MD5 Password Security Update Deployed
by Denis Walker 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

Dear colleagues, [Apologies for duplicate emails.] The RIPE NCC is pleased to announce that the implementation of the MD5 password security change has now been fully deployed. This was discussed recently on the RIPE Database Working Group mailing list. The RIPE NCC was asked to implement the technical change as outlined in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/denis/securing-md5-hashes-in-the-ripe-database This deployment has an impact only when you modify a MNTNER object that contains an MD5 password. This can only be done using Webupdates. You must be one of the password holders to make changes. Operations on all other object types are unchanged. The RIPE NCC will now: - Send emails to contact addresses in all MNTNER objects containing MD5 passwords recommending a password change and suggesting that a strong password be used - Perform a small MNTNER clean-up by preparing a list of unreferenced MNTNER objects and deleting those that are still unreferenced one month later. If you have not followed this discussion, we recommend that you read the RIPE Labs article to ensure that you understand the new process for maintaining MNTNER objects in the RIPE Database. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group

LIR Portal Security Advisory
by Alex Band 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

Dear colleagues, There is currently a security issue with the RIPE NCC Access sign-on system when used in combination with the LIR Portal. The issue relates to previous login credentials being applied to current users. There is therefore a small chance that a user will arrive at a previous user's login session. The issue only occurs when the same machine and the same browser session is used to log in to the LIR Portal. In the meantime, to ensure this issue does not occur, please quit your browser after logging out of the LIR Portal. We will notify you as soon as the issue is resolved. Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC
