Global Socket is a tool for moving data from here to there, securely, fast, and through NAT and firewalls. It uses the Global Socket Relay Network to connect TCP pipes, has end-to-end encryption (using OpenSSL's SRP / RFC-5054), AES-256 and key exchange using 4096-bit Prime, requires no PKI, has Perfect Forward Secrecy, and TOR support.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6663-3 - USN-6663-1 provided a security update for OpenSSL. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. As a security improvement, OpenSSL will now return deterministic random bytes instead of an error when detecting wrong padding in PKCS#1 v1.5 RSA to prevent its use in possible Bleichenbacher timing attacks.

A WIRED investigation found thousands of Eventbrite posts selling escort services and drugs like Xanax and oxycodone—some of which the company’s algorithm recommended alongside addiction recovery events.

### Summary Servers based on aiosmtpd accept extra unencrypted commands after STARTTLS, treating them as if they came from inside the encrypted connection. This could be exploited by a MitM attack. ### References * [NO STARTTLS: Similar vulnerabilities discovered by previous researchers.](https://nostarttls.secvuln.info/)

random_compat versions prior to 2.0 are affected by a security vulnerability related to the insecure usage of Cryptographically Secure Pseudo-Random Number Generators (CSPRNG). The affected versions use openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(), which may result in insufficient entropy and compromise the security of generated random numbers.

In order to verify Signatures on Logoutrequests and LogoutResponses we use the verifySignature of the class XMLSecurityKey from the xmlseclibs library. That method end up calling openssl_verify() depending on the signature algorithm used. The openssl_verify() function returns 1 when the signature was successfully verified, 0 if it failed to verify with the given key, and -1 in case an error occurs. PHP allows translating numerical values to boolean implicitly, with the following correspondences: - 0 equals false. - Non-zero equals true. This means that an implicit conversion to boolean of the values returned by openssl_verify() will convert an error state, signaled by the value -1, to a successful verification of the signature (represented by the boolean true). The LogoutRequest/LogoutResponse signature validator was performing an implicit conversion to boolean of the values returned by the verify() method, which subsequently will return the same output as openssl_verify() under mos...
