2001: A Space PodysseyEpisode 47 - LEONOV: Meet The Crew! (2010: The Year We Make Content)We've examined the ship, now let's get to know our cosmonaut crew mates aboard LEONOV. Here are the stories of our super-scientist, coffee-chugging Russian roomies and the fascinating lives of the great actors who played them. (Aside from Captain Kirbuk, who is, of course, "The Queen.") Hope "Moscow on the Hudson" is on your bingo card...
They made incredible sacrifices for their families, faiths, and artistic freedom. Maybe we can see ourselves in the faces of all those looking for a better life.
Plus: Herve Villechaize, Robin Williams, and Soundgarden.

October was an interesting and busy month for me. I started a new job, worked on my open source Vulristics project, and analyzed vulnerabilities using it. Especially Linux vulnerabilities as part of my new Linux Patch Wednesday project. And, of course, analyzed Microsoft Patch Tuesday as well. In addition, at the end of October I was a guest lecturer at MIPT/PhysTech university. But first thing first.

This episode will be about Microsoft Patch Tuesday for July 2023, including vulnerabilities that were added between June and July Patch Tuesdays. As usual, I use my open source Vulristics project to analyse and prioritize vulnerabilities. I optimized the detection of the vulnerable product and the type of vulnerability based on the description. Now processing already downloaded data (with option –rewrite-flag "False") takes a few seconds. For example, only ~3 seconds for 100 MS Patch Tuesday vulnerabilities. It used to take a few minutes.

2023-01-1306 minAVLEONOV PodcastEp.81 - How Debian OVAL content is structuredHello everyone! As we saw in the last episode, the results of vulnerability detection for one host produced by two different APIs can vary greatly. Therefore, in order to find out the truth, it is necessary to understand what vulnerability data is provided by the Linux distribution vendor and how this data is structured. Why is it important to do this? Because using data from a Linux distribution vendor, we can ask vulnerability detection API vendors questions: why are you detecting in a different way than described in this data? And then we will understand what caused the difference. And...

It’s especially nice that all the code to support the new API was written and contributed by colleagues from Vulns.io. I just had to do the final test. Many thanks to them for this!

This episode will be about Microsoft Patch Tuesday for December 2022, including vulnerabilities that were added between November and December Patch Tuesdays. As usual, I use my open source Vulristics project to analyse and prioritize vulnerabilities. But let’s start with an older vulnerability. This will be another example why vulnerability prioritization is a tricky thing and you should patch everything. In the September Microsoft Patch Tuesday there was a vulnerability Information Disclosure – SPNEGO Extended Negotiation (NEGOEX) Security Mechanism (CVE-2022-37958), which was completely unnoticed by everyone. Not a single VM vendor paid attention to it in their reviews. I di...

In my English-language telegram chat avleonovchat, the question was asked: “How to find zero day vulnerabilities with Qualys?” Apparently this question can be expanded. Not just with Qualys, but with any VM solution in general. And is it even possible? There was an interesting discussion. The question is not so straightforward. To answer it, we need to define what a Zero Day vulnerability is.

Americans can't just release a list of "20 vulnerabilities most commonly exploited in attacks on American organizations." They like to add geopolitics and point the finger at some country.

If we add the vulnerabilities released between August and September Patch Tuesdays (as usual, they were in Microsoft Edge), the final number is 90. Much less than usual.

Also, as usual, I take into account the vulnerabilities added between the July and August Patch Tuesdays. There were 147 vulnerabilities. Urgent: 1, Critical: 0, High: 36, Medium: 108, Low: 2. There was a lot of great stuff this Patch Tuesday.

I mean the recent publication of a propaganda report about evil Russians and how Microsoft is involved in the conflict between countries. It wouldn't be unusual for a US government agency, NSA or CIA to publish such a report. But when a global IT vendor, which, in theory, should be more or less neutral, does this… This is a clear signal. It's not about business anymore.

We must start with the fact that this year is fundamentally different. We now live in The New Reality of Information Security (TNRoIS).

This episode will be about last week's high-profile vulnerabilities in Spring. Let's figure out what happened. Of course, it's amazing how fragmented the software development world has become. Now there are so many technologies, programming languages, libraries and frameworks! It becomes very difficult to keep them all in sight. Especially if it's not the stack you use every day. Entropy keeps growing every year. Programmers are relying more and more on off-the-shelf libraries and frameworks, even where it may not be fully justified. And vulnerabilities in these off-the-shelf components lead to huge problems. So it was in the...

When publishing the project code on Github, developers forget to remove credentials: logins, passwords, tokens. What to do if this becomes known? Well, of course, these credentials must be urgently changed. What was publicly available on the Internet cannot be completely removed. This data is indexed and copied by some systems. But wiping it from github.com is real. Why is it not enough to just delete the file in the...

It’s even strange to talk about other vulnerabilities, while everyone is so focused on vulnerabilities in log4j. But life doesn’t stop. Other vulnerabilities appear every day. And of course, there are many critical ones among them that require immediate patching. This episode will be about Microsoft Patch Tuesday for December 2021. I will traditionally use my open source Vulristics tool for analysis.

This time, let’s talk about recent vulnerabilities. I’ll start with Microsoft Patch Tuesday for September 2021. I created a report using my Vulristics tool. A link to the full report in the blogpost. The most interesting thing about the September Patch Tuesday is that the top 3 VM vendors ignored almost all RCEs in their reviews. However, there were interesting RCEs in the Office products. And what is most unforgivable is that they did not mention CVE-2021-38647 RCE in OMI – Open Management Infrastructure. Only ZDI wrote about this.

The most commonly used names for this vulnerability are EternalDarkness, SMBGhost and CoronaBlue.There was a strange story of how it was disclosed. It seems like Microsoft accidentally mentioned it in their blog. Than they somehow found out that the patch for this vulnerability will not be released in the March Patch Tuesday. So, they removed the reference to this vulnerability from the blogpost as quickly as they could.
