An issue was discovered in the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) 6.07.100. A hardcoded DES key in the LDAPDesPWEncrypter class allows an attacker, who has discovered encrypted LDAP bind credentials, to decrypt those credentials using a static 8-byte DES key.

Fedora 36 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (RHEL 9) are out, and both ship with OpenSSL 3 that has tighter security defaults and a brand new "provider" architecture.

Spirits were high at the return of the in-person contest, which kicked off by bringing last year's virtual event winner on stage.

An issue was discovered in certain Verbatim drives through 2022-03-31. The security feature for lockout (e.g., requiring a reformat of the drive after 20 failed unlock attempts) does not work as specified. More than 20 attempts may be made. This affects Keypad Secure USB 3.2 Gen 1 Drive Part Number #49428 and Store 'n' Go Secure Portable HDD GD25LK01-3637-C VER4.0.

An issue was discovered in certain Verbatim drives through 2022-03-31. Due to an insecure design, they can be unlocked by an attacker who can then gain unauthorized access to the stored data. The attacker can simply use an undocumented IOCTL command that retrieves the correct password. This affects Executive Fingerprint Secure SSD GDMSFE01-INI3637-C VER1.1 and Fingerprint Secure Portable Hard Drive Part Number #53650.

An issue was discovered in certain Verbatim drives through 2022-03-31. Due to missing integrity checks, an attacker can manipulate the content of the emulated CD-ROM drive (containing the Windows and macOS client software). The content of this emulated CD-ROM drive is stored as an ISO-9660 image in the hidden sectors of the USB drive, that can only be accessed using special IOCTL commands, or when installing the drive in an external disk enclosure. By manipulating this ISO-9660 image or replacing it with another one, an attacker is able to store malicious software on the emulated CD-ROM drive. This software may get executed by an unsuspecting victim when using the device. For example, an attacker with temporary physical access during the supply chain could program a modified ISO-9660 image on a device that always accepts an attacker-controlled password for unlocking the device. If the attacker later on gains access to the used USB drive, he can simply decrypt all contained user data. S...

An issue was discovered in certain Verbatim drives through 2022-03-31. Due to an insecure design, they allow an offline brute-force attack for determining the correct passcode, and thus gaining unauthorized access to the stored encrypted data. This affects Keypad Secure USB 3.2 Gen 1 Drive Part Number #49428 and Store 'n' Go Secure Portable HDD GD25LK01-3637-C VER4.0.

An issue was discovered in certain Verbatim drives through 2022-03-31. Due to insufficient firmware validation, an attacker can store malicious firmware code for the USB-to-SATA bridge controller on the USB drive (e.g., by leveraging physical access during the supply chain). This code is then executed. This affects Keypad Secure USB 3.2 Gen 1 Drive Part Number #49428, Store 'n' Go Secure Portable HDD GD25LK01-3637-C VER4.0, Executive Fingerprint Secure SSD GDMSFE01-INI3637-C VER1.1, and Fingerprint Secure Portable Hard Drive Part Number #53650.

An issue was discovered in certain Verbatim drives through 2022-03-31. Due to the use of an insecure encryption AES mode (Electronic Codebook, aka ECB), an attacker may be able to extract information even from encrypted data, for example by observing repeating byte patterns. The firmware of the USB-to-SATA bridge controller INIC-3637EN uses AES-256 with the ECB mode. This operation mode of block ciphers (e.g., AES) always encrypts identical plaintext data, in this case blocks of 16 bytes, to identical ciphertext data. For some data, for instance bitmap images, the lack of the cryptographic property called diffusion, within ECB, can leak sensitive information even in encrypted data. Thus, the use of the ECB operation mode can put the confidentiality of specific information at risk, even in an encrypted form. This affects Keypad Secure USB 3.2 Gen 1 Drive Part Number #49428, Store 'n' Go Secure Portable HDD GD25LK01-3637-C VER4.0, Executive Fingerprint Secure SSD GDMSFE01-INI3637-C VER1....
