animal (see below).
Remark: In biology, cloning is the process of producing similar populations of genetically identical individuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as bacteria, insects or plants reproduce asexually. Following the definition of Darwin evolution theory (see below):
With reference of Babylon ancient history by archeologist. Babylon was the largest city in the world c. 1770 – c. 1670 BC, and again c. 612 – c. 320 BC). The historical record of Shan Hai Jing was founded in Chinese pre-Qin (先秦 221 BC) discovered by archeologist. So I predict that the picture of record by Shan Hai Jing recorded the seen of the witness before 221 BC. From technical point of view, it match with Babylon ancient civilization. Ancient traveler from China to Babylon can go through Silk Road.
Regarding to the findings by archeologist, they believe that Shan Hai Jing 《山海經》written by Bashu巴蜀 people. Meanwhile, they share the experience through oral communications. The cultural relics shown that Bashu巴蜀 has advanced civilization. For instance Sanxingdui Ruins (三星堆遗址). Although the ancient Shu (古蜀) civilization and the two river civilizations (Euphrates River幼發拉底河, Tigris River底格里斯河) are far apart in absolute age and geographical location, there are many cultural connections and similarities between the two. Perhaps the civilization of ancient Shu State (古蜀國) has relationship with Mesopotamia.
Summary: We are living in modern world, perhaps nobody going to find out the secret of old ancient book. However it is hard to believe that clone a human or create a mankind do not requires bio-chemical technology. Above description mention that reproductive cloning is expensive and highly inefficient. More than 90% of cloning attempts fail to produce viable offspring. So our evolution of civilization is a long run. Even though another planet advanced technology do not have exception. So the advanced intelligent creature may try and error. Our mainstream of thinking that a human only have one head. Birds has one pair of wings. But before creation of everything, human do not have such thinking. So it requires to conduct Test. And therefore the strange animals and ugly monster was born in this period of time. Dinosaur has large scale of body and not suitable living in the earth. So you can say the nature do not allow they live on earth. But why some ancient civilization disappeared? For instance Chichen Itza (Maya) and Mohenjo Daro Ancient City. After this dicussion, do you interest to read Shan Hai Jing 《山海經》?
Reference A: The Yangtze(長江) River Delta, the two lakes, and the Sichuan-Yunnan region (川滇地區),which originated in the Yangtze River, are the general term for these regional civilizations. They were formed in 2000 BC, respectively, by Lingjiatan Culture 凌家灘文化- – Liangzhu Culture 良渚文化, Daxi Culture大溪文化 – Qujialing Culture屈家嶺文化 – Shijiahe Culture石家河文化, Baodun Culture 寶墩文化 – Sanxingdui Culture. After the decline of early civilization, the culture of the late Yangtze River developed Wucheng culture吳城文化, Bashu巴蜀, Jingchu荊楚, Xuguo徐國 and Wuyue吳越.
Reference B: In biology, cloning is the process of producing similar populations of genetically identical individuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as bacteria, insects or plants reproduce asexually.
Preface: The computing market trending on open source development and thus its growth rapidly. Believe it or not, see how many Apache server running now.
Apache Camel background: You can use MQ (message queues) to enable applications to communicate at different times and in many diverse computing environments. This is the famous vendor proprietary toys in past decade. Until opensource born in the world especially Apache Camel. It pay the role to doing similar functions, perhaps the capability of function still under development. But it is on the way and it is free.
Vulnerability details: A vulnerability in the camel-xmljson component of Apache Camel could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct an XML external entity injection (XXE) attack on a targeted system. It was because the affected software uses an outdated vulnerable JSON-lib library.
Preface: If the victim of cybersecurity is a defensive device? What you can do?
Background: Leading players in the Global It Asset Management (Itam) Software Market Research Report are: HP, Cherwell Software, Oracle & Dell KACE .
Vulnerability details: The Dell Kace K1000 Appliance contains multiple vulnerabilities, including a blind SQL injection vulnerability and a stored cross site scripting vulnerability.
Comment: As usual, vendor did not provide the vulnerability details. For SQL injection vulnerability. Seems has similarity of the previous vulnerability, see below:
Failure to properly filter the “macAddress” parameter values of the getUploadPath and getKBot SOAP methods can result in the injection of arbitrary SQL code to manipulate SQL queries.
Remedy: Apply patch (SEC2018_20180410) NOTE: KACE SMA versions 9.0.270 and later include these security fixes.
Preface: Use-After-Free vulnerability similar animal ruminating.
Background: SQLite3 is a compact free database you can use easily create and use a database. It has become very popular with smart phone developers. SQLite runs many different computer systems such as Apple OS X, Linux, and Windows. Even though Airbus, they are the SQLite3 user.
Vulnerability details: A vulnerability in SQLite3 could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a targeted system. The vulnerability is due to a use-after-free condition in the window function functionality of the affected software. A possibility may be occurred. It let the attacker to execute arbitrary code and completely compromise the system.
Remedy: At the time this alert was first published, SQLite had not released a software update.
Preface: Business computing architecture now go to virtualization world, perhaps it is hard to imagine in five year ago!
Technical background: The libvirt library is used to interface with different virtualization technologies. It is accessible from C, Python, Perl, Java and more. Meanwhilethe libvirt project supports KVM, QEMU, Xen, Virtuozzo, VMWare ESX, LXC & BHyve. Libvirt’s built-in API is widely used in the virtual machine monitor orchestration layer in cloud solution development.
Vulnerability details: A vulnerability in libvirt could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to escalate privileges on a targeted system. The vulnerability exists because the virtlockd-admin.socket and virtlogd-admin.socket unit files do not set the SocketMode configuration parameter in the affected software.
Workaround: Disable the virtlockd-admin.socket and virtlogd-admin.socket units in systemd. Alternative customize them to add SocketMode=0600 locally.
Synopsis: As time goes by, cyber criminals formulated phishing scam through email and website visit. It seems to be a main trend. In order to avoid the attack occurs, home users installing antivirus program including malware detector, virus protection and predictive control. If web browser contains vulnerability? What we can do?
Vulnerability details: A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the script engine handles memory objects in Microsoft browsers. The vulnerability could corrupt memory and an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged in with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could control the affected system.
