Our firm~{The firm}~SonicWall~Sonic}~The company~{The firm}~SonicWall~Sonic}., a leading secure network infrastructure company, has announced the development of a new application that would provide protection against SSL Certificate Null Byte Poisoning vulnerability. Users of the SonicWall Internet security’s Unified Threat Management Firewall technology, which protects against viruses, Trojans, worms and other threats and vulnerabilities, automatically receive updated signatures designed to repel security threats.
Various browser and non-browser based SSL implementations will be vulnerable for hijacking as your computer is incapable of defending itself from attacks. Once an attacker successfully obtains a specially crafted null byte stuffed certificate designed to imitate the origin content server, privacy of the data can be compromised since there will be no distinguishable notification to the user that the secure connection has been intercepted by an unknown 3rd party.
Your computer is also vulnerable to attacks from other viruses, including trohans and malwares as the attacker can exploit your computer’s weakness aside from compromised SSL session.
The BlackHat security first publicized the problem during the July 29-30, 2009 security conference held in Las Vegas. On July 31, 2009, users of SonicWALL internet security’s Unified Threat Management technology received updated signatures designed to protect against this threat.
