ms08 078 – The Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) : MS08-078 Released

Much Ado Over Microsoft’s (Somewhat) Rare Out-Of-Band Patch

Posted by George Hulme, Dec 17, 2008 08:00 PM

My advice: Patch this puppy, and don’t worry about whether or not Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) should have published this update out of its normal monthly update cycle.

Last week, right on Patch Tuesday, in fact, Microsoft learned of a zero-day vulnerability, and toward the end of the week, it was being widely exploited.

The first point is that more zero-days are being released on, or right after, Patch Tuesday. This is no doubt a tactic designed to maximize the shelf life of the exploit. I fully expect this trend to increase, especially as more software vendors publish software security updates on a standard schedule. I still think this practice reaps more benefit than harm: without it, there would be more zero-day attacks and we’d be patching our systems every week. That drains enterprise resources.

Second: Microsoft had to release this patch because the vulnerability was being exploited, and users could get attacked just by visiting a Web site — even so-called trusted Web sites. It was getting nasty.

As was explained to Thomas Claburn in this story:

“The browser flaw had been disclosed roughly one week ago as a zero-day vulnerability, and active exploits have been around the Internet for that time frame as well,” Qualys CTO Wolfgang Kandek said in an e-mailed statement. “The workarounds provided by Microsoft were very technical and quite cumbersome to implement, making it imperative for Microsoft to release a fix as quickly as possible.”

That sums it up well. The workarounds were quite kludgey.

However, I have to take partial issue with this take from Roel Schouwenberg, senior antivirus researcher with Kaspersky Lab, Americas, on what this flaw’s lack of wormability, and subsequent out-of-band patch, means:

“[That] shows that the wormability of a vulnerability is no longer a good indicator of the seriousness of a threat and that these Web-based threats are now much more dangerous than network worms,” said Roel Schouwenberg, senior antivirus researcher for Kaspersky Lab, Americas, in an e-mailed statement.

I see his point, and actually agree that Web-based threats are both more prevalent and more dangerous (in many scenarios I can think of) than network worms. However, “worm ability” is still a strong indicator of the seriousness of a threat.

And we will see more Web-based worms in the future. Why? Because they’re more profitable than network worms. The age of network worms died largely because there’s more profit to develop exploits that can make a buck: not worms that essentially cause widespread denial-of-service situations.

Wormable or not. Whether Microsoft should have gone out-of-band with this one, or not. You need to patch MS08-078.

Eric Schultze, CTO at Shavlik Technologies, e-mailed me an interesting wager: “I’d bet you a cookie that many companies can’t get it rolled out as quickly as Microsoft got it built.”

I’ll bet he’s right.

DataVision Hits Black Friday, Cyber Monday Jackpot

By Steven Burke, ChannelWeb

DataVision, one of the fastest-growing online players in the country with its datavis.com Web site, is seeing big sales gains as a result of an expanded online presence backed up by a new, 30,000-square-foot, climate-controlled warehouse.The new warehouse, which opened last month, is giving the retailer all the muscle DataVision needs to break through with strong e-tail sales with great consumer electronics values in the end-of-the-year holiday dash.

Located in Long Island City, N.Y., 15 minutes from the company’s premier retail location at 445 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, the new warehouse allowed DataVision to ship 5,000 shipments on Cyber Monday compared to 500 shipments one year ago.

Al Liniado, president of DataVision, said he expects the new warehouse and expanded online presence to allow DataVision to break the $100-million mark, with 20 percent sales growth in 2009.

“We are looking at 2009 being our best year ever even with the economy with the state it is in,” he said. “People want deals online and that is what we are giving them!”

“Online sales is the future,” Liniado added. “We are seeing customers being converted from online back to the retail storefront, which gives them the best of both worlds: having the best price and being able to see the product at our strategic location at 39th Street and Fifth Avenue. We are the new international one-stop shop for retail and online sales.”

Liniado said Black Friday sales were up 20 percent over last year. Among the top sellers were netbooks, including the Asus EEE PC 904HA product, Panasonic, Samsung and LG Flat Panel Televisions, Garmin and Tom Tom GPS devices, and perennial best-sellers, Apple (NSDQ:AAPL) iPods and Sony Reader.

The new warehouse, which is in addition to a 25,000-square-foot warehouse in New York City, gives DataVision the ability to assure that flat-screen televisions and other electronics devices are not subject to harsh weather or rain during shipping. “The trucks pull up inside the warehouse and they go from the warehouse right into the truck,” Liniado said. “It really helps with quality control and speeds things up.”
