FYI -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [So-ac-sg-cleaders] Adobe Connect Update - ICANN Date: Wed, 9 May 2018 17:00:05 +0000 From: David Olive <david.olive(a)icann.org> To: so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org <so-ac-sg-cleaders(a)icann.org> CC: Ashwin Rangan <ashwin.rangan(a)icann.org> Adobe Connect Update - ICANN https://www.icann.org/news/blog/adobe-connect-update Adobe Connect Update Adobe Connect Update - Ashwin Rangan <#><#><#><#><#><#> I wanted to give you an update on the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) plan for a remote participation tool and reinstating Adobe Connect. Based on your overwhelming sentiment, over 75% of you asked in one way or another for Adobe Connect, we are carefully moving ahead with attempting to restore Adobe Connect. We are working closely with penetration testing firms including CoSo Cloud, LLC (our hosting firm) and Adobe Systems Inc. to make sure it is fully secure. The next step is to trial-test a hardened instance at the Vancouver Board meeting and then the Global Domains Division Summit from 10 May onwards. I will update you after this. In addition, a smaller margin of you said to look into Zoom Video Communications as an alternative or back-up for a mid- to long-term solution. We will begin this research, as it is prudent to be prepared and to explore all options. Thank you for your feedback, continued patience, and understanding while we move forward with this plan.

Security updates available for Adobe Connect | APSB18-18
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh May 8, 2018

May 8, 2018

Nothing to do from the end user end, but FYI https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/connect/apsb18-18.html An important authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2018-4994) exists in Adobe Connect versions 9.7.5 and earlier. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in sensitive information disclosure. >From https://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-connect/kb/update-for-adobe-connect-now-avail… During our security testing, it was discovered that Adobe Connect may allow access to some Adobe Connect configuration console pages without requiring authentication.  These pages are read-only but display information regarding the Adobe Connect Database account as well as other configuration pages.  Without direct access to the database, the information cannot be accessed. However, we recommend following the below steps to control access to these pages.

Fwd: [Ccwg-auctionproceeds] ADOBE CONNECT – WHAT NEXT? - ICANN Blog By Ash Rangan
by Judith Hellerstein April 24, 2018

April 24, 2018

Hi All, Very interesting blog by Ash Rangan. Forwarding this email widely so others could read it and discuss it. Best, Judith Sent from my iPad judith(a)jhellerstein.com Skype ID:JudithHellerstein Begin forwarded message: > From: Nathalie Peregrine <nathalie.peregrine(a)icann.org> > Date: April 20, 2018 at 2:16:27 PM EDT > To: "ccwg-auctionproceeds(a)icann.org" <ccwg-auctionproceeds(a)icann.org> > Subject: [Ccwg-auctionproceeds] ADOBE CONNECT – WHAT NEXT? - ICANN Blog By Ash Rangan > > Dear all: > > Please take a look at this blog on Adobe Connect. And note the request: > > Before we make these changes, we want to hear from you. What do you think? Please submit your thoughts on this contemplated move before May 2nd here: RP-tool(a)icann.org > > Best regards, David > > > https://www.icann.org/news/blog/adobe-connect-what-next[icann.org] > > ADOBE CONNECT – WHAT NEXT? > As you know, the ICANN organization took down its Adobe Connect service midway through the ICANN61 meeting in response to reported issues[icann.org] with this service. Concurrently, we began to conduct our own forensic analysis of the reported incident and began working with our Adobe cloud service provider, CoSo Cloud LLC, and through them with Adobe to learn more. Shortly thereafter, we rolled out instances of Zoom and WebEx for the community to support remote participation (RP) and collaboration. Here's where we are now: > > The Forensics Investigation > With respect to our forensics work, we received application logfiles from CoSo Cloud, going back for a period of one year. ICANN Engineering and Security teams have examined these application log files and the results of our investigation clearly show "fingerprints of incursion" by the researcher who reported the issue. We were unable to find any other indication that anyone else either identified or exploited this issue. Thanks to the person who found the bug again. > Working closely with CoSo Cloud, we were able to recreate the reported issue, and understand the conditions required to trigger it. This information has been communicated to Adobe, and Adobe is working on a software fix to address the root cause of the issue. > We have also been working with CoSo on options to re-enable Adobe Connect in the shorter term. We have determined there are two viable paths to accomplish this goal. They are: > Deploy a hardened configuration to eliminate "man-in-the-middle" exploitations by encrypting relevant traffic, or > Implement a programmatic fix from CoSo Cloud to substantially reduce the window during which the issue can be exploited. > With respect to the first option, we attempted to hack the hardened configuration in a test environment last week, and were not able to do so over the course of 7 hours. Separately, CoSo Cloud and Adobe conducted similar tests and confirmed that this configuration is protected from exploitation of the issue. > > Community Feedback and Next Steps > For the last three weeks, we have been gathering limited feedback regarding users' experiences with WebEx and Zoom. So far, we have input from about 200 people, including ICANN org meeting organizers and the ICANN community. Our analysis of this feedback indicates a desire to revert back to an Adobe Connect, providing the security of the service is ensured. > Accordingly, we would like to propose the following plan to the broader community for consideration: > We would like to restore Adobe Connect services with both the new hardened configuration and the programmatic fix discussed above. Our intent would be to restore service by 3 May. This would allow us to use Adobe Connect during several upcoming events including the Board Workshop, the GDD Industry Summit, and ICANN62. > Once Adobe releases a new version of the software with a fix for this issue from their perspective, and provides assurance the update has been adequately tested, we will move toward that release of Adobe Connect in a prudent manner, with the help of CoSo Cloud. > > We believe that this approach will ensure the security of our content, and of our community interactions, while also enabling our community to use the collaboration tools of their choice. > > Before we make these changes, we want to hear from you. What do you think? Please submit your thoughts on this contemplated move before May 2nd here: RP-tool(a)icann.org > > Meanwhile, we will continue to offer WebEx and Zoom for RP and collaboration purposes. We will also continue to follow industry developments, including the research ALAC is doing on the RP and collaboration space, to ensure we are using secure and cost-effective tools that are appropriate for our needs. > > I look forward to your comments! > > > > David A.

Annoucments from Cisco regarding changes to WebEx
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh April 23, 2018

April 23, 2018

https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/04/18/1480793/0/en/Take-the-Mun… “To make it easier for teams to meet and get great work done, today we announce that we are converging the Cisco Spark™ and Webex platforms. The result is a new Webex Meetings application for your meetings and a new seamless team collaboration application called Webex Teams (formerly Cisco Spark). We are putting all our award-winning video devices onto this newly converged platform. And we’re adding a new hardware device that turns any work space with a TV into a Webex room. We didn’t stop there. We’re making everything easier to buy. And we’re continuing to apply machine learning and artificial intelligence that will dramatically improve meetings as we know them today.“
