Microsoft is pleased to announce our sixteenth BlueHat Security Conference set for November 3-4, 2016 at the Microsoft Conference Center here in Redmond. BlueHat is a unique opportunity for Microsoft engineers and the security community to come together learn about the current threat landscape and challenge the thinking and we actions we do in security.

Microsoft is pleased to announce another expansion of the Microsoft Bounty Programs. Today we begin a bounty for the Nano Server installation option of Windows Server 2016Technical Preview 5. Please visit https://aka.ms/BugBounty to find more details. Nano Server is a remotely administered, headless installation option of the server operating system. In this first release, the Nano Server deployment is focused on two scenarios:

Updates have historically been published on both the Microsoft Download Center and the Microsoft Update Catalog and Security Bulletins linked directly to update packages on the Microsoft Download Center. Some updates will no longer be available from the Microsoft Download Center. Security bulletins will continue to link directly to the updates, but will point to the packages on the Microsoft Update Catalog for updates not available on the Microsoft Download Center.

At Microsoft, we continue to add new properties to our security bug bounty programs to help keep our customer’s secure. Today, I’m pleased to announce the addition of Microsoft OneDrive to the Microsoft Online Services Bug Bounty Program. This addition further incentivizes security researchers to report service vulnerabilities to Microsoft. As part of the Microsoft Online Services Bug Bounty Program, the payouts will range from $500 - $15,000 USD.

The SSLv2 protocol, as used in OpenSSL before 1.0.1s and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2g and other products, requires a server to send a ServerVerify message before establishing that a client possesses certain plaintext RSA data, which makes it easier for remote attackers to decrypt TLS ciphertext data by leveraging a Bleichenbacher RSA padding oracle, aka a "DROWN" attack.

The Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) benefits enterprises and all computer users by helping to protect against security threats and breaches that can disrupt businesses and daily lives. It does this by anticipating, diverting, terminating, blocking, or otherwise invalidating the most common actions and techniques adversaries might use to compromise a computer.

Introduction Introduction Both Internet Explorer (IE) and Edge have seen significant changes in order to help protect customers from security threats. This work has featured a number of mitigations that together have not only rendered classes of vulnerabilities not-exploitable, but also dramatically raised the cost for attackers to develop a working exploit.

Valve Steam 2.10.91.91 uses weak permissions (Users: read and write) for the Install folder, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse steam.exe file.

As we inch closer to the 15th BlueHat Security Conference, we are happy to announce the lineup of speakers and topics for this event. This year will continue with a solid speaker and topic selection that engage engineers, executives, and invited guests to discuss and tackle some of the hardest problems facing the industry today.

Integer underflow in LibreOffice before 4.4.5 and Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.2, when the configuration setting "Load printer settings with the document" is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted PrinterSetup data in an ODF document.
