Microsoft issues tool to block code execution bug
The flaw can be exploited by adding a malicious DLL to a media archive
Warns that many third-party apps could be vulnerable
The flaw, which was discovered by Acros Security, is called a “binary planting” bug and can be exploited as applications load dynamic link libraries (DLL). Acros discovered the flaw last year and was surprised at the extent of the problem.
“We first developed a tool for detecting these bugs and then, time permitting, subjected about 220 widely-used applications to the powers of our tool,” said the company in a blog posting.
“[We were] initially expecting only a few bugs here and there, [so] we were surprised to find about 90 per cent of the applications vulnerable. And when I say ‘vulnerable’, I mean vulnerable to remote execution in a real-world scenario, without having any privileges on the user’s computer.”
The flaw can be exploited by adding a malicious DLL to a media archive. If an application searches through directories for the DLL the malware can be activated.
Government backtracks on broadband promise and “creates imbalance”
The government has reneged on an election pledge relating to high-speed fibre-optic networks
Before its election, the Conservative Party promised to reform the taxation of high-speed fibre-optic networks in the UK. However, Ed Vaizey, minister for culture, communications and creative industries admitted last week that no such review would take place.
“The decision not to conduct the review creates an imbalance,” said Hugo Harber, director of convergence and network strategy at Star, a UK-based provider of cloud services. “If you’re running a small network, and you’re not one of the big two [BT and Virgin Media], then it’s going to cost you more to run fibre to a local area.”
Harber explained that there’s a steep discount policy when it comes to laying fibre; whilst laying the initial fibre is very expensive, economies of scale dictate that it is far more cost-effective to lay additional fibres.
A large company will be able to justify the initial fee as it will be more likely to be laying a substantial amount of fibre, leading to higher revenues.
‘Avatar’ Director and NASA Focus on Earth Science Exploration in PSA Campaign

“When NASA ventures into space, it remembers to keep a steady eye on home,” Cameron said. “Its fleet of Earth-orbiting satellites constantly reveals our whole planet: its remotest places, its mysteries and the powerful influence of humans.”
Cameron’s 3-D epic, based on the fictional planet of Pandora is coming back to theaters this week. The story centers on a beautiful planet threatened by forces that want to exploit its natural resources.
The public service announcements feature “Avatar” film imagery and include computer animations and data from NASA’s fleet of Earth-observing satellites. NASA has 14 science satellites in orbit making cutting-edge global observations of the entire global system including the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, snow and ice.
Five minutes with ACMA’s Tom Burton
Why is it important for a government department, such as ACMA, to develop a stronger relationship with the public?
The explosion, I suppose, in web communication tools is here, it’s not going away and it’s creating a whole new way of communicating. The language I like to use is creating a ‘conversational media’. We’ve seen enough of it now to know that it’s very transformative and if you don’t participate in it as an organisation then the conversation will happen despite you.
So organisations — not just government, it’s all organisations — need to participate otherwise their voice is not heard and they don’t get their view across.
The technology is here and it’s certainly not going away. If you don’t participate in the space then someone else will and it won’t necessarily be what you think is in your best interests.
