Microsoft Windows Media arbitrary code execution-CVE-2016-0101

Microsoft Windows operating system provides Windows Media for playing audio, video and viewing images. Remote attacker can entice user to open malicious media file which can lead to remote code execution with security context of user.

Windows Media uses MPEG2 Transport Stream file format to store media and protocol data. Vulnerable dynamic library is MFDS because of boundary error in it. The function MPEG2_PMT_SECTION::Parse() is used to parse descriptors array in Program Map Table (PMT) in packets of MPEG2-TS file. The function calculates the number of descriptor elements according to the Elementary Info Length field, but function does not validate the Elementary Info Length field properly. Attacker can provide large value to this field which may lead to execution of arbitrary code in user context.

Unsuccessful attempts may lead to denial of service.

This vulnerability affects the following products:

Microsoft Windows 7
Microsoft Windows 8.1
Microsoft Windows RT 8.1
Microsoft Windows 10
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
Microsoft Windows Server 2012
Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R

So please update your security device to prevent from this.

Fortigate guide for Begineer - 6

I would like to explaine how to troubleshoot the Fortigate Unit configured by Transparent Mode in step by step this time. Let's assume, you have one Fortigate Unit that configured as Transparent Mode. But devices from Internal/Private Network unable to access Internet/Public Network through your Fortigate Unit. OK. Let's troubleshoot with following steps, 1) Check the physical network connections between the network and the FortiGate unit, and between the FortiGate unit and the Internet. 2) Check the router and ISP-supplied equipment to make sure it is operating correctly. 3) Verify that you can connect to the internal interface by connecting to the management IP address of the FortiGate unit from the Internal network. From the internal network, attempt to ping the management IP address. If you cannot connect to the internal interface, verify the IP configuration of the PC and make sure the cables are connected and all switches and other devices on the network are powered on a

Link Aggregating with Synology NAS and Cisco Switch

I’d like to share how to setup Link Aggregating between Synology NAS and Cisco Switch. I’ve got one Synology NAS with 4 Network Ports and I’m going to use 2 of them. Both Network Port to be as one Logical Link, Fault Tolerance and Load Balancing. To do that, I need to configure Link Aggregating on Synology NAS and EtherChannel with LACP on Cisco Switch. Below is brief steps to do to meet with my requirements. - Get connected Synology NAS and Cisco Switch as shown in picture. - Bonding two Network Ports of Synology NAS and assign IP Address - Configure EtherChannel with LACP in Cisco Switch and add two physical ports as Member. OK. Let’s begin from Synology NAS. - Login to the Synology and go to Control Panel>Network>Create>Create Bond - Select IEEE 802.3ad to get Fault Tolerance and Load Balancing Featureyou’re your switch not support 802.3ad you can only select Fault Tolerance only feature). After that click “Next”. - Choose the network port f
