최근 급증하고 있는 시스템에 존재하는 취약성을 이용한 공격들의 경우, 관련된 보안 패치를 설치함으로써 대처할 수 있다. 그러나, 기업이나 공공기관과 같이 대규모 네트워크를 형성하고 있는 곳에서 패치 설치 작업을 각각의 개인에게 믿고 맡기는 것은 매우 수동적인 자세로서, 지금까지의 보안침해 사고 현황에서도 알 수 있듯이 매우 위험한 발상이다. 따라서, 조직의 중앙에서 능동적으로 각각의 시스템의 보안패치 설치 현황을 파악하고, 필요한 경우 적절한 조치를 취하는 것이 보다 바람직한 대처방안이라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 XML을 이용하여 중앙에서 클라이언트의 보안패치 설치 현황을 일괄적으로 관리할 수 있는 '보안패치 중앙 관리 시스템'을 제안한다.

In a Linux system, a user with malicious intent can acquire administrator privileges through attack types that execute shells, and can leak important user information and install backdoor program. In order to solve this problem, the existing method is to analyze the causes of the elevation of privilege, fix the problems, and then patch the system. Recently, a method of detecting an illegal elevated tasks in which information inconsistency occurs through user credentials in real time has been studied. However, since this credential method uses uid and gid, illegal elevated tasks having the root credentials may not be detected. In this paper, we propose a security module that stores shell commands and paths executed with regular privileges in a table and compares them with every file accesses (open, close, read, write) that are executed to solve the case which cannot detect illegal elevated tasks have same credential.

Industrial control systems (ICS) are increasingly targeted by security incidents as attackers' knowledge of ICS characteristics grows and their connectivity to information technology expands. Vulnerabilities related to ICS are growing rapidly, but patching all vulnerabilities in a timely manner is challenging. The common vulnerability assessment system used to patch vulnerabilities has limitations as it does not consider weaponization after discovery. To address this, this study defines criteria for classifying attacker skill levels based on open information including operating technology and vulnerability information in ICS. The study also proposes a method to evaluate vulnerability severity that reflects actual risk and urgency by incorporating the corresponding attribute in the existing severity score calculation. Case studies based on actual accidents involving vulnerabilities were conducted to confirm the effectiveness of the evaluation method in the ICS environment.

The purpose of this paper is to suggest the improving plans about the system as searching an effective managing devices for NEIS with analysis of managing condition. For the plans, questionnaire was performed in the five sections to primary and secondary school teachers. Those were recognition about C/S, Introduction and conductive processing of NEIS, Satisfaction of specific task on school affairs and educational matters, its function, efficiency and security as well as technical problem. Those were recognition about C/S, Introduction and conductive processing of NEIS, Satisfaction of specific task on school affairs and educational matters, its function, efficiency and security as well as technical problem. The results are following: First. in spite of satisfaction with function of C/S, it have been some problems such as frequent patch and down of server. Secondly, although the introduction of NEIS was done in hurry without gathering teachers' opinions and sufficient research of system, it has been expected to settle down normally with correction and security. Thirdly, positive reaction was generally showed in research on satisfaction of specific task for school affairs and educational matters. Fourthly, most of teachers have known the functions of NEIS and recognized its convenience. Although they has not thought it reduced their work, they have realized it's convenient for dealing with statistics. Lastly, they think of NEIS as the essential system for the age of information, in spite of problems such as reveal of personal data and security. Therefore, we should keep eyes to problem of an invasion of human right. In addition, study deep into NEIS should be conducted with consistent security for the system. In order to it. technical and legal system should be carried out side by side.

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are widely used protocols for secure and encrypted communication over a computer network. However, there have been reported several security vulnerabilities of SSL/TLS over the years. The vulnerabilities can let an adversary carry out critical attacks on SSL/TLS enabled servers. In this paper, we have developed a system which can periodically scan SSL/TLS vulnerabilities on internal network servers and quickly detects, reports and visualizes the vulnerabilities. We have evaluated the system on working servers of Naver services and analyzed detected vulnerabilities. 816 vulnerabilities are found on 213 internal server domains (4.2 vulnerabilities on average) and most vulnerable servers are not opened to public. However, 46 server domains have old vulnerabilites which were found 2016. We could patch and response to SSL/TLS vulnerabilites of servers by leveraging the proposed system.

The majority of recent intrusions reveal that the attackers do not use the previous intrusion techniques or network flaw, rather they tend to use the vulnerabilities residing inside the program, which are the running programs on the system or the processes for the service. Therefore, the security managers must focus on updating the programs with lots of time and efforts. Developers also need to patch continuously to update the program, which is a lot of burden for them. In order to solve the problem, we need to understand the vulnerabilities in the program, which has been studied for some time. And also we need to analyze the functions that contains some vulnerabilities inside. In this paper, we first analyzed the vulnerabilities of the standard C library, and Win32 API functions used in various programs. And then we described the design and implementation of the automated scanning tool for writing secure source code based on the analysis.

NAC(Network Access Control) has been developed as a solution for the security of end-point user, to be a target computer of worm attack which does not use security patch of OS and install Anti-Virus, which spreads the viruses in the Intra-net. Currently the NAC products in market have a sufficient technology of pre-connect, but insufficient one of post-connect which detects the threats after the connect through regular authentication. Therefore NAC users have been suffered from Zero-day attacks and malware infection. In this paper, to solve the problems in the post-connect step we generate the normal behavior profiles using the traffic information of each host, host information through agent, information of open port and network configuration modification through network scanner addition to authentication of host and inspection of policy violation used before. Based on these we propose the system to detect the hosts infected malware.

Spring framework is widely used as a base technology for e-government frameworks and to the extent it is a standard for web service development tools of Korean public institutions. However, recently, a remote code execution vulnerability(CVE-2018-1270) was found in an application using a spring framework. This paper proposes a method of analyzing the vulnerability experiment using a hacking scenario, Proof Of Concept(POC), in which the spring framework is a hazard to the server. We propose the patch to version 4.3.16 and version 5.0.5 or later as an ultimate response. It is also expected that the proposed experiment analysis on vulnerability of hacking scenario will be used as a data for improving performance of security programs and establishing a new authentication system.
