Shellshock and other assorted computer security stuff

bhtooefr:
That is hilariously sensationalized.

There are vulnerabilities in many USB microcontrollers that can allow reflashing the firmware with untrusted firmware. That's been known for ages.

Sure, it'll take forever to get the bad devices out of circulation, but not all devices use Phison USB controllers, and not all devices even have reflashable firmware.

ankhtahr:
hmm. Have you by chance disabled SSLv3 for this server now? (Or did Cloudflare disable it?) Tapatalk on my mobile can't connect to the forums anymore, and SSLv3 support is disabled. Whoever it was, good decision. POODLE is bad.

pwhodges:
I've not yet fully checked out what's going on, but you could have the answer.

Yesterday the forums were moved to a permanent https connection, using a new certificate (no longer self-signed).  But this morning, I find that I can no longer connect using https using Tapatalk/Android, nor using Opera (Chroms)/Windows XP; whereas Tapatalk/iPhone is OK, as is Opera/Windows 8.1.

The comic works using http but not https on the Windows XP machine, but the forums are no longer available using http.

Masterpiece:
Ah. Explains why my IE is asking for me to allow unsafe content.

bhtooefr:
Windows XP shouldn't be used on the public internet anyway, so...

I believe there's options to disable SSLv3 support in newer versions of IE, as well, so it doesn't even try.
