Visa pilots new payment card security initiatives

March 19, 2009 (Computerworld) Acknowledging the need for controls that go beyond those offered by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, a senior Visa Inc. executive today described two new initiatives to reduce payment card fraud being tested by the company.

Another initiative, being piloted by retailer OfficeMax Inc., involves the use of a challenge-response technique at the point of sale. The project is aimed at testing the efficacy of asking consumers to respond to specific questions such as their ZIP code, the last four digits of their phone numbers, or the first three digits of their area codes, as part of the transaction approval process.

Digital healthcare brings opportunities, risks

March 18, 2009 (Network World) Healthcare in the United States is going digital, which brings both tremendous opportunities and security risks. Digital healthcare brings the promise of increased quality of care, reduced errors and reduced cost and overhead in the provision of care. Yet the United States lags other countries in the use of technology in healthcare records. Fewer than 10% of hospitals and 16% of doctors use electronic health records. This is about to change.

All of this points to an explosion of technology in healthcare and more specifically in the digitization of medical records. With increased digitization, new privacy regulations and more integration between different provider systems bring new risks and an increased burden of regulatory compliance. For security professionals in healthcare this all represents both a tremendous opportunity for skills and career development and a whole load of new responsibilities and work.

Web apps account for 80 percent of internet vulnerabilities

Vulnerabilities in web applications made up 80 percent of all web-related flaws in the second half of 2008 and rose in prevalence by about eight percent from the first half of the year, according to a report released Tuesday by Cenzic.

The report was based on the published vulnerability disclosures for various commercial off-the-shelf and open-source software. The web application vulnerabilities, for example, were in Adobe, SAP, Microsoft, Mozilla, Sun, Apache, and Oracle products.

Not securing your web applications is like locking all the doors to your house and leaving the key under a see-through mat, Mandeep Khera, chief marketing officer at Cenzic, which specializes in web application security, told SCMagazineUS.com.

The convergence of SIEM and log management

March 19, 2009 (Network World) Though Security Information and Event Management and log management tools have been complementary for years, the technologies are expected to merge. Here's a look at what you can expect in second-generation log management and SIEM solutions.

The first-generation SIEM technology was designed to reduce this signal-to-noise ratio and help surface the most critical external threats. Using rule-based correlation, SIEM helped IT detect real attacks by focusing on a subset of firewall and IDS/IPS events that were in violation of policy. Traditionally, SIEM solutions have been expensive and time-intensive to maintain and tweak, but they solve the big headache of sorting through excessive false alerts and effectively protect companies from external threats.

New Vulnerabilities Tested in SecureScout

18301 Mozilla Firefox - spoof URLs and conduct phishing attacks (Remote File Checking)

Mozilla contributor Masahiro Yamada reported that certain invisible control characters were being decoded when displayed in the location bar, resulting in fewer visible characters than were present in the actual location. An attacker could use this vulnerability to spoof the location bar and display a misleading URL for their malicious web page.

The issue has been fixed in Firefox 3.0.7.

CVE-2009-0776 (cve.mitre.org, nvd.nist.gov)

18304 Mozilla Thunderbird - improper memory management of a set of cloned XUL DOM elements (Remote File Checking)

An anonymous researcher, via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative program, reported a vulnerability in Mozilla's garbage collection process. The vulnerability was caused by improper memory management of a set of cloned XUL DOM elements which were linked as a parent and child. After reloading the browser on a page with such linked elements, the browser would crash when attempting to access an object which was already destroyed. An attacker could use this crash to run arbitrary code on the victim's computer.

The issue has been fixed in Thunderbird 2.0.0.21

Mozilla developers identified and fixed several stability bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these crashes showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.

The issue affects both Firefox 2.x and 3.x branches.
