ManiMed: Hamilton Medical AG – HAMILTON-T1 Ventilator Vulnerabilities

Manipulating Medical Devices

The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) aims to sensitize manufacturers and the public regarding security risks of networked medical devices in Germany. In response to the often fatal security reports and press releases of networked medical devices, the BSI initiated the project Manipulation of Medical Devices (ManiMed) in 2019. In this project, a security analysis of selected products is carried out through security assessments followed by Coordinated Vulnerability Diclosure (CVD) processes. The project report was published on December 31, 2020, and can be accessed on the BSI website [1].

ERNW Whitepaper 71 – Analysis of Anti-Virus Software Quarantine Files

I am glad to announce the release of the ERNW whitepaper 71 containing information about quarantine file formats of different AV software vendors. It is available here.

Anti-Virus Software

I took quarantine files from real-life incidents and created some in a lab environment. Afterwards I tried to identify metadata, like timestamps, path names, malware names, and the actual malicious file in the quarantine files. One goal was to use this information to support our incident analyses: Using the results, we can now easily create timelines showing information about quarantined files, extract the detected malware, and sometimes even find information about processes that created the malicious files.

Having Fun with Google MDM Solution

It’s Friday, you managed to escape for a couple of hours from a busy working day to see a doctor. Now you have to wait in a boring waiting room at the clinic until it’s your turn to see her majesty. What would you like to do in this time? Answer pending business emails, get lost in social media, or choose a new theme to make your iPhone look awesome?  What about: all of the above? It’s nice to have everything on your iPhone: MDM enrollment to access business data, in addition to jailbreak for device freedom. However, MDM solutions ban jailbroken devices, because they are not secure enough to handle sensitive business data. And so, cat and mouse games of jailbreak detection/bypass between MDM solutions and some users develop.

In this blogpost, I highlight how this cat and mouse game with Google’s MDM solution “Google Endpoint Management” is currently going. First, I explain how to bypass jailbreak detection of Google’s MDM solution. Then I show how to manipulate MDM enforced policies on your MDM-enrolled jailbroken device. Since these actions have negative impacts on your device’s security, we’ll also discuss how attackers can exploit this insecure setup to steal business data.

ERNW White Paper 70 – HL7 FHIR: Preserving Distributed Resource Integrity

With this blog post I am pleased to announce the publication of a new ERNW White Paper about the HL7 FHIR communication standard.

Introduction

Digital networking is already widespread in many areas of life. More and more medical devices are also being networked in the healthcare industry. This growth makes the development and use of new medical communication standards necessary since existing solutions can only meet the changing requirements with great effort. The HL7 FHIR standard is an example of such a medical communication standard. FHIR is said to have increased the interoperability between different medical contexts,e.g., administration, billing, and clinical care, to enable data exchange of various systems. The FHIR standard addresses the security risks associated with strongly networked communication from a large number of systems across the trust and organizational boundaries only indirectly because FHIR does not define mandatory security controls or requirements.

Root Cause Analysis of a Heap-Based Buffer Overflow in GNU Readline

In the last blog post, we discussed how fuzzers determine the uniqueness of a crash. In this blog post, we discuss how we can manually triage a crash and determine the root cause. As an example, we use a heap-based buffer overflow I found in GNU readline 8.1 rc2, which has been fixed in the newest release. We use GDB and rr for time-travel debugging to determine the root cause of the bug.
