Sarbanes-Oxley and realtime's identity management solution

Realtime's Risk Management Tool, APM, has been installed over 150 times to SAP customers and our bioLock is well established in the SAP world as the first SAP certified biometric identity management solution. These were enough reasons for SAP to approach realtime to include us in an educational movie about Sarbanes-Oxley. We facilitated an interview with Professor Paul Foote, (a Harvard educated Accounting Professor in California and Sarbanes-Oxley expert), that has built a biometric research center around the bioLock technology. SAP decided to make an additional movie about the bioLock technology to point out the powerful capabilities of biometrics, when it comes to complying with mandatory regulations. Both movies were shown on SAP TV worldwide.

Firefox Command Line URL Shell Command Injection

Peter Zelezny has discovered a vulnerability in Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused due to the shell script used to launch Firefox parsing shell commands that are enclosed within backticks in the URL provided via the command line. This can e.g. be exploited to execute arbitrary shell commands by tricking a user into following a malicious link in an external application which uses Firefox as the default browser (e.g. the mail client Evolution on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4).

3Com to pay for threat tips

3Com this week is expected to launch a program that offers cash to members of the security community in return for information on potentially damaging Internet-based security threats. Its Zero Day Initiative is an attempt to prompt the disclosure of security vulnerabilities quicker by giving independent security researchers incentive for pointing out holes in software and hardware products that could lead to network attacks. Some observers call the program a positive step toward making networks safer, while others question how such a payoff system would work, or whether third-party vendors -- including 3Com competitors -- would react negatively to a system under which 3Com gives money to individuals for information about product vulnerability before the affected vendors know about them.
