Vulnerability
Hi!
I want to clear one question exactly – Windows and *NIX systems.
Vulnerability is up to all the systems. The system is free for Vulnerability until we know it has Vulnerability.
Are there some key points make the approach different for Windows and *NIX?
Microsoft calls updates as Security Updates and updates for *NIX systems is for security or for reliability (I do not say for both systems about software updates like Service Packs)?
I mean if we can divide system modules to unVulnerability modules and Vulnerability modules for each system or not?
Here on forum I saw posts saying FreeBSD is more security system then Linux. How do I understand this? If I want more secure server I am to turn to FreeBSD?
And how all these are to Windows. I like Widows Server for comfortable configuration tools and many compatible easy integrated Services.
The vital point is Warranty. Microsoft takes money for the products and as I understand gives some Warranty and Support.
What Warranty is for *NIX systems and support? Or I am to turn to commercial products for getting Warranty and Support. As it commercial point then why I am turn to *NIX not to Windows?
What are the basic points for Security between Windows and *NIX? And what is for Arch with all these?
Please, do not answer with like "I use this because I like this".
I really need some professional answer with this question!
Thank you!

You know, you can do your own research on the subject, that way you'll find out exactly what you want or need to know rather than have people throw links at you that you may or may not find useful.

Visit FreeBSD's website, they have some of the finest documentation I have ever seen.

ralvez's link (which you said was unhelpful) contains a list of the more common unices along with a brief overview of them.
You'll not get much warranty with any software, at least with open source stuff or "off the shelf" products like Microsoft Windows. As has been said read the EULA of the software you use, it most likely says the company can not be held responsible for any damages caused by using their software.
You can get support for Linux distributions, Redhat offer support for their products. Slackware has a list of third party companies that offer support for it for example. However you need to pay for this support. In general you can obtain a Linux distribution for free. However that doesn't come with a support service that you can ring up or email and demand a solution from. If you need more support than the man pages, or a group of volunteers on a website forum your going to have to find a company willing to give it and sign a contract with them.
As regards whether or not FreeBSD is more secure than Linux, well I believe strongly that security is down to the system administrator's skill. Any one can set up a FreeBSD box insecurely. A good admin can set up a Linux box to be very secure. If your looking to set up a server I would choose the OS you have most experience with. If for example you have years and years of experience with Windows and no experience with FreeBSD then use Windows. If your interested in another system get it set up on a devel or test server in a protected environment and learn how to use it.
I can't be bothered with the Windows updates versus everyone elses updates argument/discussion. Sorry.
I haven't been using Arch for a long time. However it seems to me that it doesn't really have a security update policy. It doesn't have a security branch that only provides security updates to the 'release' branch. However Arch is a rolling release and as soon as a maintainer is notified that a piece of software that Arch uses is out of date they update the repositories with a new package of the software. So by keeping your system in sync with the repositories you'll be automatically keeping your system fully patched in theory.
The whole jist of your post, to me, seems to be "What shall I use: Windows, Linux, some other unix?". You have to make up your own mind on that I'm afraid. You need to put some time and effort researching and reading papers addressing your concerns and make an informed choice upon that information.

Is java vulnerable in safari 5.1? I have a macbook using 10.6.8
I am worried about the java vulnerability. I need it to pay bills on my banks website. is java vulnerable in safari 5.1. I am using a macbook with os 10.6.8
The recently discovered zero-day flaw in Java 7 is so serious that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has warned users to disable or uninstall it, and Apple has disabled the Java 7 plugin on Macs through its OS X anti-malware system, in order to protect users from a potentially serious security issue.
You should disable Java (if not already done) until either the US Department of Homeland Security, or Oracle, declare it safe and Apple restore the facility. Oracle have released an update said to fix the security flaw, available from here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.h tml
Javascript should not be disabled (it has nothing to do with Java), and is probably what your bank is using. -

Are we really vulnerable for plugins?
Are we really vulnerable... or is the admonition to perform updates a catchall for out-of-date plugins? What I mean is, do these plugins really miss a new vulnerability every other week, or is the term "vulnerable" used to mean that there is a newer release available and you should just update it later, because maybe this release fixed something.
I really want to know when cyber creeps have unleashed a new round of havoc via bad code in the plugins. However, I don't have the time to chase updates in Acroread or Java every week. Besides, after every series of updates, I always need to open up Microsoft Autoruns and disable their self-installed processes to call home and check versions whenever I boot up. I'm sorry, but any updating will be done by me when I'm not late for something at work. I can't say how many times my computer is stalled checking for new versions (and downloading and installing them while I'm trying to do accomplish something!)
So if these vulnerabilities are just a reflection of there being a new version available, I'll research and weigh my options for the day and just avoid vulnerable sites for a couple weeks (that's a joke - I always avoid vulnerable sites and have never gotten a virus). However, if these really mean that bad guys are actively deploying malware, I'll take them more seriously. I know how to manage the risks if I know what this message means.
One might wonder why plugins to display images and documents would be so vulnerable anyways. Is there really code in them that says "ok, the document is displayed, is there anything else the server side would like us to run on the client PC?" :) Looking at the recent Apple QT versions, they're not clear if the "arbitrary code" that gets run is that the PC will continue to execute random stuff in memory (which is more likely to lead to a crash) or if it's code placed in the image that will get executed.
Thanks in advance for clarifying...hello, yes the updates from adobe and oracle for its plugins contain fixes for discovered vulnerabilities regularly. this should not be taken lightly since outdated plugins are the #1 infection vector for malware on the web nowadays...
''edit: you also might not be safe by just visiting known & "trusted" sites, since also ad-networks or content delivery networks might get hacked and used for the spreading of malware.''

Rtf-Vulnerability in Office 2013 Web Apps Server
I was trying to install a hotfix for our Office Web Apps server because of the vulnerability listed here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2953095
The suggested solution is installing a hotfix (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2953095). But when trying to install it on our Office Web Apps server (Windows Server 2012), I just a message that it can't be installed on this operating
system or for this version of the application.
How do I install the hotfix or disable RTF content for the Word Web Apps server?Hi Lakner,
According to your description, my understanding is that the hotfix cannot be installed in Office Web Apps Server 2013.
As the articles below said, “the affected versions include Word 2003, 2007, 2010, Office for Mac 2011, Office Web Apps 2010 and Office Web Apps Server 2013. However, Microsoft said the active attacks have only targeted those systems running
Word 2010.”

Hi, I don't know how to find a specific security patch to apply to my Oracle database version 11.2.0.2.0 (on windows server 2003 32 bits) to fix the following vulnerability:
Risk: High
Application: oracle_tnslsnr
Port: 1521
Protocol: tcp
Synopsis:
It is possible to register with a remote Oracle TNS listener.
Description:
The remote Oracle TNS listener allows service registration from a remote host. An attacker can exploit this issue to divert data from a
legitimate database server or client to an attacker-specified system.
Successful exploits will allow the attacker to manipulate database instances, potentially facilitating man-in-the-middle, sessionhijacking,
or denial of service attacks on a legitimate database server.
Solution:
Apply the work-around in Oracle's advisory.

Security vulnerability in Oracle 8.1.5
The following email was forwarded to me about possible security vulnerabilities.
I am looking for verification from both Oracle and the user comunity.
================================================================================
[ Hackerslab bug_paper ] Linux ORACLE 8.1.5 vulnerability
================================================================================
File : Oracle 8.1.5
SYSTEM : LINUX
Tested by RedHat Linux 6.2
INFO :
There are two security vulnerability in Oracle.
1. buffer overflow
It is possible to create a buffer overflow vulnerability using "ORACLE_HOME",
one of the environmental value of Oracle.
Oracle applications that are vulnerable to buffer overflow are as follow :
- names
- namesctl
- onrsd
- osslogin
- tnslsnr
- tnsping
- trcasst
- trcroute
Thease applications allow an attacker to excute a buffer overflow exploit.
2. Log-files created
When a user excutes one of Oracle applications such as names, oracle or tnslsnr,
following log files are created.
names

nullHi Peter,
I was told that Oracle8 and Oracle8i Parallel Server on IBM
RS/6000 AIX comes with its own Lock Manager and this LM does not
rely on the Cluster Lock Manager (cllockd) of HACMP for AIX, as
Oracle7 Parallel Server on normal (non-SP) RS/6000 does.
(Oracle7 Parallel Server on RS/6000 SP didn't use the cllockd of
HACMP but came with a special LM.)
Cluster-wide Filesystems are not used for OPS on Unix, as far as
I know Unix (AIX, Solaris). All Data-, Log- and Control-Files
must reside on concurrently (!) accessible Raw-Devices (e.g. Raw
Logical Volumes on AIX).
So I guess it should be possible for Oracle to port OPS to Linux.
No special Cluster-Services would be needed for OPS on Linux,
just a shared SCSI-bus (e.g.) and a fast interconnect (e.g.
100BaseT).

Oracle 8.1.7 with OSE affected by HTTP TRACE / TRACK vulnerability
Hi All,
I had no luck using the search function for the problem I'm facing. As for the possibility of posting this in the wrong category, I apologize.
I'm supporting an application that uses Oracle 8.1.7 in a Solaris 9 environment. The web server in use is Apache 1.3.12.
In a security scan, the HTTP TRACK/TRACE vulnerability was found on port 8080. I immediately checked the apache config file (httpd.conf) and found that the apache instance runs on port 7777 and the TRACE and TRACK method is already disabled.
With some help from a colleague, I found that the Oracle Servlet Engine (OSE) admin service is running on port 8080. Disabling this service is not an option because it renders the application unusable. How can I disable these HTTP methods?
If more information is required, do ask.It still seems incredibly low priority to me - I'm not sure if you could even exploit that vulnerability in this instance, even somone did get onto your network.
But, you could configure requests to be routed via the http server http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A87860_01/doc/java.817/a83720/modi_apa.htm#77221 - which will filter out the track/trace requests, but I'm not sure if you could disable direct access to the servlet engine.
Apart from that, not really sure. -

1250 blocks used (approx)Hard to say whether it's safer to wait or safer to patch it yourself in the meantime but, if like me you'd rather not wait an indefinite period of time for a patch, here is a patching process that's working for me:
Found the newest GNU patch compiled for Solaris on Open CSW: bash - Solaris package
To install, you'll want the CSW package utility. Here are some instructions, but I'll also go over it below: Getting started — OpenCSW 0.2014.04 documentation
You may already have the CSW package utilities installed, check under "/opt/csw/bin" for "pkgutil". If it's not there, issue
pkgadd -d http://get.opencsw.org/now
Then, I like to add a symbolic link into /usr/bin to make it easier:
sudo ln -s /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil /usr/bin/pkgutil
Now we can do the install -- pkgutil is going to handle all the heavy lifting, dependency building etc., and place the new bash binary into "/opt/csw/bin"
sudo pkgutil -U
sudo pkgutil -a bash
sudo pkgutil -i bash
Follow the prompts, and then look under /opt/csw/bin for bash:
ls /opt/csw/bin | grep bash
If you see it listed there w/ a Sep 25th date (or later, if you're following these instructions in my future), then you're ready for the final step -- replacing the old bash binary with the new.
We're going to replace /usr/bin/bash with a link to /opt/csw/bin/bash. I was worried this step would crash running processes and applications (weblogic, BI, db instances), but so far no issues -- that said, PLEASE be careful and shutdown anything you can first! I can't be sure this step will work w/o any hiccups every time.
cd /usr/bin
sudo cp bash bash-old
sudo ln -f /opt/csw/bin/bash /usr/bin/bash
You can see we backed up the old bash install (4.1), in case something goes wrong. When finished, issue that command and you should see an error message now:
env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"
bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt
bash: error importing function definition for `x'
this is a test
Again, BE CAREFUL -- while I was figuring this out, I did take down a couple zones to the point where I couldn't SSH back into them.
That said, the steps above are working flawlessly for me -- BUT I can't guarantee you'll have the same experience! -

Flash Player 11.8.800.94 Critical Vulnerability
Greetings.
To my horror I just discovered on our webpages, with Plash Player enabled in the latest versions of IE and Firefox that at our commercial website (supremefulvic.com) advertising links are randomly being added to words on our webpage!!!! Through our hosting provider tech support I discovered that Flash Player 11.8.800.94 was the culprit. I disabled the Flash Player add-ons and all of the intrusive ad-links dissappeare. I then enabled Flash Player and all of the abusive unwanted ad-links re-appeared. Please research ASAP as I believe Flash Player has a vulnerability. This is absolutely abuse from Flash Player.
Thank you in advance.

Supreme Fulvic, LLC
www.supremefulvic.comShockwave Flash add-on is what the software is, not Flash Player, my mistake, sorry. Anyway, I discovered what the problem was. When I downloaded and installed Shockwave Flash a day or so ago somehow along with the Shockwave Flash installation some type a ad software was coupled with the download and it go inadvertantly installed on my computer. I am always very cautious when installing software so as NOT to install anything other than what I specifically want to install. That ad software was integrated into my browsers with Shockwave Flash, and that ad software, through the browser using Shockwave Flash was targeting various keywords on all of the webpages I viewed with the browsers. When I disable Shockwave Flash the hyperlinks no longer appeared on the various keywords, and when I re-enabled Shockwave Flash the keywords were again turned into ad links. After my initial post here I did some more research and in one of the forums someone mentioned to check the installed programs through the Windows control panel and see if any type of ad software was installed. Well, I did check, and I discovered an installation of some type of ad software and I uninstalled it. My bad for not writing down the name of that software, and I humbly apologize for not doing so. After I uninstalled it those links did not appear on any of the web pages I visited. So, the problem was not Shockwave Flash, rather, it was that software that was USING Shockwave Flash to carry out its mission. So, if anyone else discovers those ad links appearing in their web pages they need to check the installed programs and see if any type of ad software is intalled, then if it is there, uninstall it.
By the way, thank you C F McBlob for your response.
