CVE -2018-17532: Teltonika RUT9XX Unauthenticated OS Command Injection

Teltonika TUT9XX routers with firmware before 00.04.233 are prone to multiple unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerabilities in autologin.cgi and hotspotlogin.cgi due to insufficient user input sanitization. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.

CVE-2018-17533: Teltonika RUT9XX Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Teltonika Rut9XX routers with firmware before 00.05.01.1 are prone to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in hotspotlogin.cgi due to insufficient user input sanitization.

CVE-2018-17534: Teltonika RUT9XX Missing Acces Control to UART Root Terminal

Teltonika RUT9XX routers with firmware before 00.04.233 provide a root terminal on a serial interface without proper access control. This allows attackers with physical access to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.

Security & Safety: 2 schools of thought – 1 goal?

The (ISC)2 / ISACA Conference hosted in TU Wien´s dome hall on October 11, 2018 counted a total of 170 participants and 9 talks contributing experience and knowledge from different fields.

The agenda addressed the independent yet inseparable function of security and safety aiming to prevent still stand, blackouts and manipulation.  The thematic focus was put on potential future problems as well as their possible solution.

Edgar Weippl gave a keynote on Research Methods and Examples of Research in Distributed Systems Security at the SST 2018 in Osijek, Croatia.

Abstract: Over the past few years an increasing number of descriptive works have helped explain complex phenomena in the area of distributed systems security. These include the efficiency of spam campaigns, the distribution of bots, or the likelihood of users to accept false identities as friends in social networks. Studies in this field are characterized by the necessity of empirical research based on observing, describing and inferring the behaviour of complex systems.

Aljosha Judmayer talked about the latest Security fails and the role of IT-Security in Blockchain at the Blockchain in corporate practice event hosted by the Austrian Innovation Forum.
