If you are relying on full disk encryption, see the last story for pointers to all the vendor white papers on how they are dealing with the attack. Before you fully trust their assurances you may find value in reading the Swa Frantzen's Internet Storm Center entry on this topic at http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=4043 . Also, we have scheduled a web cast on what to do about the cold boot problem: next Thursday (March 6). In fact, take a look at the list of webcasts at the end of this issue - they are much more useful than most of the security web casts being promoted by the publishing companies.
Note for people planning to attend security training this spring: The deadline for savings on SANS08 in Orlando is next Wednesday, March 5. More information: http://www.sans.org/sans2008,
Safer Web Applications: If you are buying or building any important web applications, there's a special class in Orlando that enables your developers to ensure they have mastered the essentials of secure coding in Java. It's the only prep course so far for the now-mandatory GSSP secure programming examination for developers. We are offering a 35% discount on that course (April 22- 25) if the person agrees to give us detailed feedback on how to improve the course further. Email ccalhoun@sans.org for the discount code.

Google Health Privacy Concerns (February 27 & 28, 2008)
The emergence of personal health record management services has raised privacy concerns. Google is piloting one such product - Google Health - - with the Cleveland Clinic. While the online dossiers offer the convenience of being able to merge health data, they are controlled by consumers, not physicians, and are therefore not protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Although Google and other entities developing similar products maintain they will offer even more stringent protections than HIPAA's, "the very existence of a detailed health dossier accessible in an instant can make control difficult."-http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/26/AR2008022602993.

-http://www.informationweek.com/shared/printableArticle.jhtml?articleID=206900841
[Editor's Note (Schultz): The issue described in this news item introduces a new dimension to data security protection woes. Count on the fact that if users are in the loop, security risk will skyrocket.
(Pescatore): It is not a given that there will be huge demand from consumers for these personal heath records, as the financial information aggregation services that are the finance record equivalent of this really didn't explode. However, it is inevitable that some consumers will want to aggregate and control their own medical information to have some increased level of control of their medical care and some increased leverage in reducing costs through competition and second opinions and the like. The real key issues here are (1) making sure that all such services have external security audits and (2) *most importantly* that they be required to make any and all third party use of consumer health be purely opt-in with full audit and accountability. It is one thing for the Googles and the Microsofts or others to make some money by selling advertising around medical record access; it's a whole different issue to be able to resell medical-related information, even if it is only at the aggregate or metadata level. ]
German Court Overrules Blanket Covert PC Surveillance (February 28, 2008)
Germany's Federal Constitutional Court, which reviews laws passed in that country, has overruled provisions of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia's Constitutional Protection Act that allowed investigators to conduct covert searches of PCs over the Internet. The judges found that the blanket searches severely violated privacy, and restricted covert PC surveillance to instances when "there is evidence that an important overriding right would otherwise be violated."-http://www.heise.de/english/newsticker/news/print/104196

Alaska House Passes Personal Information Protection Act (February 28, 2008)
With a vote of 35-0, Alaska's House of Representatives has passed HB 65, the Personal Information Protection Act. The bill would require organizations to notify citizens when their personal data are compromised in a security breach. Other provisions in the bill include banning the sale and disclosure of Social Security numbers (SSNs), and allowing consumers to freeze their credit reports. The bill now goes to the Senate. If the legislation passes, Alaska will become the 31st state to have an identity theft law.-http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2008/02/28/ap4710415.html

Home Office Disk Found Hidden in Laptop Sold on eBay (February 28 & 29, 2008)
A laptop computer purchased on eBay contained a surprise - a disk hidden beneath the keyboard and labeled "Home Office" and "Confidential." The disk was discovered when the buyer took it to a repair shop; both the disk and the computer were encrypted. The Home Office has launched an investigation into the matter.[Editor's Note (Pescatore): This is an oddball one (I've never even *seen* a laptop where you could hide something under the keyboard) but it is very common to see sensitive business information show on computers and PDAs (and likely smartphones in the future) on eBay or other sites where decommissioned business IT gear is resold. Businesses should have a policy and process for cleansing all memory and storage before surplussing IT equipment, or have services built into surplussing contracts that make sure it happens.

WORMS, ACTIVE EXPLOITS, VULNERABILITIES & PATCHES
Mozilla Releases Thunderbird Update (February 27, 2008)
Mozilla has released an updated version of its Thunderbird email client, Thunderbird 2.0.0.12, to address several flaws that could be exploited to take control of vulnerable computers. The most serious of the flaws is a critical heap buffer overflow vulnerability in external MIME bodies that could allow remote code execution with current user privileges. The flaw affects Windows and Linux versions of Thunderbird. The other flaws include information disclosure, directory traversal, privilege escalation, cross-site scripting, and remote code execution. Users are urged to upgrade as soon as possible.-http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/Code-Execution-Flaw-Haunts-Mozilla-Thunderbird

US-CERT Warns of Windows CE Trojan (February 26, 2008)
The US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) has issued a warning about malware that attacks devices running Microsoft Windows CE. The WinCE/InfoJack Trojan horse program steals mobile devices' serial numbers, operating system information and other data and uploads them to a website controlled by the attacker. It also disables Windows Mobile application installation security to allow other malware to be loaded onto the infected device without the user's knowledge.-http://www.eweek.com/index2.php?option=content&task=view&id=46639&po

Irish Data Commissioner: Lost Laptop with Irish Blood Donor Info Not a DPA Breach (February 27, 2008)
Following an investigation, the Irish Data Protection Commissioner has determined that the theft of a laptop computer containing personal information belonging to approximately 175,000 Irish citizens was not a violation of the Data Protection Act. The laptop computer was stolen in New York from an employee of a company that had been hired by the Irish Blood transfusion Service (IBTS) to develop a query tool. The encryption used to protect the data was determined to be sufficient, as the key was not stored on the laptop itself.-http://www.siliconrepublic.com/news/news.nv?storyid=single10391
Experts Weigh in on Cold Boot Attack Defenses (February 22, 2008)
In response to the recently published research paper describing how encryption key algorithms can be extracted from DRAM chips for a period even after PCs have been powered off, encryption experts have come forward to say that the attack can be thwarted by holding keys in hardware instead of software and fully deploying the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) authentication specification. Internet Storm Center Entries:-http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=4043

rts/PrintArticle/107192/
[Editor's Note (Frantzen): Any cryptographic software can lose control of its keys in this manner, not just full disk encryption.
(Cole): The cold boot attack has a cool factor to it, but remember that full disk encryption will protect a system only if it has a strong password (two factor recommended) and if the system is completely turned off. Use of a USB token stops the attack. If you turn your system completely off (and hold on to it for more than 5 seconds) the attack is not successful. If you do not follow either of these rules, than full disk encryption can potentially be broken even without this attack. ]

The past year has seen several wed worm attacks agasint various online applications. While these worms have gotten more sophisticated and made us of additional technologies like Flash and media formats, they all have had some basic limitations such as infecting new domains and injection methods. These worms are fairly easily detected using signatures and these limitations have made web worms annoying, but ultimately controllable. Ths paper examines the possibility of hybrid web worms which use several methods to overcome the limitations of current web worms. Specifically the authors examine how a hybrid web worm: mutates itself to evade defenses; updates itself with neew attack vectors while in the wild; and finds and exploits targets regardless of whether they are cliet web browsers or web servers.

Virtualization and on board service processors are making log management systems obsolete and opening their customers to huge compliance issues. All existing log management systems are based on an 'inside out' agent based, SYSLOG and SNMP architecture. This model is obsolete in today's datacenter. Traditional log management systems do not log all events or watch the data center all the time, opening the door to Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA and other compliance risks.
