Upgrade Security Issues 4.6c to ERP2005

Hi All,
We are planning to upgrade from 4.6c to ERP2005, and I am researching the likely impacts that this will have on security roles and authorisations.
Does anyone have documentation or know where I can access information regarding the impacts this will have.
We currently have FI/CO , MM, SD, and PM installed
Thanks
Simon

You can either use the User Information System (=> ABAP transaction SUIM) or the Audit Information System (=> ABAP report RSUSR006) to identify users which have not been logged onto the system for some time - irregardless the authentication method being used (e.g. password or SSO: SNC, SAP logon tickets, X.509 client certificates, ...).
As of SAP NetWeaver 2004s (ABAP 7.00) you can define a "maximum idle usage time period" (specifically) for passwords (different thresholds possible for "initial" and "productive" passwords). If the threshold is exceeded the password will become unusable ("expired"). In such a case the admin has to set a new password for the effected user (and the user will have to change that password on the next subsequent logon). That's described in <a href="http://service.sap.com/~iron/fm/011000358700000431401997E/0862989">SAP note 862989</a>.
Cheers, Wolfgang

Security issues in upgrade

Can any body tell me what will be the security issues may commonly come after a upgrade
Thanks in advancd

I am sorry. wron place to post. I am moving this thread to security.

HT5642 I need to update iOS 6.1.3 on my iPad2 to 6.1.6, due to security issue. Why is no update available? I do NOT want to install iOS 7, due to memory limitations.

I need to update iOS 6.1.3 on my iPad2 to 6.1.6, due to security issue. Why is no update available? I do NOT want to install iOS 7, due to memory limitations.

Any upgrade will be to the most recent, compatible version, in this case 7.0.6.

Security issue in DNS ! Update bind.

Apparently there is a massive security issue in DNS protocol : http://securosis.com/2008/07/08/dan-kam … -released/
or http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113
I am surprised I haven't seen any post on the forum about it. For now a solution could be to update bind to 9.5.0-P1 (I don't know if the one in testing is this particular one, there is no "P1").
Every DNS server has to be upgraded since the issue is in the protocol, not in the code !

A lot of systems got updated yesterday/today. I just checked a Windows Server 2003 x64 RC2 at work; yesterday it was vulnerable, but today it's reported safe after the recent security updates (this site offers some kind of check: http://www.doxpara.com/)
I believe all the "big" ones in Linux did release an update yesterday, so there's probably plentiful of patches around... which is beyond the limits of my brain cells at the moment.

Security issues in Mavericks 9.04

I just had a secure scan done on my Mavericks server. The main issues seem to be:
OpenSSL Running Version Prior to 0.9.8za Upgrade to OpenSSL version 0.9.8za or newer.
Apache mod_negotiation Multi-Line Filename Upload Vulnerabilities (Upgrade to Apache version 2.3.2 or newer.)
Given that upgrading these would mean compiling and installing Apache and OpenSSL(which I'm not really keen to do) I'm wondering what experienced admins think of these threats.

Dumb question - so a self-signed SSL cert doesn't use Open SSL?
Certificates are used with ssh and SSL/TLS and such, yes. Most of OS X uses Secure Transport for its certificate- and SSL/TLS-related processing, but Apache does not. Apache is linked against OpenSSL.
Self-signed certificates lead to a different security issue.
An HTTPS site with a self-signed certificate will be considered untrusted by accessing web clients and the web browser will usually issue diagnostics before allowing access to the site or a diagnostic before marking the certificate as trusted, or that you've set up your own certificate chain and installed your own root certificate. That you're asking this question implies the former; that you're not really running HTTPS with a trusted certificate chain. Which generally means you can just shut off SSL/TLS.
As for the original question, here's how the scanner is likely detecting the down-revision versions — if you look at the server details being returned to the client, you'll see some information on Apache and OpenSSL versions embedded in the response:
$ telnet foo.example.com 80
Trying 10.1.3.1...
Connected to foo.example.com
Escape character is '^]'.
HEAD / HTTP/1.0

$
That won't get fixed without replacing Apache et al or one of the other options, as described in my earlier reply.
For completeness, some folks will manually configure the server to not return these details. That'll derail the the vulnerability scanner, certainly. It might not have the intended result, too, as the remote attackers can simply decide to throw every attack they have at your server — the attackers are not short on CPU cycles and network bandwidth, after all; unintended consequences.
As for using a self-signed cert and given you probably aren't providing file-level access to other folks, I'd not (personally) be particularly concerned about that vulnerability scan — one of the limitations with using vulnerability scanners is that you then have to go off and figure out if you're actually vulnerable to whatever the scanner is reporting. It's an issue certainly, but then you'll have to decide if your backups are complete and current and with copies kept off-site, and if your other security practices and password policies and such are also all up to date and secure, and at what else you might risk if the server is breached — if configuring a DMZ for your server might be appropriate, for instance, to isolate the server from the rest of your network should the server be breached.

Are there any security issues with Quicktime player on macbook

No.

OPM Security Issue

I am working with a client that has uninstalled OPM 10.2 and upgraded to 10.3. We have upgraded using administrative privileges but the users do not have admin rights to their machines. We are working with Windows 7. The users are intermittently getting the following message below when they attempt to open a word or excel document. This issue is resolved by restarting OPM but its annoying. Any ideas would be helpful.
Error Message
"Oracle Policy Modeling has detected security issues that prevents Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel add-ins from functioning correctly. Please start Oracle Policy Modeling with administratvie privileges to allow this problem to be automatically resolved."

PS: If you have network policies that control when Windows updates occur, you could also in theory script an execution of OPM from the command-line with administrative privileges immediately after those updates, to make sure that the rule modeler never sees this message. I haven't tried this, but it should work.

Is there a patch for the NTP security issue that does not require Xcode?

Is there a patch for the NTP security issue that does not require Xcode? I have an older Intel mini that can't be upgraded beyond 10.6.8 and I currently don't have room for Xcode 3.2.5. Has somebody trustworthy posted these binaries?

Unexpected change to Time Capsule address--security issue?

I received a message that my Time Capsule address had recently changed and that possibly someone might be trying to use my Time Capsule other than me. I checked the configuration of the Time Capsule and it was still assigned to my Airport router. Since I had not changed the TC address, could someone have hacked into my WiFi even though it is secured with a password?
When I clicked the box opting to backup to the TC, I found that all my previous backups were gone. Now, when I access TC, the message indicates that I am accessing a "server" which I don't remember seeing previously.
I am a computer novice and am afraid that I may have a security issue.

Did you recently do an upgrade to the OS in the computer or even firmware...? The later might have popped up a message you hardly noticed.
These changes can affect things.
If you are using WPA2 Personal security for wireless with a decent password you are very unlikely to have issues. Put that one at least to rest. And the access via the rest of the network, well that just depends on setup but it is generally extremely difficult.
To lose your backups is rather odd. Please go to the airport utility and check how much space is used on the TC hard disk.. if it is about what your backup were then they are not lost.. but merely changed name.. or the computer changed name. Mount the TC disk and check exactly what is there and see if you can reconnect to the backups.
B5 and B6 here might be a help. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
You can also do a reset of TM .. A4 and see if you can reconnect to the TC and that should help you get the connection back to your backups.

Other web browsers and security issues?

Since even an Apple KB article recognizes the need for an additional browser and because of Safari's limitations and problems, I'm going to try switching to another browser (most likely OmniWeb and am looking at Firefox, Shira and Opera also though perhaps not as a primary browser) but I'm wondering about their ability to keep on top of any security issues for Mac? (and how do you keep up with security updates?)
Though perhaps unfounded, at least with Safari, I feel that Apple has a vested interest in keeping on top of security issues (for Safari and Java) and I can readily find out about security updates via software updater.

Most of the other Mac browsers have their adherents. They are all good browsers (I have 7 browsers installed to test various web sites and for change-of-pace usage). They all have their strengths and they all have their weaknesses. Only iCab and OmniWeb are still shareware, the rest are now or always have been free (Opera just recently stopped charging for its browser).
I have settled on Firefox as my alternate browser and I use it maybe just a tad more than Safari, but I do switch back and forth between them. The Mozilla foundation is good at getting security updates out when needed. Firefox has a button on the toolbar to check for updates. One nice thing about Firefox is that you can install free extensions which enhance the features available. I have one to supplement tab features, one to control iTunes from Firefox's status bar, one to help me format messages in discussion forums, and one to block ads.
I prefer OmniWeb for doing intensive research because of the way it handles tabs in its sidebar, showing me which ones I've looked at and which ones I haven't, and giving me great flexibility in rearranging tabs, which are viewable as thumbnails or text names (I have had up to a hundred or so tabs open in OmniWeb.
Shiira is good and its fast. I have not checked for updates for a while, but the last time I updated there was still a problem with Shiira kicking you out of logged-in sites when you moved from page to page with in web site. This may have been fixed by now - they were aware of the problem back then.
Camino is a native OS X cousin of Firefox and is also fast, but is not updated as often.
I would stay away from Mozilla or Netscape unless you need all the additional modules they have and which take up hard disk space. Firefox and Camino represent the browser module of Mozilla/Netscape. Mozilla and Netscape have modules for email, irc chat, newsgroups, and for creating and editing web pages. Netscape is a branded and slightly customized version of Mozilla and is not updated as often.
Opera is a nice browser and some use it as their main browser, but I have not seen anything that really stands out for me, but that does not mean it is not worth a look.
I would stay away from abandonware Internet Explorer.
As for checking for updates, several of them, as with many Mac programs, now have a menu item that allows you to check for updates. Most of them also announce their updates on both VersionTracker and MacUpdate.
Happy Exploring.

Security Issue with Apple ID

Today while using my iphone and trying to use facetime for the first time since updating to IOS6, my phone asked me if I wanted to use some email address that I do not have for facetime. What? The message pretty much said that this email address was linked to my apple ID. So I got to work logged into AppleID.Apple.com and saw the email address verified and also saw it displayed as an alternate apple id. Immediately, I changed my Apple ID password and called apple at 1800myapple since that is the number on the website and try to talk to someone that could assist me with this severe issue. Anyway, my iphone went dead and the people on the phone couldn't connect me to anyone because I couldn't give them a serial number to an apple device. I tried to explain to the technicians that this is a problem with my ID and that the alternate ID has access to everything that my Apple ID has access to. Both times the call went nowhere. This is ridiculous. Why can't I talk to a security team? Why is the technician telling me that I can manage my ID from the website, when I know that I am looking at the website and I cannot remove the alternate ID? How did this ID get associated with my account and why did I never receive an email informing me of the change?
Since Apple has other services and not just products STOP ASKING FOR A SERIAL NUMBER AND ASSIST THE CUSTOMER WITH THE ISSUE especially since it is a SECURITY ISSUE.

oh man, I know exactly what you're talking about. i have a relatively easy to guess apple id email and everybody in the world thinks it's theirs... but once I turned on two-step authentication, the emails stopped completely. here's a faq about it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
once i turned that on, whenever they'd want to reset my password, they would get asked for my recovery key, which they don't have, haha! victory is mine.

My account was deleted for security issues. I made a new account, but I can't syncronise my apps with this new account. I bought a new Iphone and would like to transfer the apps ans music on this new one. Can somebody help me?

Why would you make a new account? This will likely cause many problems. Just get you old account enabled.
Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
Everything you purchased with the old account will always be tied to that account. You will have to authorize the computer for that account and you will have to update the apps from that account.

Bit locker security issues (easy to crack) disk encryption?

Bit locker security issues (easy to crack) disk encryption?
Problem 1: When the PC run I think its too easy to get malicious users (with usb pendrive) or spyware to get the encryption key (fast and easy)
youtube.com/watch?v=0npTlOq6q_0
Problem2:not resistant with bruteforce attacks
youtube.com/watch?v=zvaJxnvbGic
Problem 3: not resistant with boot hacking
Im using DriveCrypt plus pack and searched security issues in bit locker.The bit locker allow you the bruteforce/dic attack easy.I think It would be much safer 1. (I think the keys stored somewhere that is easily read) 2. Do not just be enough password
need a password+file combination to decrypt the disk. DriveCrypt plus pack use a file+password combination if you know the password but you wont have the file you can not decrypt the disk (protect with bruteforce attack).On system boot protected bruteforce
attak you can crash the (boot).If the boot system crash you can not decrypt the disk just the password you need the file+password combination plus to decrypt it. I am not a programmer but I see the BitLocker ( easy security catches to crack the disk encryption).Im
tested DriveCrypt and I can not get the key that easy (Problem 1). I have not tested it in greater depth just trying to (catches to crack software encryption).

Where is your question, sir?
If the question were "is it easy to crack", the answer is "no". Your videos make use of several assumptions and ingredients and permissions that a normal attacker does not have.
"Problem 3" is not clear, please describe what scenario you are talking about.
