Carrier Software Flaws Imperil Smartphones: Report

 

Enterprises should implement a network access control solution to lock out any device that has not been kept up-to-date with patching, suggested tech analyst Rob Enderle. They also should review the update process with the carriers they use and drop those that don't issue timely updates, he said, and "it would be prudent to be aggressive with this policy."

Wireless carriers pose a threat to mobile phone security, researchers have disclosed.

Mathew Solnik and Marc Blanchou of Accuvant this week told an audience at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas that Android, BlackBerry and some iOS devices are vulnerable.
The problem lies in a device management tool using the OMA Device Management Standard, which carriers embed into mobile devices in order to configure them and push over-the-air firmware updates, among other things.
The tool apparently is used in about 2 billion mobile phones worldwide.
"Until this is fixed, certain things like banking should not be done on a smartphone that doesn't have an aggressive patching policy," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld.
Android devices are particularly at risk because they dominate the market, the carriers control the upgrade cycle, and hackers can get access to the source code to refine their attacks, Enderle warned. 

What the Vulnerability Allows

The management tool also is used to remotely configure handsets for roaming or voice over WiFi, as well as to lock a device to a specific carrier.
Each carrier and device manufacturer has its own custom implementation of the standard, and some implementations provide carriers with various extra features. These include remote wipe and remote factory reset, as well as remotely changing OS settings and even the PIN for the screen lock, Accuvant found.
Other features let a carrier identify nearby WiFi networks, disable the phone's camera, identify and activate, deactivate, and edit or remove applications on a handset with or without the device owner's knowledge or consent.
Some versions of the tool let carriers modify settings and servers for preinstalled applications, a feature hackers can exploit.
Other custom features let carriers retrieve synced contacts, offer a call redirect function -- which hackers can abuse, or program phone numbers to launch an application.
Many carriers have added encryption and authentication, but Accuvant found it easy to get around them.

Getting the Carriers on Board

Accuvant has notified the carriers and the company that makes the software, and the situation is being remedied.
The company that makes the software has issued a fix that solves the problem, according to Accuvant. In addition, baseband manufacturers have written code to implement the fix, and carriers are in the process of distributing the fix to existing phones.
The actual risks for consumers "tend to be overblown for two reasons," said Jan Dawson, chief analyst at Jackdaw Research.
"First, a consumer would have to be specifically targeted by someone with the motive, means and opportunity to take advantage of the vulnerability, which is ... very unlikely. Second, these vulnerabilities tend not to be publicized until they're patched," he told TechNewsWorld.

Implications for BYOD

Companies with Bring Your Own Device, or BYOD, policies "should, regardless of any specific vulnerability, make sure their devices are running the latest software from OEMs and carriers," Dawson said.
Enterprises should implement a network access control solution to lock out any device that has not been kept up-to-date with patching, Enderle suggested.
They also should review the update process with the carriers they use and drop those that don't issue timely updates, he said, and "it would be prudent to be aggressive with this policy."

Trouble With a Capital 'T'

Things "will likely get much worse going forward," Enderle predicted. "Phones are now the most vulnerable attack point [containing] identity information, and they are almost always connected outside of a firewall, making them the easiest target."
Corporations need to be on their toes -- 24 percent of the 1,100 security practitioners responding to the 2014 BYOD & Mobile Security Study conducted by the Information Security community on LinkedIn, said their organizations had no mobile device policy.
Also, 21 percent said privately owned devices were widely used in their organizations but were not supported by IT.

Microsoft calls end to Android Nokia X smartphones

 Microsoft calls end to Android Nokia X smartphones

Microsoft is to stop developing Android-powered smartphones beyond those already available, the BBC understands.

Nokia X models will now become part of the Lumia range and run the Windows Phone operating system, although existing Android handsets will continue to be supported.
The move comes as Microsoft announced 18,000 job cuts across its workforce.
The tech firm acquired Nokia's handset division earlier this year.
Nokia unveiled its first family of Android phones at the Mobile World Conference in Barcelona in February The release of the smartphones, which were priced at the lower end of the market, was described as a "perplexing strategic move" at the time, given that Microsoft had its own mobile operating system, Windows Phone.
In an email to employees on Thursday, Stephen Elop, Microsoft's executive in charge of mobile devices, announced that Android handsets were being phased out.
"In the near term, we plan to drive Windows Phone volume by targeting the more affordable smartphone segments, which are the fastest-growing segments of the market, with Lumia.
"In addition to the portfolio already planned, we plan to deliver additional lower-cost Lumia devices by shifting select future Nokia X designs and products to Windows Phone devices.
"We expect to make this shift immediately while continuing to sell and support existing Nokia X products."

Microsoft had hoped the Nokia X would appeal to customers in emerging markets

Ben Wood, an analyst at CCS Insight, told the BBC the move was designed to drive sales of Microsoft's Lumia range, which has lagged behind handsets from competitors such as Apple and Samsung.
"Everybody was scratching their heads when the Android phones were unveiled in February," he said, adding that the decision had been made before Microsoft's takeover of Nokia.
However, Mr Wood said, phasing out the Android devices was a strategic decision, designed to "take the work Microsoft have done on the hardware [of Nokia X models] and drive the Lumia price points to much lower levels".

Windows Phone Store hits 300,000 apps, but still faces some old challenges

Microsoft's Windows Phone store has hit a new milestone for apps, but still faces some of the same old challenges.

According to Microsoft's "By the Numbers" website, the Windows Phone Store now has 300,000 apps, compared to 200,000 apps last December. WPCentral first spotted the updated figures on Microsoft's site. 

Microsoft heralded the 300,000 app achievement on its 'By the numbers' website.

Of course, most people don't need nearly that many apps—the average user relies on about two dozen per month, according to Nielsen—but a big app count increases the odds that you'll find exactly what you're looking for. On that front, Microsoft still has a long way to go compared to the more than 1 million apps available in iOS and Android's respective app stores.

Microsoft also has some bigger problems that aren't reflected in the numbers at all. The company has occasionally encouraged shovelware with cash incentives for app development and cookie-cutter app creation tools for non-developers. It has also angered some larger companies by repackaging their websites as native apps without permission (though Microsoft seems to have abandoned that practice).

And among bigger-name apps, the Windows Store sometimes struggles with quality, as developers treat the platform like an afterthought. New features that arrive on iOS or Android take much longer to show up on Windows Phone if they arrive at all, which means Windows Phone users can't snap videos in Yelp, listen to full songs in Shazam or use the free version of Spotify.

Still, Microsoft isn't throwing in the towel. Windows Phone recently added apps for Uber and Fitbit (though it's unclear what happened to Flipboard after it was announced last year). And with a renewed focus on low-end handsets, Microsoft is hoping a higher volume of new users will finally get developers interested in the platform.
