TeamViewer is a simple and fast solution for remote control, desktop sharing and file transfer that works behind any firewall and NAT proxy.

Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Apache HTTP Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to gain access to potentially sensitive information, cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) The “ap_proxy_ajp_request()” function in modules/proxy/mod_proxy_ajp.c of the mod_proxy_ajp module returns the “HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR” error code when processing certain malformed requests. This can be exploited to put the backend server into an error state until the retry timeout expired by sending specially crafted requests.

2) The mod_isapi module unloads ISAPI modules before the request processing is complete, potentially leaving orphaned callback pointers behind. This can be exploited by sending a specially crafted request followed by a reset packet.

Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges on Windows systems.

3) An error exists within the header handling when processing subrequests, which can lead to sensitive information from a request being handled by the wrong thread if a multi-threaded Multi-Processing Module (MPM) is used.

To protect yourself and your server please upgrade to version 2.2.15 as soon as you can.

Firefox version 3.6 is now available for all. And this time around there seams to be a lot of improvements – and one I’ve already noticed for sure – SPEED. 20% faster at least!

Read all about the upgrade, features and improvements here.

As I’m sure a lot of you have noticed my blog has been gone for the last 10 days. Reason being a complete new set-up on the server which is kindly hosted by my brother by the way. I wont go in to too much details but let us just say that a new structure with increased security was needed…

Therefore, should you be running your own Linux server with Apache please feel free to share your favuorite tricks that makes your server “bullet-proofed”.

Thanks in advance, and looking forward to hearing from you all

I’ve just updated to the latest Opera 10 Beta. I must say I’m very impressed. Loads quick, both start-up and page loading times. Looks nice and adding widgets (like the FF plugins) is straightforward and quick.

Just have in mind that, like Opera states:

This is a beta version of Opera. Please use it only on properly backed-up computers. It is a stability release and records additions, fixes, and improvements made to Opera 10.0 beta 2. For your reference, please see the previous Opera 10.0 beta 2 for Windows changelog which was released on July 16, 2009.

I haven’t had any issues but others definitely had (thus the stability update). To try it on yourself simply visit their “next” download section.

Happy surfing!
