Submission + - Patch out for 'ridiculous' Trend Micro command execution vulnerability (theregister.co.uk)

An anonymous reader writes: A bug in its software meant that Trend Micro accidentally left a remote debugging server running on customer machines. The flaw, discovered by Google’s Project Zero researcher Tavis Ormandy, opened the door to command execution of vulnerable systems (running either Trend Micro Maximum Security, Trend Micro Premium Security or Trend Micro Password Manager). Ormandy – who previously discovered a somewhat similar flaw in Trend Micro’s technology – described the latest flaw as “ridiculous”. Trend Micro issued a patch for the flaw on Wednesday, a little over a week after Ormandy reported the bug to it on 22 March. The patch is not complete but does address the most critical issues at hand, according to Trend.

Comment CLI is the best UX for me (Score 1) 114

As a network administrator who configures routers, switches, and firewalls on a regular basis, I don't give a flying flip about what's commonly thought of as "good UX design" on IT appliances. The best UX for me is the one that's the fastest. Which means SSH, CLI, and text editors over anything graphical. As examples:
A router's web interface requires clicking through multiple pages to find the right box to check or fill in to add a new subnet to a BGP session (if it's even possible at all). Via CLI, I can do this with one config stanza.
I'd rather edit a config file (preferably one that's well-commented) in a text editor than wade through the web interface on any appliance.
I'll ALWAYS open up PuTTY instead of ASDM when I need to modify a firewall rule on a Cisco ASA.
