Release of Log Injection Intelligence Report - 14 Feb 07

SIFT is proud to release a new Intelligence Report examining attacks against log files, demonstrating ways in which the integrity of log and audit trails can be compromised by a malicious user.

A log injection vulnerability occurs when a poorly-written program uses user-provided data to write to a system or application log without any security pre-processing. If an attacker controls this data they can then manipulate entries in the log for their purposes. Based on their level of knowledge of log format and content, this often results in the ability to add new entries and falsify events and actions.

Developers, analysts, architects, and testers working with logging systems are encouraged to review and implement the recommendations of this technical paper.
