[FD] ERPSCAN Research Advisory [ERPSCAN-15-017] SAP NetWeaver J2EE DAS service - Unauthorized Access

ERPSCAN Research Advisory [ERPSCAN-15-017] SAP NetWeaver J2EE DAS service - Unauthorized Access Application: SAP NetWeaver Versions Affected: SAP NetWeaver AS JAVA, probably others Vendor URL: http://SAP.com Bugs: Unauthorized access Sent: 20.04.2013 Reported: 21.04.2013 Vendor response: 21.04.2013 Date of Public Advisory: 13.10.2015 Reference: SAP Security Note 1945215 Author: Alexander Polyakov (ERPScan) Description 1. ADVISORY INFORMATION Title: SAP NetWeaver J2EE DAS service – Unauthorized Access Advisory ID: [ERPSCAN-15-017] Risk: High Advisory URL: http://ift.tt/1LUhGI1 Date published: 13.10.2015 Vendors contacted: SAP 2. VULNERABILITY INFORMATION Class: Unauthorized Access [CWE-284] Impact: Unauthorized access to some functions Remotely Exploitable: Yes Locally Exploitable: No CVSS Information CVSS Base Score: 3.5 / 10 CVSS Base Vector: AV : Access Vector (Related exploit range) Network (N) AC : Access Complexity (Required attack complexity) Medium (M) Au : Authentication (Level of authentication needed to exploit) Single (S) C : Impact to Confidentiality Partial (P) I : Impact to Integrity None (N) A : Impact to Availability None (N) 3. VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION An authenticated user can use the functions of XML Data Archiving Service access to which should be restricted. This may result in privilege escalation. 4. VULNERABLE PACKAGES SAP NetWeaver AS JAVA Other versions are probably affected too, but they were not checked. 5. SOLUTIONS AND WORKAROUNDS To correct this vulnerability, install SAP Security Note 1945215. 6. AUTHOR Alexander Polyakov (ERPScan) 7. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION It is possible to call some of the DAS files without authorization because they do not check if a user is authorized to access some of the JSPs. Most JSPs have authorization checks: String authorization = (String) session.getAttribute("AuthRequHead"); if (authorization == null) authorization = ""; But in 3 JSPs those checks are not included: http://SAP_IP/DataArchivingService/webcontent/cas/cas_enter.jsp http://SAP_IP/DataArchivingService/webcontent/cas/cas_validate.jsp http://SAP_IP/DataArchivingService/webcontent/aas/aas_store.jsp It means that an anonymous user can call those JSPs. The most critical one is cas_enter.jsp. We can create any archiving directory and also: 1) Check if there is any file or directory on the server by analyzing the response while creating an archive store 2) Perform an SMBRelay attack by putting something like \\remotehost\aa into the Windows root variable 3) Potentially make HTTP calls and other calls while using WebDav 8.

ISS Daily Summary Report – 10/15/15

Plant Gravity Sensing 2 (PGS2) Run 1:  Following up on Lindgren’s treatment yesterday of the growing plants with a chemical reagent that induces a bioluminescence response, today Yui removed the reagent with an absorbent and placed them in a Photon Counting Unit (PCU).  Photon measurements will be taken over the next 24 hours.  Lindgren noted yesterday that one of the four culture dishes was contaminated and, after coordination with ground experts, he discarded that dish.  Plant calcium concentrations have been shown to change in response to the direction of gravity:  the treated plants will emit photons when the culture dishes they are growing in are rotated so that they are “upside down.”  The PGS2 investigation supports the study of cellular formation of the plant’s gravity sensors and the molecular mechanism for gravity sensing in plants grown in microgravity conditions.   MAGVECTOR:  Today Lindgren completed the sixth run of the European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) MAGVECTOR experiment begun last Friday, October 9th, by transferring data from a jump drive to a Station Support Computer (SSC).  MAGVECTOR qualitatively investigates the interaction between a moving magnetic field and an electrical conductor. The expected changes in the magnetic field structure on the ram and wake side of the electrical conductor are of interest for technical applications as well as for astrophysical research.   SOLAR:  Measurements continue to be taken for European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) SOLAR investigation during the current sun visibility window which is open from October 9th to October 19th.  The goal of the SOLAR instruments is to measure solar spectral irradiance and variability.   Journals:  Kelly made Journals entries today. The Journals investigation obtains information on behavioral and human issues that are relevant to the design of equipment and procedures used during astronauts during extended-duration missions. Study results provide information used in preparation for future missions to low-Earth orbit and beyond.   Space Headaches: Yui answered his weekly Space Headaches questionnaire today.  Headaches can be a common complaint during spaceflight. The Space Headaches experiment will provide information that may help in the development of methods to alleviate associated symptoms and improvement in the well-being and performance of crew members in space.   Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Preparation:  Lindgren and Kelly obtained body measurements on each other as part of Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) On-Orbit Fit Verification (OFV).  The measurements will be used to confirm the correct sizing of the EMU suits prior to going EVA on October 28th.  In addition, they installed Rechargeable EVA Battery Assemblies (REBA) on EMU suits 3003 and 3010.  Once installed, they performed a checkout to verify the EMU Glove heaters were functional and helmet cameras were receiving power.   Lastly, Lindgren replaced the gas trap on EMU 3010.   Ocular Health:  Yui and Lindgren executed their Medical Operations Flight Day 90 (FD90) Ocular Health activities with Kelly’s assistance.  Both performed Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and fundoscope measurements with Kelly as operator.   Today’s Planned Activities All activities were completed unless otherwise noted.

M16 and the Eagle Nebula

A star cluster around 2 million years young surrounded by natal clouds of dust and glowing gas, M16 is also known as The Eagle Nebula. This beautifully detailed image of the region includes cosmic sculptures made famous in Hubble Space Telescope close-ups of the starforming complex. Described as elephant trunks or Pillars of Creation, dense, dusty columns rising near the center are light-years in length but are gravitationally contracting to form stars. Energetic radiation from the cluster stars erodes material near the tips, eventually exposing the embedded new stars. Extending from the ridge of bright emission left of center is another dusty starforming column known as the Fairy of Eagle Nebula. M16 and the Eagle Nebula lie about 7,000 light-years away, an easy target for binoculars or small telescopes in a nebula rich part of the sky toward the split constellation Serpens Cauda (the tail of the snake). via NASA http://ift.tt/1OEGdzJ

[FD] Qualys Security Advisory - LibreSSL (CVE-2015-5333 and CVE-2015-5334)

Qualys Security Advisory LibreSSL (CVE-2015-5333 and CVE-2015-5334) ======================================================================== Contents ======================================================================== Summary Memory Leak (CVE-2015-5333) Buffer Overflow (CVE-2015-5334) Acknowledgments ======================================================================== Summary ======================================================================== In order to achieve remote code execution against the vulnerabilities that we recently discovered in OpenSMTPD (CVE-2015-7687), a memory leak is needed. Because we could not find one in OpenSMTPD itself, we started to review the malloc()s and free()s of its libraries, and eventually found a memory leak in LibreSSL's OBJ_obj2txt() function; we then realized that this function also contains a buffer overflow (an off-by-one, usually stack-based). The vulnerable function OBJ_obj2txt() is reachable through X509_NAME_oneline() and d2i_X509(), which is called automatically to decode the X.509 certificates exchanged during an SSL handshake (both client-side, unless an anonymous mode is used, and server-side, if client authentication is requested). These vulnerabilities affect all LibreSSL versions, including LibreSSL 2.0.0 (the first public release) and LibreSSL 2.3.0 (the latest release at the time of writing). OpenSSL is not affected. ======================================================================== Memory Leak (CVE-2015-5333) ======================================================================== OBJ_obj2txt() converts an ASN.1 object identifier (the ASN1_OBJECT a) into a null-terminated string of numerical subidentifiers separated by dots (at most buf_len bytes are written to buf). Large subidentifiers are temporarily stored in a BIGNUM (bl) and converted by BN_bn2dec() into a printable string of decimal characters (bndec). Many such bndec strings can be malloc()ated and memory-leaked in a loop, because only the last one will be free()d, after the end of the loop: 489 int 490 OBJ_obj2txt(char *buf, int buf_len, const ASN1_OBJECT *a, int no_name) 491 { ... 494 char *bndec = NULL; ... 516 len = a->length; ... 519 while (len > 0) { ... 570 bndec = BN_bn2dec(bl); 571 if (!bndec) 572 goto err; 573 i = snprintf(buf, buf_len, ".%s", bndec); ... 598 } ... 601 free(bndec); ... 609 } This memory leak allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) or trigger the buffer overflow described below. ======================================================================== Buffer Overflow (CVE-2015-5334) ======================================================================== As a result of CVE-2014-3508, OBJ_obj2txt() was modified to "Ensure that, at every state, |buf| is NUL-terminated." However, in LibreSSL, the error-handling code at the end of the function may write this null-terminator out-of-bounds: 489 int 490 OBJ_obj2txt(char *buf, int buf_len, const ASN1_OBJECT *a, int no_name) 491 { ... 516 len = a->length; 517 p = a->data; 518 519 while (len > 0) { ... 522 for (;;) { 523 unsigned char c = *p++; 524 len--; 525 if ((len == 0) && (c & 0x80)) 526 goto err; ... 528 if (!BN_add_word(bl, c & 0x7f)) 529 goto err; ... 535 if (!bl && !(bl = BN_new())) 536 goto err; 537 if (!BN_set_word(bl, l)) 538 goto err; ... 542 if (!BN_lshift(bl, bl, 7)) 543 goto err; ... 546 } ... 553 if (!BN_sub_word(bl, 80)) 554 goto err; ... 561 if (buf_len > 1) { 562 *buf++ = i + '0'; 563 *buf = '\0'; 564 buf_len--; 565 } ... 569 if (use_bn) { 570 bndec = BN_bn2dec(bl); 571 if (!bndec) 572 goto err; 573 i = snprintf(buf, buf_len, ".%s", bndec); 574 if (i == -1) 575 goto err; 576 if (i >= buf_len) { 577 buf += buf_len; 578 buf_len = 0; 579 } else { 580 buf += i; 581 buf_len -= i; 582 } ... 584 } else { 585 i = snprintf(buf, buf_len, ".%lu", l); 586 if (i == -1) 587 goto err; 588 if (i >= buf_len) { 589 buf += buf_len; 590 buf_len = 0; 591 } else { 592 buf += i; 593 buf_len -= i; 594 } ... 597 } 598 } 599 600 out: ... 603 return ret; 604 605 err: 606 ret = 0; 607 buf[0] = '\0'; 608 goto out; 609 } First, in order to trigger this off-by-one buffer overflow, buf must be increased until it points to the first out-of-bounds character (i.e., until buf_len becomes zero): - on the one hand, this is impossible with the code blocks at lines 561-564, 579-581, and 591-593; - on the other hand, this is very easy with the code blocks at lines 576-578 and 588-590 (the destination buffer is usually quite small; for example, it is only 80 bytes long in X509_NAME_oneline()). Second, the code must branch to the err label: - the "goto err"s at lines 574-575 and 586-587 are unreachable, because snprintf() cannot possibly return -1 here; - the "goto err" at lines 525-526 is: . very easy to reach in LibreSSL <= 2.0.4; . impossible to reach in LibreSSL >= 2.0.5, because of the "MSB must be clear in the last octet" sanity check that was added to c2i_ASN1_OBJECT(): 286 /* 287 * Sanity check OID encoding: 288 * - need at least one content octet 289 * - MSB must be clear in the last octet 290 * - can't have leading 0x80 in subidentifiers, see: X.690 8.19.2 291 */ 292 if (len <= 0 || len > INT_MAX || pp == NULL || (p = *pp) == NULL || 293 p[len - 1] & 0x80) { 294 ASN1err(ASN1_F_C2I_ASN1_OBJECT, ASN1_R_INVALID_OBJECT_ENCODING); 295 return (NULL); 296 } - the remaining "goto err"s are triggered by error conditions in various BIGNUM functions: . either because of a very large BIGNUM (approximately 64 megabytes, which is impossible in the context of an SSL handshake, where X.509 certificates are limited to 100 kilobytes); . or because of an out-of-memory condition (which can be reached through the memory leak described above). This off-by-one buffer overflow allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. However, when triggered through X509_NAME_oneline() (and therefore d2i_X509()), this buffer overflow is stack-based and probably not exploitable on OpenBSD x86, where it appears to always smash the stack canary. ======================================================================== Acknowledgments ======================================================================== We would like to thank the LibreSSL team for their great work and their incredibly quick response, and Red Hat Product Security for promptly assigning CVE-IDs to these issues.

Read all the blogs and find educational resources for all ages at: http://ift.tt/1OKWxQV. Imagine you're flying 438 miles above the Earth taking pictures and collecting information of everything below. What do you see? Now imagine you've been doing this non-stop for over 40 years. Do you notice any change? A satellite series named Landsat has been doing exactly that. As a NASA scientist, I've been using Landsat-8 (the current satellite) data for a long time. Yet it's still amazing to create images of salt reflecting a brilliant white in a natural color scene, or seeing it turn a beautiful cyan using an infrared perspective. With the right tools I can discern patterns in the salt or make visible the phytoplankton dancing on the blue ocean. I've observed cities grow, forests recover from fire, islands form, and more. Our world is constantly changing. When sunlight hits the Earth's surface, it is absorbed, reflected, or scattered, resulting in different wavelengths of light leaving the Earth. Landsat-8 measures the visible and infrared wavelengths in 30-meter pixels and in order to "see" the image, we assign particular colors to different wavelengths. Recently, I was asked to create a Landsat mosaic of the entire Chesapeake Bay watershed. I've created Landsat mosaics using twelve Landsat scenes, but this mosaic would dwarf them all at well over forty! Creating even a small mosaic is difficult depending on the day or season the image was acquired, cloud cover, projections and satellite age (i.e., whether the data is from one of the newer or older Landsat satellite.) To minimizes these impacts, projects such as the Global Land Survey selects the best cloud-free images from Landsat satellites to generate a completely cloud-free scene every five years. So when asked how long this would take I responded, "a few months and I'll need a much better computer!" I began creating a composite of the Landsat scene, adjusting settings and matching colors to create the most natural and detailed image possible. I softened borders of the scene using the erase tool and began to see individual scenes flow into the next as boundaries disappeared. Due to the image size we tapped our friends over at the U.S. Geological Survey WELD project (Web-enabled Landsat Data) to help create a mosaic. But while the land images flowed seamlessly the water had many artifacts, discolorations and clouds that unnaturally ended at the edges of the water bodies. The last thing I wanted was the water to look unnatural — the Bay was the focus of the mosaic! And so began my arduous task of masking these imperfections (often zooming so far in that I had only a few pixels on my screen.) After this, I layered a true color USGS image of the Bay and Eastern Shore onto my mosaic and used another mask to crop out the water. Where they didn't align, I matched up the water layers as best I could with my WELD mosaic. I played around with color vibrancy and contrast using an Adobe product called "Lightroom" which boosted the greens, reds and contrast to reflect a color closer to leaves for the land. After a month of hard work, it was finally time to print and do a final check! This is the largest single image I've worked on to date, and while I always spot something I can improve, I couldn't be more proud. Knowing scientists and non-scientists will appreciate this image is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. -- Mike Taylor, Outreach Scientist (SSAI/NASA Goddard Space Flight Center)

How Did We Tile Greenland?

This gallery was created for Earth Science Week 2015 and beyond. It includes a quick start guide for educators and first-hand stories (blogs) for learners of all ages by NASA visualizers, scientists and educators. We hope that your understanding and use of NASA's visualizations will only increase as your appreciation grows for the beauty of the science they portray, and the communicative power they hold. Read all the blogs and find educational resources for all ages at: http://ift.tt/1OKWxQV. I am a visualizer at NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio. It is my job to combine a variety of data to generate scientific visualizations of changes affecting our planet. I regularly use Earth science datasets from a variety of sources. Some data is from NASA's Distributed Active Archive Centers (the public data centers that store NASA's satellite data.) Data also comes from NASA scientists or scientists at universities or other research institutions. But whether I'm visualizing sea ice in the Arctic and Antarctic, glacier retreat, or seasonal snow cover and fires, the steps needed to handle the data are for all of these are similar. Data comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes. For example, a dataset for the same geographic region may be in different geographic projections. Or the same data may have been collected and processed at different resolutions. I put these datasets together to show them in layers. I need to handle the data in such a way that they correctly overlay one on to another. For example, I would not want our topography data showing the terrain around a mountain lake to be shifted or misregistered from the image data showing the blue region covered by the water. That would obviously be wrong! We use software that follows the exact mathematical rules defined for each type of projection. We can then align the geographic features of multiple datasets, transforming all of the datasets so that they accurate match one another. I'm sure many of you are familiar with the difference in the quality of pictures taken by cell phone cameras. The higher number of megapixels* (MP) captured by the camera usually means that the camera takes higher quality pictures. The same is true with data collected by satellite. Satellites take their "pictures" from directly overhead looking down as they orbit the Earth. But can you take a picture of a friend standing on a mountain hundreds of kilometers away? Of course not! Satellites gather many different kinds of data as they circle our planet from hundreds of kilometers above the surface. But how much surface detail can they obtain from such a distance as this? Satellite instruments may not cover a small area (like your back yard) in as much detail as your camera phone, but they are vastly improving. For many satellite instruments, a pixel value represents every 6, 10 or 12 kilometers, but for higher-resolution data a pixel value could represent as little as 15, 20 or 30 meters across. When we examine an area as large as Greenland, that covers more than 2 million square kilometers, this amount of data is enormous! To map Greenland, we used the topography, ice mask, and ocean mask datasets from the Greenland Ice Mapping Project. Each one of these were broken into 36 tiles that were 16,620 by 30,000 pixels in resolution or 498.6 MP per tile. That turns out to be 17,949.6 MP per dataset or 17.9 gigapixels (GP.)** We used the ocean and ice datasets to color RadarSat data from the Canadian Space Agency. Each of these were broken down into 25 tiles each about 421.8 GP. Every year generates a whopping 10,545 MP or 10.5 GP. But we had 6 years plus a mosaic dataset, which came out to 73.8 GP! Combining this data tile by tile into a single visualization would take a very, very long time for one person (or even a team!) to correct, so we developed a method that automated this process. We created a computer program that automatically extracts the coordinate and projection information from the geotiff images. For each image tile, this routine then passes the correct parameters to a projection routine that accurately positions the related texture tile. Using this method, our team successfully created a high-resolution Greenland visualization and accurately mapped 87 GP of data. This visualization was created for SIGGRAPH 2015.For more information, see: http://ift.tt/1VVqGMq -- Cindy Starr, Scientific Visualizer at Global Science & Technology / NASA GSFC (SVS) * 1 megapixel (MP) = 1 million pixels ** 1 gigapixel (GP) = 1 billion pixels

Nebraska Water Usage

Water managers in 15 states across the U.S. currently use Metric technology to track agricultural water use. Metric measures evapotranspiration (ET)--the amount of water evaporating from the soil and transpiring from a plant's leaves. The thermal band data on Landsat satellites allows water specialists to measure ET. This process cools the plant down so irrigated farm fields appear cooler (bluer) in Landsat satellite images. The latest evolution of METRIC technology--an application called EEFLUX, will allow anyone in the world to produce field-scale maps of water consumption, including on mobile devices. Metric was developed in the early 2000s and to date EEFLUX has been introduced to the California Department of Water Resources, the California Water Control Board, and the World Bank.

Narrative Science Systems: A Review. (arXiv:1510.04420v1 [cs.AI])

Automatic narration of events and entities is the need of the hour, especially when live reporting is critical and volume of information to be narrated is huge. This paper discusses the challenges in this context, along with the algorithms used to build such systems. From a systematic study, we can infer that most of the work done in this area is related to statistical data. It was also found that subjective evaluation or contribution of experts is also limited for narration context.

Layer-Specific Adaptive Learning Rates for Deep Networks. (arXiv:1510.04609v1 [cs.CV])

The increasing complexity of deep learning architectures is resulting in training time requiring weeks or even months. This slow training is due in part to vanishing gradients, in which the gradients used by back-propagation are extremely large for weights connecting deep layers (layers near the output layer), and extremely small for shallow layers (near the input layer); this results in slow learning in the shallow layers. Additionally, it has also been shown that in highly non-convex problems, such as deep neural networks, there is a proliferation of high-error low curvature saddle points, which slows down learning dramatically. In this paper, we attempt to overcome the two above problems by proposing an optimization method for training deep neural networks which uses learning rates which are both specific to each layer in the network and adaptive to the curvature of the function, increasing the learning rate at low curvature points. This enables us to speed up learning in the shallow layers of the network and quickly escape high-error low curvature saddle points. We test our method on standard image classification datasets such as MNIST, CIFAR10 and ImageNet, and demonstrate that our method increases accuracy as well as reduces the required training time over standard algorithms.

Language Models for Image Captioning: The Quirks and What Works. (arXiv:1505.01809v3 [cs.CL] UPDATED)

Two recent approaches have achieved state-of-the-art results in image captioning. The first uses a pipelined process where a set of candidate words is generated by a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on images, and then a maximum entropy (ME) language model is used to arrange these words into a coherent sentence. The second uses the penultimate activation layer of the CNN as input to a recurrent neural network (RNN) that then generates the caption sequence. In this paper, we compare the merits of these different language modeling approaches for the first time by using the same state-of-the-art CNN as input. We examine issues in the different approaches, including linguistic irregularities, caption repetition, and data set overlap. By combining key aspects of the ME and RNN methods, we achieve a new record performance over previously published results on the benchmark COCO dataset. However, the gains we see in BLEU do not translate to human judgments.

Distributed Deep Q-Learning. (arXiv:1508.04186v2 [cs.LG] UPDATED)

We propose a distributed deep learning model to successfully learn control policies directly from high-dimensional sensory input using reinforcement learning. The model is based on the deep Q-network, a convolutional neural network trained with a variant of Q-learning. Its input is raw pixels and its output is a value function estimating future rewards from taking an action given a system state. To distribute the deep Q-network training, we adapt the DistBelief software framework to the context of efficiently training reinforcement learning agents. As a result, the method is completely asynchronous and scales well with the number of machines. We demonstrate that the deep Q-network agent, receiving only the pixels and the game score as inputs, was able to achieve reasonable success on a simple game with minimal parameter tuning.

Mining Combined Causes in Large Data Sets. (arXiv:1508.07092v2 [cs.AI] UPDATED)

In recent years, many methods have been developed for detecting causal relationships in observational data. Some of them have the potential to tackle large data sets. However, these methods fail to discover a combined cause, i.e. a multi-factor cause consisting of two or more component variables which individually are not causes. A straightforward approach to uncovering a combined cause is to include both individual and combined variables in the causal discovery using existing methods, but this scheme is computationally infeasible due to the huge number of combined variables. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to address this practical causal discovery problem, i.e. mining combined causes in large data sets. The experiments with both synthetic and real world data sets show that the proposed method can obtain high-quality causal discoveries with a high computational efficiency.

[FD] PayPal Inc Bug Bounty #117 - Session Fixation Vulnerability

Document Title: =============== PayPal Inc Bug Bounty #117 - Session Fixation Vulnerability References (Source): ==================== http://ift.tt/1NtvLMV EIBBP-31983 (P2) Video: http://ift.tt/1Op9XlJ Vulnerability Magazine: http://ift.tt/1Nu3XIf Release Date: ============= 2015-10-09 Vulnerability Laboratory ID (VL-ID): ==================================== 1509 Common Vulnerability Scoring System: ==================================== 4.3 Product & Service Introduction: =============================== PayPal is a global e-commerce business allowing payments and money transfers to be made through the Internet. Online money transfers serve as electronic alternatives to paying with traditional paper methods, such as checks and money orders. Originally, a PayPal account could be funded with an electronic debit from a bank account or by a credit card at the payer s choice. But some time in 2010 or early 2011, PayPal began to require a verified bank account after the account holder exceeded a predetermined spending limit. After that point, PayPal will attempt to take funds for a purchase from funding sources according to a specified funding hierarchy. If you set one of the funding sources as Primary, it will default to that, within that level of the hierarchy (for example, if your credit card ending in 4567 is set as the Primary over 1234, it will still attempt to pay money out of your PayPal balance, before it attempts to charge your credit card). The funding hierarchy is a balance in the PayPal account; a PayPal credit account, PayPal Extras, PayPal SmartConnect, PayPal Extras Master Card or Bill Me Later (if selected as primary funding source) (It can bypass the Balance); a verified bank account; other funding sources, such as non-PayPal credit cards. The recipient of a PayPal transfer can either request a check from PayPal, establish their own PayPal deposit account or request a transfer to their bank account. PayPal is an acquirer, performing payment processing for online vendors, auction sites, and other commercial users, for which it charges a fee. It may also charge a fee for receiving money, proportional to the amount received. The fees depend on the currency used, the payment option used, the country of the sender, the country of the recipient, the amount sent and the recipient s account type. In addition, eBay purchases made by credit card through PayPal may incur extra fees if the buyer and seller use different currencies.

The vulnerability allows remote attackers to manipulate user session information to takeover the data for malicious purpose. Data enters a web application through an untrusted source, most frequently an HTTP request. The data is included in an HTTP response header sent to a web user without being validated for malicious characters. HTTP response splitting is a means to an end, not an end in itself. At its root, the attack is straightforward: an attacker passes malicious data to a vulnerable application, and the application includes the data in an HTTP response header. To mount a successful exploit, the application must allow input that contains CR (carriage return, also given by %0d or /r) characters into the header AND the underlying platform must be vulnerable to the injection of such characters. These characters not only give attackers control of the remaining headers and body of the response the application intends to send, but also allow them to create additional responses entirely under their control. On the french paypal webpage for instance there is a vulnerability where an attacker can copy and overwrite a victims session ID and use the false ID to perform actions like session manipulation and cookie compromise. The vulnerability can be exploited by a successful manipulated GET method request through the France paypal online service web-application. The security risk of the unencrypted session fixation issue is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 4.3. Exploitation of the vulnerability requires no privilege web-application user account with low user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in manipulation of user session information and information disclosure.

ISS Daily Summary Report – 10/14/15

Plant Gravity Sensing 2 (PGS2): Today Lindgren retrieved culture dishes from a Minus Eighty Degree Celsius Laboratory Freezer for ISS (MELFI) and treated the plants growing in them with a chemical reagent that induces a bioluminescence response that is dependent on the concentration of calcium ions in the plants.  The Plant calcium concentrations have been shown to change in response to the direction of gravity:  the plants emit photons when the culture dishes they are growing in are turned upside down so that the direction of gravity is changed relative to the plants.  The reagent will be removed tomorrow with an absorbent and on Thursday the culture dishes will be turned upside down and returned to a Photon Counting Unit (PCU) so that photon measurements can be taken. The PGS2 investigation supports the study of cellular formation of the gravity sensors and the molecular mechanism for gravity sensing in plants grown in microgravity conditions.   Ocular Health:  Lindgren and Yui initiated their Flight Day 90 Ocular Health testing by performing vision and tonometry tests and taking blood pressure measurements.  The Ocular Health protocol calls for a systematic gathering of physiological data to characterize the risk of microgravity-induced visual impairment/intracranial pressure in ISS crewmembers. Researchers believe that the measurement of visual, vascular and central nervous system changes over the course of this experiment and during the subsequent post-flight recovery will assist in the development of countermeasures, clinical monitoring strategies, and clinical practice guidelines.   SOLAR: Measurements continue to be taken for European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) SOLAR investigation during the current sun visibility window which began last Friday, October 9th.  The goal of the SOLAR instruments is to measure solar spectral irradiance and variability.   Habitability:  Today Kelly documented his recent observations related to human factors and habitability for the Habitability investigation.  Habitability assesses the relationship between crew members and their environment in order to better prepare for future long-duration spaceflights to destinations, such as near earth asteroids and Mars. Observations recorded during 6 month and 1 year missions can help spacecraft designers determine how much habitable volume is required, and whether a mission’s duration impacts how much space crew members need.   ISS Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) Umbilical (IEU) Checkout:  As a follow up to yesterday’s IEU replacement, Yui succesfully performed an IEU activation and checkout.  On September 23, the crew found a damaged seal on the coolant loop outlet port in the connector that connects the IEU to the EMU.  Both IEUs were due to be changed out early next year due to life time expiration.  The team elected to replace both expiring IEUs to support upcoming EMU operations.   Node 1 Nadir Berthing Port Cabling:  Last Friday, the crew was unable to mate two pre-routed power cables due to interference resulting from connector backshell clocking.  Today, the crew succesfully re-clocked the 90° connectors and completed the installation of the wire harnesses to the Node 1 Forward Overhead and Lab Aft Overhead Bulkheads.  These cables will provide power to Node 1 Nadir Berthing Port and Galley Rack.  The crew also removed the airlock y-jumper that was installed as an interim measure last Friday.   Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Preparation:  Kelly has packed International Docking Adapter (IDA) Cables into an EVA cable bag.  The cables will be installed on Pressurized Mating Adapter (PMA)-3 during the ISS Upgrades EVA currently scheduled for October 28th.  The ISS Program plans to establish two docking ports on the US On-orbit Segment compatible with the International Docking System Standard (IDSS).  In the future, the docking adapters will be installed onto the existing PMA-2 and PMA3 interfaces.  Each adapter will permanently convert a passive Androgynous Peripheral Attachment System (APAS) docking interface into a passive IDSS interface.   Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM) Troubleshooting:  Today, Robotics Controllers performed data collection on the SPDM Arm 2 Shoulder Yaw Joint utilizing a diagnostics software patch.  The troubleshooting was conducted as a result of an anomaly that occurred on the joint last Thursday, 08 October. The data will now be analyzed by ground teams.   Today’s Planned Activities All activities were completed unless otherwise noted.

A Gegenschein Lunar Eclipse

Is there anything interesting to see in the direction opposite the Sun? One night last month, there were quite a few things. First, the red-glowing orb on the lower right of the featured image is the full moon, darkened and reddened because it has entered Earth's shadow. Beyond Earth's cone of darkness are backscattering dust particles orbiting the Sun that standout with a diffuse glow called the gegenschein, visible as a faint band rising from the central horizon and passing behind the Moon. A nearly horizontal stripe of green airglow is also discernable just above the horizon, partly blocked by blowing orange sand. Visible in the distant sky as the blue dot near the top of the image is the star Sirius, while the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy arches up on the image left and down again on the right. The fuzzy light patches just left of center are the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. Red emission nebulas too numerous to mention are scattered about the sky, but are labelled in a companion annotated image. In the image foreground is the desolate Deadvlei region of the Namib-Naukluft National Park in Namibia, featuring the astrophotographer himself surveying a land and sky so amazing that he described it as one of the top experiences of his life. via NASA http://ift.tt/1jod2FX

El Nino: Disrupting the Marine Food Web

This gallery was created for Earth Science Week 2015 and beyond. It includes a quick start guide for educators and first-hand stories (blogs) for learners of all ages by NASA visualizers, scientists and educators. We hope that your understanding and use of NASA's visualizations will only increase as your appreciation grows for the beauty of the science they portray, and the communicative power they hold. Read all the blogs and find educational resources for all ages at: http://ift.tt/1OKWxQV. In case you haven't heard, El Nino is starting to make headlines this year. Often nicknamed "the bad boy of weather," who is this guy? A long time ago, fishermen off the west coast of South America — one of the world's most productive fisheries — noticed that some years the fish disappeared. This was especially noticeable around Christmas time — giving it the name El Nino, which means Christ child in Spanish. Today we know why El Nino happens — but knowing when it will happen is still a challenge. Normally, winds blow from east to west along the equator, pushing surface water westward. As the water moves away from the east, nutrient-rich deeper ocean water rises to fill the void (called upwelling.) When nutrients rise into sunlight, they cause blooms of tiny plants called phytoplankton. These plants feed the entire marine food web from small fish such as sardines to bigger fish, sea birds, and marine mammals. When an El Nino develops, the normal east-to-west winds die and warm surface water from the west Pacific moves eastward. This stops the upwelling in the east. Without the supply of deeper, nutrient-rich water, less phytoplankton bloom and the fisheries collapse. From satellites in space we see how these changes impact the ocean's color. Normally, the ocean looks more green along the equator (image below, left.) During El Nino, the ocean looks more blue and less green because there is less plant life (images below, right.) While this color change is subtle to our eyes, it means life or death for the species that depend upon plankton for food. Some animals starve (e.g. sea lions, marine iguanas, Galapagos penguins) while others move away to look for food elsewhere. In addition to disrupting the marine food web and reducing the fish catch in the Pacific, El Nino is linked to unusual weather around the world: more typhoons in the Pacific, fewer hurricanes in the Atlantic, more rain in California, less rain in Southeast Asia and Australia, and warmer weather in South America. The monstrous 1997/98 El Nino led to extreme events with catastrophic consequences. There were floods and landslides in some places and extreme drought in others. This is how El Nino got his reputation as a "bad boy." We still can't predict El Nino more than a few months in advance and won't know its full strength until it peaks around December, but this year's El Nino is shaping up to be a bully. As a scientist, I've been studying the interaction of physical oceanography and biology over the past 50 years. I also create a series of short visualizations called ClimateBits that play on Science On a Sphere displays at museums and science centers. Here's one I made about El Nino using chlorophyll images (from the MODIS sensor onboard the Aqua satellite) and sea-surface temperatures (from NOAA AVHRR and NASA AMSR-E satellites and oceanic buoy measurements.) To give background on motion in the ocean that is key to this story, I start the piece with one of my favorite visualizations by the NASA Scientific Visualization Studio showing output from an ocean circulation model color coded with sea surface temperatures.

Structured Memory for Neural Turing Machines. (arXiv:1510.03931v1 [cs.AI])

Neural Turing Machines (NTM) contain memory component that simulates "working memory" in the brain to store and retrieve information to ease simple algorithms learning. So far, only linearly organized memory is proposed, and during experiments, we observed that the model does not always converge, and overfits easily when handling certain tasks. We think memory component is key to some faulty behaviors of NTM, and better organization of memory component could help fight those problems. In this paper, we propose several different structures of memory for NTM, and we proved in experiments that two of our proposed structured-memory NTMs could lead to better convergence, in term of speed and prediction accuracy on copy task and associative recall task as in (Graves et al. 2014).
