A backdoor in the software Juniper allowing attackers three years VPN traffic could eavesdrop and which this week released an emergency patch now has the attention of the FBI. According to CNN, the investigative namely launched an investigation.
That let government officials know further not be named. Juniper announced on Thursday that it had found during a check “unauthorized code” in ScreenOS. NetScreen ScreenOS is the operating system of network devices. These devices provide firewalling, VPN connections and traffic shaping. Through the attached code could allow an attacker access to administrator access NetScreen devices and decrypting VPN connections.
US government officials are concerned that attackers use the vulnerability to gain access to companies or government agencies that Juniper equipment have standing. One of the government officials CNN spoke likens it to a runner that allows access to every public building can be obtained. Also notify the officials that made backdoor, because of its complexity, is the work of a foreign government.
The unauthorized code would certainly not have been made by US intelligence agencies, so let them know. Juniper first opened up to the publication of the emergency patch that to their knowledge there is no abuse had occurred. The National Cyber Security Centre of the Dutch government announced that it is going to two vulnerabilities could allow an attacker via SSH and telnet access to the system can get.
