Our firm~{The firm}~SonicWall~Sonic}~Our firm~{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. An attacker will obtain null byte stuffed certificate to resemble the origin of the content, making your computer vulnerable to attacks because your system cannot distinguish if the machine is under attack from third party source.

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 problem was first brouched during the July 29-30, 2009 BalckHat security conference session 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. SonicWALL has issued the following IPS signature

SonicWALL has developed unique technologies to deliver zero day gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware and intrusion prevention signatures to its subscribers on a continual basis, allowing them to defend against new and existing Internet attacks and exploits such as phishing, viruses, DHA or DoS attacks and more. All computers with installed SonicWAll’s gateway threat prevention services have reported they have not experienced any attacks through the exploitation of said weakness.

SonicWALL Internet security , a leading secure network infrastructure company, has announced Northwoods Community Church (Northwoods) a member of the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches serving a congregation of 3,900 churchgoers in Peoria, Illinois, has deployed a SonicWALL Clean VPN by combining a SonicWALL SSL-VPN 2000 secure remote access appliance with a SonicWALL® E-Class NSA E5500 network security appliance.

Jason Lee, Northwood’s IT Director said the church has several staff who travels frequently and are in constant need to access data from their servers. “Even though they are trusted connections, we want to be sure we still have a line of protection at our perimeter. Providing clean and secure remote access to our networks offers a huge value to us.”

Northwoods’ E5500 firewall scans both inbound and outbound SSL VPN traffic using Gateway Antivirus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention services.

As a nonprofit organization, Northwoods is especially sensitive to value.

“We admit that our resources are scarce therefore we have to maximize its use to help us succeed in our endevours by using the most advanced, yet cost-effective technology availalable. “SonicWALL gives us security and performance that might be out of our budget’s reach from a Cisco or Juniper.”

By selecting SonicWALL Internet security‘s E-Class, Lee freed up budget for other initiatives. And using Unified Threat Management instead of separate services and servers from different vendors has lowered his costs, and eased budgeting and planning.

Lee said the Church is also planning to expand SonicWall’s Clean Wireless implementation.

So far, Lee said the campus has installed at least 13 SonicPointes to provide Internet security around the church. “We apply Gateway Antivirus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention services, as well as Content Filtering, to all inbound and outbound traffic on our wireless network.”
