Wayne Coyne Makes a Poster With His Own Blood
By Ryan Dombal on October 13, 2010 at 11:40 a.m. EDT
Anyone who's seen the Flaming Lips live knows Wayne Coyne has an obsession with fake blood. But now he's taking things one step further, making a Lips poster with his own (real) blood. Yes, blood that was extracted from his body with a needle.
Lucky for all of us, there's a making-of video chronicling the whole process, which the Flaming Lips posted on their Twitter. "We thought it would be silly to use some chicken blood," he says, and who are we to argue. Watch it below:
Flowers of Hell Leader Mistaken for a Spy
By Ryan Dombal on October 12, 2010 at 4:40 p.m. EDT
Greg Jarvis, leader of space-rock collective Flowers of Hell, recently found himself at the mercy of the rebel group Organisasi Papua Merdeka after they mistook him for a British spy while he was vacationing in Papua New Guinea, as NME reports.
The Shins: The Ballet
By Ryan Dombal on October 8, 2010 at 2:40 p.m. EDT
Oh, Inverted World is the name of the Shins' debut album from 2001. And now it's also the name of a ballet by San Francisco's Smuin Ballet. The program is set to Shins music, features choreography by Trey McIntyre, and runs through February 27.
Watch a trailer for the Oh, Inverted World ballet below... looks intense:
Video: Die Antwoord: "Evil Boy" (NSFW)
By Larry Fitzmaurice on October 6, 2010 at 12:25 p.m. EDT
At this point, we know that South African rave-rap pranksters Die Antwoord are out of their fucking gourds. So the fact that the video for "Evil Boy", the Diplo collaboration from Die Antwoord's forthcoming Cherrytree/Interscope debut $0$, is typically bonkers should be no surprise. Still, these guys are really good at coming up with crazy shit to put in a video: nipple-less breasts, angry-looking furry monsters, a bunch of guys with machetes, and plenty-- plenty-- of penis-shaped objects that pretty much look just like penises. The video's NSFW, obviously, unless you work in a really weird place.
Watch the clip below, or over at Pitchfork.tv.
Bloc Party/Ash Guitarist Bitten by a Lion

Have you ever had that nightmare where a South African lion cub bites you and then you go to the hospital and the place is shut down because of mysterious deaths due to an unidentified virus and then you get in a car crash? It's pretty rough.
Then again, it's not as rough as all that shit actually happening to you in real life, as it did to Bloc Party/Ash guitarist Russell Lissack during a South African tour with Ash recently. The news was reported by Spinner and confirmed by Ash's publicist. Lissack is seemingly OK now, but he may not want to leave the house for a few days months.
MGMT Respond to Piss Attack Allegations

Earlier today, we pointed out some British press reports that MGMT drummer Will Berman had left the stage in Manchester, England Sunday night after being attacked by a piss-throwing audience member. We also reported that the band had said in an interview that Columbia Records, their label, was planning to grant them less freedom in recording their follow-up to Congratulations. But according to an email from MGMT co-leader Andrew VanWyngarden, neither report is true.
MGMT Reportedly Attacked With Piss
By Tom Breihan on September 28, 2010 at 12:35 p.m. EDT
UPDATE: MGMT have responded to these reports.
According to reports, someone in Manchester, England really hated MGMT's set at the Manchester Apollo on Sunday night. Ace Showbiz reports (via Metro) that the band's drummer, Will Berman, left the stage after a fan threw a "glass full of urine" onstage, hitting Berman in the chest.
According to Ace Showbiz, Berman refused to come back onstage after band leaders Andrew VanWyngarden and Benjamin Goldwasser "pleaded" for his return. The attack allegedly happened during "The Handshake", one of the band's last songs of the night, and VanWyngarden and Goldwasser had to ask the crowd what had happened when they noticed Berman's absence. They finished the set without percussion.
Reports of the incident seem kind of sketchy, though. Were you at the show? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have details.
Apples in Stereo Frontman Invents Mind-Controlled Theremin
By Tom Breihan on September 3, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. EDT
If anyone was going to invent a Theremin that you could control with your mind, it'd have to be someone from the Elephant 6 collective, right? According to a possibly-not-joking press release, Apples in Stereo frontman Robert Schneider has done just that. Scheider has invented a device he calls the Teletron, which allows the user to play an analog synth completely through brain activity.
Listen: That Kanye West/Raekwon/Justin Bieber Remix
By Ryan Dombal on August 30, 2010 at 12:15 p.m. EDT
The Twitter-born remix of Justin Bieber's "Runaway Love" featuring Raekwon and Kanye West is here-- listen to it at Hip Hop Connection. (Read about how this unlikely group got together here.)
The redo is basically Bieber's "Runaway Love" vocals over Wu-Tang's "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nothing ta Fuck Wit", along with new verses from Rae and Kanye. On it, Kanye raps, "Listen to Wu-Tang, tryin' suits on, accouterments is Grey Poupon." The Internet is an interesting place.
Watch the classic video for the original "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nothing ta Fuck Wit" below:
Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart Raffles Cup of His Pee for Graveface Records

Hospital Ships and Jonathan Meiburg: "Answers":
Hospital Ships: Answers [feat. Jonathan Meiburg]
A few weeks ago, major storms in Chicago caused flooding in some areas, and the Logan Square-based indie Graveface Records (Black Moth Super Rainbow, Jason Molina, Octopus Project) was hit hard. A large percentage of its stock was ruined without insurance coverage. So to make up some of the difference, Graveface is asking for donations and holding a raffle.
One of the prizes in that raffle stands out amidst all the rare test pressings and screen-printed tour posters: Xiu Xiu frontman Jamie Stewart has contributed a cup of his own piss. You've been warned.

University Hospitals (UH) and UnitedHealthcare have announced a collaboration to provide coordinated health care that improves quality and reduces costs for Northern Ohio residents enrolled in UnitedHealthcare's employer-sponsored health plans.
The new accountable care organization (ACO) model, which will launch Feb. 1, will help shift the Ohio health care system from one based on volume of care to one that rewards quality and value. Under the collaboration, University Hospitals and its affiliated physicians will manage all aspects of patients' care, providing the right care in the right place at the right time. This will be University Hospitals' fifth ACO program and UnitedHealthcare's second in Ohio.
"University Hospitals is pleased to join with UnitedHealthcare on an ACO that will enhance health services and improve coordination of care for patients," said Eric Bieber, M.D., University Hospitals' chief medical officer and president of its Accountable Care Organization. "We have had great success in improving wellness and managing costs for the more than 170,000 people in our current ACOs and look forward to expanding to include participants in UnitedHealthcare's employer-sponsored health plans."
"University Hospitals is a national leader in accountable care, and its experience with ACOs that coordinate quality care is rooted in knowing what's best for each patient's health care needs," said Robert Falkenberg, president & CEO, UnitedHealthcare of Ohio. "Our ACO partnership will enhance the quality and efficiency of care in this community through improved delivery of health care services."
The new ACO collaboration will help University Hospitals' primary care physicians, hospitals and home health care providers improve transitions of care for patients and facilitate better communication with all those involved in a patient's treatment. Primary care physicians in the ACO will receive regular updates on their patients, enabling them to monitor all of the care each patient is receiving, and to maintain all clinical information about each patient in a secure patient registry. Nearly 19,000 UnitedHealthcare plan participants who currently receive care from University Hospitals care providers will not have to do anything differently to receive ACO benefits, which include enhanced care coordination and follow-up.
With 170,000 individual patients, University Hospitals' pediatric, employee and Medicare ACOs represent one of the largest ACO initiatives in the United States, fostering long-term patient-care provider relationships that help promote preventive care, increase wellness and healthy behaviors, decrease emergency episodes and prevent hospitalizations. University Hospitals' ACO models coordinate patient care in a manner that increases the quality of care received, promotes health and wellness, improves the patient experience and reduces overall health care costs.
UnitedHealthcare, which serves more than 1.7 million Ohioans with a care provider network of more than 200 hospitals and 30,400 physicians statewide, is working with thousands of physician groups, hospitals, medical centers and other health care providers nationwide to place greater emphasis on rewarding care providers for better care, better health and lower costs.
"UnitedHealthcare seeks to improve the quality and efficiency of health care in line with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's 'Triple Aim' – better care and better health at lower cost," said Falkenberg. "This collaboration with University Hospitals continues to build on our longstanding commitment to help people in Ohio live healthier lives."
This is UnitedHealthcare's 15th accountable care collaboration in the United States. More than $27 billion of UnitedHealthcare's annual physician and hospital reimbursements are tied to accountable care programs, centers of excellence and other performance-based programs. The company recently announced it expects to grow its industry-leading accountable care contracts to $65 billion by 2018.

Over the weekend I visited my son at Mizzou for his fratnity's Father's Weekend. I survived better this year than last year since I have learned that shots are not for me at this age. We had a little time to visit the enclaves near Cliff Drive to see some Bernoudy-Mutrux- designed homes. I loved the setting perched high cliff above Hinkson Creek.
From William Adair Bernoudy, Architect by Osmund Overby:
"In 1950, Bernoudy began a series of projects in Columbia, Missouri, they came to him through a friendship with Thomas Putnam, an interior designer and at the time the chairman of the Interior Design Department at Stephens College. A new area on the east side of Columbia was being developed on a high cliff overlooking Hinkson Creek. Several members of the Stephens staff were among the original buyers of lots in the development, and through Putnam they engaged Bernoudy-Mutrux."
Here are a few pictures to give a flavor. I need to contact the owners to get a proper tour.

I was at two Kirkwood-area garden stores last weekend and couldn't find any Giant Allium bulbs. A lady next to me was also desperate to find some....they are the hot bulb! Well I did find a bunch of them at Summer Winds Nursery on Clarkson Rd....30% off, though they are still $5.50 a bulb. They better come up....my bill was over $100. I hope I have a real show in the late Spring! I hear some people spray paint the old blooms when they dry out.

While there are some accessories every room needs to make it look complete, there are others that can attract the wrong kind of attention. Visual clutter can detract rather than add to a home's beauty, not to mention its ability to function well. Here are six common accessories your home can really live without.
Pink Toilet Seat Cover. Gwendolyn Plath / fStop / Getty Images
No one needs a carpet-like covering for their toilet seat lid. Nor does anyone need a matching rug that fits cozily around the base of the toilet. For one thing, these items are breeding grounds for germs and are just something extra to wash. For another, do you really want todraw attention to the toilet by decorating it? Better to allow the toilet seat lid to be naked and place a small, attractive throw rug on the floor a little ways out from the toilet.

Lots of mismatched picture frames hung on the wall or sitting on a table--particularly ones that are too small or are cheaply made--are distracting. Family pictures are important, certainly, and it's hard to let go of some for sentimental reasons. Instead, select some favorites and give them a place of prominence by putting them in nicer frames and displaying them with more purpose. Create one gallery wall, for instance, or line your staircase with your favorites. Make a console table home to a handful of tastefully framed photos, and donate the rest of those frames to a good cause.
Alternatively, you could spray paint mismatched frames the same color so they look more cohesive when displayed as a group.

Who doesn't have a lot of these stuffed in a cupboard? Cheap glass vases are something else your home doesn't need. Get rid of them! Aim to have three to four pretty vases in different sizes to use for fresh flowers, but that should be plenty.
One exception to this, however, is if you can use these glass vases for something else. I spray painted my collection of florists' vases white to create a collection of faux milk glass that I have displayed in our bookcases. If you're looking for ways to fill your built-ins, this could be an easy and inexpensive solution; but, otherwise, ditch the extra glassware.
Some artificial plants--such assucculents, for instance--can actually look great; however, if you have any large, artificial flower arrangements in your home, chances are they're dusty and dated. This goes for fake trees, too. Since every room needs something living, though, consider a live tree, easy-to-grow houseplants, a small vase of fresh flowers, or simply a bowl of fruit on the table.
Accessories are great--even important for adding personality to a room--but too many of them can make your home feel cluttered and messy, even when it's clean. If you have large collections with which you don't want to part, simply rotate out the pieces from time to time. There's no need to display everything all at once. Resist the urge to cover every surface with tons of tiny tchotchkes and instead, follow this fool-proof rule of thumb: choose three objects in a larger scale (rather than a lot of small things) in varying heights for your coffee table,nightstand or side table and you'll be able to cut the visual clutter and achieve a more professional look.

No doubt the modern resurgence of the turntable bears testimony to the rekindled romance of listening to one's music in the purest form it was meant to be heard – analog. However no need to abandon the fun-loving styles from yesteryear. Let Crosley's reintroduction of the Dansette Series take you a time where these simple yet iconic styles ruled. In the mid 1960's at the height of popularity, British-branded Dansette players came to known as virtually a household staple. These vibrant artifacts clearly define a statement in popular culture from days gone by. This portable player can be taken on the go or attached to the included legs to quickly become a furniture-style statement in any setting. Enjoy your albums old style yet with modern convenience.

I have seen plenty of Mid-century homes with little hazzards for children. In fact, I had a couple coming to visit me with a young toddler and told them they could use my guest house. I took a look at my guest house railing above some steps to the lower level and realized that it was completely open and their cutie would fall right through. Well I ended up putting the guests up in my main house and I took over the guest house.

Here is my railing.

Last night we checked out Old Standard Fried Chicken located at 1621 Tower Grove Ave. There was a little bit of a wait since they don't take reservations, though it was worth it! Everything was so good and I will definitely be back. We even had dessert!

About 1,600 square feet of open retail space on the first floor with an efficiency kitchen and restroom. The second floor is about 1,600 sq. feet and is set up as a large 3 bedroom apartment with a kitchen and full bath.

My annuals will probably escape frost tonight, though maybe not....I though I would preserve them in photos. Right now they look at their peak, so it is a shame to have them stricken down....though cold weather must come. I bought a bunch of flowering kale today from Bowoods and Garden Heights to fill my planters if the frost does hit hard. I am sure you will see pictures of these.
On a somewhat side note....I have this adolescent buck gracing my yard. He has stripped one side of a newly planted magnolia and taken a Coral Bark Japanese Maple down from a 6 ft. specimen to a 2 ft stump. Why can't he focus on the invasive honeysuckle bushes in the area? The other night I followed him down Litzsinger Rd in my car as he galloped along. I am glad that I have some self control....and he is nice to look at in my yard.

Well we knew it was going to happen, though sometime you can just try to ignore reality...though the wonderful Bernoudy/Mutrux- designed Schweiss Home is coming down. See more pictures of the home HERE.
You may ask....how can this happen? It is the reality of finances. The home is only about 1,000 sq ft and the current owners wanted $400,000 for it....and it eventually sold for $375,000. That is $375 a square foot in Ladue which is very high. The home was is poor condition. 4 Daniel Rd. was never really listed in the open market. I had it under contract once, though the Buyer could not get it to appraise for anywhere near the purchase price....even with the lot value. Appraisers and banks can't get around price per sq foot. The other challenge was finding other 1,000 sq ft, 1 bedroom homes in Ladue for comps.
We needed someone to buy it who could pay cash and did not care about making it a financial decision....a charitable, architecture enthusiast! They are out there!

Earlier this week I had an opportunity to sneak out to our farm for the day and check out the Fall colors. I also wanted to check our farm house and make sure that it was okay after a nephew had his Freshman fraternity group out last weekend. The house was okay, though just too fragile to handle frat boys.
I also visited a fine property in Clarksville that I may be marketing....so it was not just a play day!
The old barn structures around the farm make wonderful subjects for photography....even making me look talented. I think it is the light quality and direction of the sun this time of year that makes everything dramatic!

Controversial television host Bill O'Reilly has shared his reaction to Eminem recently revealing his decision to not allow profanity in his home.
Speaking on his nightly broadcast earlier this week, O'Reilly pointed out the faults in Em's cursing restriction.
"Check three. Controversial rapper Eminem interviewed on '60 Minutes' last night as you may know he has made millions of dollars putting out stuff like this," O'Reilly said on his broadcast before playing a portion of Em's "Forever" verse. "But Eminem says he is different in private because he is raising three young girls. That does not add up. You sell a product aimed at young people and then you ban that product in your own home. Come on." (Fox News)
On Em's "60 Minutes" special, he explains why profanity is not allowed within his household.
"Profanity around my house? No," he tells Anderson Cooper in a '60 Minutes' interview, airing Sunday. "I'm not saying there's not glimpses of me in the music, [that] there's not truth in … things that I say. But this is music, this is my art…" When he's at home, the 38-year-old father-of-four (real name: Marshall Mathers) says: "I'm a parent. I have daughters. I mean, how would I really sound, as a person … walking around my house [saying], 'B*tch, pick this up,' you know what I mean? … I don't cuss." (Us Magazine)
In 2009, O'Reilly called out Em for his portrayal of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin in the "We Made You" music video.
"Few Americans take the vile rapper Eminem seriously," O'Reilly declared on his show. "He represents the lowest form ofentertainment in this country and is a publicity hound to boot. His attack on Sarah Palin, which is very crude, seems to be okay with the media…He's just a, I'm not even gonna do that…It's so crude what he does, kids see it, not adults. Nobody over 25 goes into this stuff…Eminem is obviously on an obscene rant about Sarah Palin, totally obscene, totally inappropriate, nothing good about it. Not a word from Media Matters, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, NBC News, any of the big media, nothing." ("The O'Reilly Factor")
When later asked about his opinion of O'Reilly, Em said the host's comments were humorous.
"[Bill O'Reilly], that guy's funny. He's f*cking hilarious. When I seen the thing, whatever the f*ck it was, when I was surfin' the Internet which I do so much, I seen it and was like eh, you know. I guess that's what he does in his world. It is what it is." (Shade 45)

In my 19 years as a technology reporter, I can't recall being so assiduously courted by an acquirer, with Ergen himself getting on the phone like a folksy uncle to tell me about his vision, plus an invitation to talk with Barclays, the banker advising Dish.
Ergen is trying to undo a $20.1 billion, or $7.30 a share, cash bid by Japan's SoftBank 9984.to 0.36551550289891604% SoftBank Corp. Japan: Tokyo JPY7963 29 0.36551550289891604% /Date(1417208400000-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 20m) : 5826300 P/E Ratio 13.665225151015925 Market Cap 9526039415250 Dividend Yield 0.5023232450081627% Rev. per Employee 116191000 More quote details and news » (9984.Japan), accepted by Sprint back in October.
He has already gained support from some top holders of Sprint and Dish shares. John Paulson, of Paulson & Co., the seventh-biggest shareholder of Sprint, with 128 million shares, says Dish is offering more value to Sprint holders than SoftBank. Omega Advisors' Leon Cooperman concurs, speaking in glowing terms of Ergen's acumen and vision. Omega is the 10th-largest Sprint holder and the 16th-largest holder of Dish.
Ergen's vision is audacious, as it represents something that has never been accomplished in wireless services. Together, Dish and Sprint, and Sprint's partner Clearwire (CLWR), which would be brought in under Dish's offer, would have spectrum licenses worth about $40 billion—valuing those licenses as if they were sold outright.
But just like real estate, spectrum isn't worth much unless it's developed, and that's where Ergen thinks he has a brilliant plan. Dish, which has 14 million video subscribers across the country, would merge its spectrum holdings with the wireless networks of Sprint and Clearwire to provide a kind of ultimate bundle of services, allowing subscribers to have access to television programming wherever they have a wirelessly enabled tablet or smartphone.
"We know customers love video in their home, and they want to watch it outside their home, on tablets and larger-screen phones," Ergen tells me. "They want that system to work together," and to do that, you need the partnerships that Dish has with the TV networks and other content providers, he insists—something that he believes makes his deal unique.
The full-court push by Dish is understandable, given what has been skepticism in many corners about Dish's ability to win Sprint's hand.
Sprint's shares on Friday traded near $7.17, suggesting uncertainty about SoftBank coming in with a much higher bid. In fact, Bloomberg reported that morning that an unnamed SoftBank executive claimed the company won't make a higher bid, though it's hard to know if that's simply spin.
Yet Sprint and SoftBank are already far along in the regulatory-approval process, with the Department of Justice having already signed off on antitrust issues. A Dish bid would reset the clock, costing Sprint precious time in the highly competitive wireless market, as a report from policy research firm MGA pointed out last week.
The deal itself has pluses and minuses. Ergen trumpets the larger upfront cash portion of his offer, $4.76 per Sprint share versus the $4.03 per share implied by SoftBank's offer. Dish expects to bring $11 billion in synergies from cost-cutting, which could be accretive to combined earnings by 2015, and analysts believe there is a possible $37 billion in total synergies if the companies can create successful new products. But the total debt load of $44 billion for a combined Dish-Sprint has the Street divided over the merger's virtue.
ON THE BULL SIDE, JPMorgan's Philip Cusick last week raised his rating on Sprint shares to a Buy, arguing that despite what would be high leverage of 4.7 times as a measure of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation, synergies could rapidly bring that down to just 3.4 times. His price target is $8.
On the bear side, Pacific Crest Securities analyst Andy Hargreaves, who has a Hold rating on Dish shares, writes that after backing out the debt, both Sprint and Dish shareholders would see their equity diluted.
But one person's dilution is another's value stock. A source close to the deal points out that Sprint shares are trading at 7.5 times projected Ebitda of $5 billion this year, while Dish, at a recent $39, trades at just under six times the $6.90 per share in Ebitda that it may produce this year.
Combined—with an enterprise value of $67 billion, assuming the initial $11 billion in synergies play out—the two companies joined could have Ebitda of $10.2 billion, giving the stock a multiple of just 6.6 times.
The way this source sees it, the multiple is lower for Sprint, but the stock can enjoy multiple expansion from there, while Dish trades up to a higher multiple warranted by the earnings accretion that will come in time.
Ergen's reputation as a wheeler-dealer has some wondering if the Sprint bid is just a move to put his company at the center of a battle with wireless giants AT&T T 0.7116424708226587% AT&T Inc.

If the Sprint deal doesn't go through, goes one theory, the fierce battle for Sprint might compel AT&T or Verizon to buy out Dish's spectrum holdings, which are privately valued at $10 billion, according to Jonathan Chaplin, a telecom analyst at New Street Research.
Responds Ergen: "People are wrong to think we're playing a game. We are honestly, seriously, 100% interested in Sprint."
At the end of the day, none of the skepticism matters to Cooperman of Omega, which owns over four million shares of Dish and over 75 million shares of Sprint. Cooperman, a professed admirer of Ergen and a longtime holder of Dish, says he would be happy with either owner, Ergen or SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, for whom he also has a great deal of respect.
When I point out Chaplin's theory that Ergen is being calculating, Cooperman brushes it aside. "He's not bidding to put himself into play," he says. "If he wanted to do that, all he would have to do is call up his favorite banker."
As for Sprint's shares, which he was still buying last week, Cooperman says, "I don't care what the company is; if two parties want the same asset, that's a good place to be."

The problem: You
arrive early, and there's hardly anyone there yet. You and your friends are
feeling stupid and bored.
The solution: Remind each other that you have fun together
whenever you hang out at other times. You never needed crowds before when it
was just your group, and you've all danced together around your room a thousand
times. Stop waiting for others to make the fun- get out there on the dance
floor and make your own.
The problem: You are
having a blast, but the good friend you came with tells you she's ready to go
home now. But the night is still young, and you want to stay.
The solution: This is a tricky one and definitely depends on the
circumstances. Did something bad happen to her, like she just got dumped or tore
her skirt? If so, pull her aside and talk to her. The friendship comes first,
and she needs you. If she's just bored or cranky, that's another story. You can
tell her you understand she needs to bolt, but you'd like to stay and catch a
ride home with someone else. If that's not possible, try to compromise on a
fair time she would be willing to stick it out, like a half hour or so.
The problem: You're
the one who's bored, and there is no way you can leave early. Two hours to go,
and you feel stuck.

This is the post-login "loading" screen on a (generally badly-spelt) Paypal phishing website, with a perhaps-unintended moment of truth:
We did a Bugzilla security release today, to fix some holes responsibly disclosed to us by Check Point Vulnerability Research, to whom we are very grateful. The most serious of them would allow someone to create and control an account for an arbitrary email address they don't own. If your Bugzilla gives group permissions based on someone's email domain, as some do, this could be a privilege escalation.
(Update 2014-10-07 05:42 BST: to be clear, this pattern is most commonly used to add "all people in a particular company" to a group, using an email address regexp like
.*@mozilla.com$. It is used this way on bugzilla.mozilla.org to allow Mozilla Corporation employees access to e.g. Human Resources bugs. Membership of the Mozilla security group, which has access to unfixed vulnerabilities, is done on an individual basis and could not be obtained using this bug. The same is true of BMO admin privileges.)
These bugs are actually quite interesting, because they seem to represent a new Perl-specific security problem. (At least, as far as I'm aware it's new, but perhaps we are about to find that everyone knows about it but us. Update 2014-10-08 09:20 BST: everything old is new again; but the level of response, including changes to CGI.pm, suggest that this had mostly faded from collective memory.) This is how it works. I'm using the most serious bug as my example. The somewhat less serious bugs caused by this pattern were XSS holes. (Check Point are going to be presenting on this vulnerability at the 31st Chaos Communications Congress in December in Hamburg, so check their analysis out too.)
Here's the vulnerable code:
my $otheruser = Bugzilla::User->create({ login_name => $login_name, realname => $cgi->param('realname'), cryptpassword => $password});
This code creates a new Bugzilla user in the database when someone signs up.
$cgi is an object representing the HTTP request made to the page.
The issue is a combination of two things. Firstly, the
$cgi->param() call is context-sensitive – it can return a scalar or an array, depending on the context in which you call it – i.e. the type of the variable you assign the return value to. The ability for functions to do this is a Perl "do what I mean" feature.
Let's say you called a page as follows, with 3 instances of the same parameter:
If you call
param() in an array context (the @ sigil represents a variable which is an array), you get an array of values:
@values = $cgi->param('foo'); --> ['bar', 'baz', 'quux']
If you call it in a scalar context (the $ sigil represents a variable which is a scalar), you get a single value, probably the first one:
$value = $cgi->param('foo'); --> 'bar'
So what context is it being called in, in the code under suspicion? Well, that's exactly the problem. It turns out that functions called during hash value assignment are evaluated in a list context. However, when the result comes back, that value or those values are assigned to be part of uthe hash as if they were a set of individual, comma-separated scalars. I suspect this behaviour exists because of the close relationship of lists and hashes; it allows you to do stuff like:
my @array = ("foo", 3, "bar", 6); my %hash = @array; --> { "foo" => 3, "bar" => 6 }
Therefore, when assigning the result of a function call as a hash value, if the return value is a single scalar, all goes as you would expect, but if it's an array, the second and subsequent values end up being added as key/value pairs in the hash as well. This allows an attacker to override values already in the hash (specified earlier), which may have already been validated, with values controlled by them. In our case,
real_name can be any string, so doesn't need validation, but
login_name most definitely does, and it already has been by the time this code is called.
So, in the case of the problematic code above, something like:
would end up overriding the already-validated
login_name variable, giving the attacker control of the value used in the call to
Bugzilla::User->create(). Oops.
We found 15 instances of this pattern in our code, four of which were exploitable to some degree. If you maintain a Perl web application, you may want to audit it for this pattern. Clearly, CGI.pm
param() calls are the first thing to look for, but it's possible that this pattern could occur with other modules which use the same context-sensitive return feature. The generic fix is to require the function call to be evaluated in scalar context:
my $otheruser = Bugzilla::User->create({ login_name => $login_name, realname => scalar $cgi->param('realname'), cryptpassword => $password});
I'd say it might be wise to not ever allow hash values to be assigned directly from functions without a call to
For a while now, criminals have been breaking into email accounts and using them to spam the account's address book with phishing emails or the like. More evil criminals will change the account password, and/or delete the address book and the email to make it harder for the account owner to warn people about what's happened.
My mother recently received an email, purportedly from my cousin's husband, titled "Confidential Doc". It was a mock-up of a Dropbox "I've shared an item with you" email, with the "View Document" URL actually being http://proshow.kz/excel/OLE/PPS/redirect.php. This (currently) redirects to http://www.affordablewebdesigner.co.uk/components/com_wrapper/views/wrapper/tmpl/dropbox/, although it redirected to another site at the time. That page says "Select your email provider", explaining "Now, you can sign in to dropbox with your email". When you click the name of your email provider, it asks you for your email address and password. And boom – they have another account to abuse.
But the really interesting thing was that my mother, not being born yesterday, emailed back saying "I've just received an email from you. But it has no text – just an item to share. Is it real, or have you been hacked?" So far, so cautious. But she actually got a reply! It said:
Hi <her shortened first name>,
I sent it, It is safe.
<his first name>
(The random capital was in the original.)
Now, this could have been a very smart templated autoresponder, but I think it's more likely that the guy stayed logged into the account long enough to "reassure" people and to improve his hit rate. That might tell us interesting things about the value of a captured email account, if it's worth spending manual effort trying to convince people to hand over their creds.
From a recent email about "changes to your terms and conditions". ("Secure Key" is their dedicated keyfob 2-factor solution; it's currently required both to log in and to pay a new payee. It's rather well done.)
These changes will also enable us to introduce some enhancements to our service over the coming months. You'll still have access to the full Internet Banking service by logging on with your Secure Key, but in addition, you'll also be able log in to a limited service when you don't use your Secure Key – you'll simply need to verify your identity by providing other security information we request. We'll contact you again to let you know when this new feature becomes available to you.
Full details of all the changes can be found below which you should read carefully. If you choose not to accept the changes, you have the right to ask us to stop providing you with the [Personal Internet Banking] service, before they come into effect. If we don't hear from you, we'll assume that you accept the changes.
Translation: we are lowering the security we use to protect your account information from unauthorised viewing and, as long as you still want to be able to access your account online at all, there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
All passengers flying into or out of the UK are being advised to ensure electronic and electrical devices in hand luggage are sufficiently charged to be switched on.
All electronic devices? Including phones, right? So you must be concerned that something dangerous could be concealed inside a package the size of a phone. And including laptops, right? Which are more than big enough to contain said dangerous phone-sized electronics package in the CD drive bay, or the PCMCIA slot, and still work perfectly. Or, the evilness could even be occupying 90% of the body of the laptop, while the other 10% is taken up by an actual phone wired to the display and the power button which shows a pretty picture when the laptop is "switched on".
Or are the security people going to make us all run 3 applications of their choice and take a selfie using the onboard camera to demonstrate that the device is actually fully working, and not just showing a static image?

https://www.hotmail.co.uk/ is throwing cert errors this morning. Looks like they renewed their cert recently and, among the many SANs included, forgot "www.hotmail.co.uk". https://hotmail.co.uk/ works fine…
This issue was reported to me by my mother (who rang me when she had a cert problem rather than just clicking through it! :-), so it's not just me…
I didn't see this article by LinkedIn when it was first posted in October last year. But it warms the heart to see a large company laying out how it is deploying things like CSP, HSTS and pinning, along with SSL deployment best practice, to make its users more secure. I hope that many more follow in their footsteps.
Microsoft recently announced that they were enhancing their "SmartScreen" system to send back to Microsoft every SSL certificate that every IE user encounters. They will use this information to try and detect SSL misissuances on their back end servers.
They may or may not be successful in doing that, but this implementation raises significant questions of privacy.
SmartScreen is a service to submit the full URLs you visited in IE (including query strings) to Microsoft for reputation testing and possible blocking. While Microsoft tries to reassure users by saying that this information passes to them over SSL, that doesn't help much. It means an attacker with control of the network can't see where you are browsing from this information – but if they have control of your network, they can see a lot about where you are browsing anyway. And Microsoft has full access to the data. The link to "our privacy statement" in the original SmartScreen announcement is, rather worryingly, broken. This is the current one, and it also tells us Each SmartScreen request comes with a unique identifier. That doesn't contain any personal information, but it does allow Microsoft, or someone else with a subpoena, to reconstruct an IE user's browsing history. The privacy policy also says nothing about whether Microsoft might use this information to e.g. find out what's currently trending on the web. It seems they don't need to provide a popular analytics service to get that sort of insight.
You might say that if you are already using SmartScreen, then sending the certificates as well doesn't reveal much more information to Microsoft about your browsing than they already have. I'd say that's not much comfort – but it's also not quite true. SmartScreen does have a local whitelist for high traffic sites and so they don't find out when you visit those sites. However (I assume), every certificate you encounter is sent to Microsoft, including high-traffic sites – as they are the most likely to be victims of misissuance. So Microsoft now know every site your browser visits, not just the less common ones.
By contrast, Firefox's (and Chrome's) implementation of the original function of SmartScreen, SafeBrowsing, uses a downloaded list of attack sites, so that the URLs you visit are not sent to Google or anyone else. And Certificate Transparency, the Google approach to detecting certificate misissuance after the fact which is now being standardized at the IETF, also does not violate the privacy of web users, because it does not require the browser to provide information to a third-party site. (Mozilla is currently evaluating CT.)
If I were someone who wanted to keep my privacy, I know which solution I'd prefer.
We're replacing Firefox Sync with something different… and not only did we publish the technical documentation of how the crypto works, but it contains a careful and clear analysis of the security improvements and weaknesses compared with the old one. We don't just tell you "Trust us, it's better, it's the new shiny."
The bottom line is in order get easier account recovery and device addition, and to allow the system to work on slower devices, e.g. Firefox OS phones, your security has become dependent on the strength of your chosen Sync password when it was not before. (Before, Sync didn't even have passwords.) This post is not about whether that's the right trade-off or not – I just want to say that it's awesome that we are open and up front about it.
Microsoft has announced that CAs in its root program may not issue certs signed using the SHA-1 algorithm, starting just over two years from now, and that Windows will start refusing to recognise such certs starting just over 3 years from now.
Make no mistake, this is a huge move and an aggressive timetable. 98% of certificates in use on the Internet today use SHA-1. Any certificate being used on the public web today which has an expiry date more than 3 years in the future will not be able to live out its full life. And it's also an important and necessary move. SHA-1 is weak, and as computing power increases, is only getting weaker. If someone came up with a successful preimage attack on SHA-1, they could preimage a commonly-used intermediate cert from a popular CA and impersonate any website in a way only detectable by someone who examines certificates very, very carefully.
I strongly welcome this, and want to use it as an opportunity to make further improvements in the CA ecosystem. Currently, the maximum lifetime of a certificate under the Baseline Requirements is 5 years. It is due to reduce to 39 months in April 2015. Given that 98% of the certificates on the Internet are going to need to be thrown away 3 years from now anyway, I want to take the opportunity to reduce that figure early.
Long-lived certificates are problematic because CAs understandably strongly resist having to call their customers up and tell them to replace their working certificates before they would naturally expire. So, if there are certificates out there with a lifetime of N years, you can only rely on 100% coverage or usage of an improved security practice after N years. With N = 5, that reduces the speed at which the industry can move. N = 3 isn't awesome, but it's a whole lot better than N = 5.
So I will be bringing forward a motion at the CAB Forum to update the Baseline Requirements to reduce the maximum certificate lifetime to 3 years, effective from January 1st 2014.
I've just got a new laptop, a Thinkpad X230 running Ubuntu 13.10, and I'm going to try living Flash-free. (I know, I know – James Dean, eat your heart out.) I know there are free software Flash implementations, including one from Mozilla, but I'd like to see how much stuff breaks if I don't have any of it installed. I'll blog from time to time about problems I encounter.
I'm currently in a "Cryptography Usability" session at Mozilla Festival, where someone made the point that crypto terminology is complex, and we should simplify it.
Inspired by this, I wondered: instead of "public key" and "private key", why not call them "face key" and "arse key"? They are an associated pair, but you show one to the public, and keep the other one well hidden. It's certainly a metaphor with explanatory power…
Dear Internet,
If you search for "Ubuntu Full Disk Encryption" the first DuckDuckGo hit, titled "Community Ubuntu Documentation", says: "This article is incomplete, and needs to be expanded", "Please refer to EncryptedFilesystems for further documentation", and "WARNING! We use the cryptoloop module in this howto. This module has well-known weaknesses." Hardly inspiring. The rest of the docs are a maze of outdated and locked-down wiki pages that I can't fix.
What all of them fail to state is that, as of 12.10, it's now a simple checkbox in the installer. So I hope this blog post will get some search engine juice so that more people don't spend hours working out how to do it.
It used to be that my bank rang me (on one of the regular occasions where they mistakenly block my debit card, often over payments which have been occurring regularly every month for years) and asked me to authenticate myself. These days, they ring me and make at least an attempt to authenticate themselves to me, which is an improvement. However, the conversation still goes something like this:
Bank: "Sir, if you give me the month and year of your date of birth, I'll give you the day."
Me: "But my date of birth is on Wikipedia. Anyone can know what it is. You can't use it to prove I'm me."
Bank: "…"
There should be a list of pieces of information which are considered sufficiently "public" or "well known" and so should never be used for authentication – because they are publicly discoverable or because you have to give them to large numbers of people in the course of life. There should be a website listing them, and a hall of shame for companies which use them. Those well-known pieces of information would include:
What else?
In general, companies should instead use information specific to their relationship with that customer. For example "last item you bought" or "last transaction you made" at a bank.

Calling the President's eight-day sojourn to Europe "enormously productive," David Axelrod, senior adviser to President Obama, joked about the high expectations for the trip
Saying that the "premise" of a reporters' question about the success and failures of the president's first international trip "was: 'Why didn't the waters part, the sun shine, and all the ills of the world disappear because President Obama came to Europe this week?'" Axelrod said, "that wasn't our expectation."
"That will take at least a few weeks," he joked.
Axelrod said that accomplishments included security the commitment of G-20 nations for greater regulation of financial institutions, support among NATO nations for the President's Afghanistan strategy, and a number of stronger relationships.
Is the president leaving this trip with a greater sense of self-confidence? Axelrod was asked.
"I've never felt that was a problem," Axelrod said dryly.
Utilizing an agricultural metaphor about what the president "harvested," offered by a different reporter, Axelrod said, "you don't you don't leave with a bounty in the first instance. I mean there were some specific things that were accomplished here – at the G-20, at NATO, relative to Afghanistan that are tangible and are important but over time the seeds that were planted here are going to be very, very valuable for the security and progress of the United States."
Axelrod said: "there will be a harvest. It will come at different times, and different ways, but the seeds were planted and that was the goal of this trip."
One of those accomplishments came through President Obama winning over international populaces," Axelrod said.
"Throughout the campaign, the President spoke about the need to repair out relationships in the world, to mend our frayed alliances and begin again a dialogue with our allies and discussions with our adversaries to try to move America's agenda forward, to try to make our country safer, to set the conditions for a better future," said the mustachioed Chicagoan. "We feel that we've taken a great step forward on this trip. The President has had the chance to establish personal relationships with leaders of many countries, with leaders who are gong to be important to us in promoting Americas interest in the world and the world's security in the future."
Moreover, Axelrod said, "I think as important, we've — I think — begun a dialogue with the people of these countries as well. And one of the things that will make it easier for leaders of these nations to work cooperatively with us moving forward is the fact that we have a more positive image among their constituents. And that plainly is true. You can see it in all the polling that was released in the last few days. I think in every country in Europe we've made progress."
ABC News asked National Security Council official Denis McDonough whether the realities of the North Korean missile launch — and the struggle to secure Russian and Chinese support on the United Nations Security Council for strong action — highlights the difficulty of the task before them, despite announcements on pending summits with Russian and Chinese leaders.
"You've heard it from the president himself, that we've inherited a very, very difficult situation," McDonough said. "Is North Korea hard? Absolutely. Is — in and of itself — is the situation in Iraq difficult? Y es. Is the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan threatening and potentially destabilizing? Yes. All those things taken together in the context of a global financial crisis– does that make it all much more difficult? Yes.
"The president has always indicated that he is going to be persistent on this," McDonough said, adding that the president "is going to work tirelessly" and "knows there's no silver bullet to any of these issues."
