In another case, it said, four people were arrested for distributing material online and 400 computers were seized.Police also have broken up crime rings that used the Internet to organize prostitution, Xinhua said.The latest campaign also will target illegal online lotteries and contraband trade, fraud and "content that spreads rumors and is of a slanderous nature," Zhang said at a news conference.In China's biggest online porn case to date, Web site operator Chen Hui was sentenced in November to life in prison. The government said his Web site had more than 9 million pornographic images and more than 600,000 registered users.China has the world's second-biggest population of Internet users after the United States, with 137 million people online.The communist government encourages Internet use for education and business but tries to block access to material considered obscene or subversive."The inflow of pornographic materials from abroad and lax domestic control are to blame for the existing problems in China's cyberspace," Zhang said.According to Xinhua, the Beijing Reformatory for Juvenile Delinquents said 33.5 percent of its detainees were influenced by violent online games or erotic Web sites when they committed crimes such as robbery and rape.

U.S. Agencies Get 'C-' For Computer Security

According to an annual report card required by federal legislation, the majority of twenty-four U.S. government agencies continued to score sub-par grades in computer security for 2006.While the overall grade of the agencies averaged to a 'C-' — a slight improvement over the 'D+' received in 2005 — the individual grades ranged across the spectrum. Some of the U.S. government's largest agencies — including the Departments of Commerce, Defense, Education, State, and Treasury — scored failing grades.Other agencies dramatically improved their grades from last year. The Department of Health and Human Services improved last year's 'F' to a 'B' in 2006, while the Department of Housing and Urban Development jumped from a 'D+' to an 'A+', according to the score card .

The grades are based on numerical scores ranking the agencies' compliance with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) of 2002, which requires that the agencies secure their information systems according to guidelines developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and file annual reports about their compliance.

"FISMA is to some extent a paper exercise," said Jeremy Nazarian, vice president of marketing at network security firm Lumeta. "And, although it's not a complete representation of how an agency is doing, the score is ultimately a decent measure of how well aligned an organization is with security policies as defined by NIST."The FISMA grades are based on the security reviews performed by the agencies, including progress in correcting previously identified weaknesses and the results of system hardening. Each agency is required to submit a report on their findings by October to the Office of Management and Budget.

Oracle 11i: Encrypted Password String Disclosure

Oracle 11i: Encrypted Password String Disclosure
Integrigy has release an advisory regarding an undisclose security vulnerability in Oracle Applications 11i that may allow an unauthenticated, internal attacker to obtain Oracle Applications' user account encrypted password strings, which in turn can be decrypted using previously published information. An attacker can potentially obtain either any user's password or the Oracle Applications' main database account password (APPS). The attacker must have direct SQL*Net access to the database (e.g., SQL*Plus) and to exploit the vulnerability neither of the Oracle Applications security features "Managed SQL*Net Access" and "Server Security" can be enabled.In a majority of Oracle Applications implementations, neither "Managed SQL*Net Access" nor "Server Security" are enabled. "Managed SQL*Net Access" is enabled by default beginning with 11.5.10, although, it is commonly disabled due to the complexity of managing permitted hosts and the limitations in only allowing a small number of hosts direct access to the database. "Sever Security" is not enabled by default in any version of Oracle Applications and seldom is enabled as the purpose and security benefits of this feature are poorly understood. All Oracle Applications implementations should enable at least "Server Security" and preferably also enable "Managed SQL*Net Access". The underlying issue is that Oracle Applications passwords can be easily decrypted using methods previously published. There are a number of ways an attacker (most likely an insider) may obtain encrypted password strings, including through ad-hoc query access, from cloned instances like development, or through SQL injection vulnerabilities in the application or standard database packages. The advisory relates to an additional method of obtaining encrypted passwords strings through exploitation of a specific undisclosed security vulnerability.For more information see the Integrigy Security Advisory Oracle Applications 11i Encrypted Password Disclosure
