libxslt is an interesting attack surface; there are various places in which it is used to process untrusted stylesheets. This includes some browsers, although namespace issues seem to prevent the affected code from being reached in a browser context. Within libxslt itself, there are some built-in functions. These are usually a fruitful place to look for vulnerabilities, particularly those that take integers etc.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

By generating increasing numbers of transactions and volumes of information (data, documents, web content and records), information technologies have stimulated the generation of even more information and at a faster rate.

Alex Manchester interviewed me the other day for a Melcrum Internal Comms Hub article discussing SharePoint responding to a new report from Forrester. His article also contains a link to a SharePoint case study at BSI Group. I particularly like this quote: " Dellow's comments are supported by the Forrester research, which suggests you 'decide what role SharePoint will play to prevent unplanned demands. and user-generated chaos.

Geopolitical risk is now at the top of the agenda for CEOs. But tracking it can be difficult. The world is more interconnected than ever, whether in terms of economics and supply chains or technology and communication. Geopolitically, however, it is becoming increasingly fragmented – threatening the operations, financial well-being, and security of globally connected companies.

I haven't written anything other than blog posts for a quite a while, but this month I have a new article in the July/August edition of Image & Data Manager ( IDM ) magazine, titled So is the read/write web a friend or foe to information management? In this article I try to bring a bit of balance to concerns about Web 2.0 and issues around information security, privacy and records management.

On Tuesday I attended EMC Inform 2008 , my first event as a representative of IPP Consulting. I had been warned that the agenda was a little light on the business end of enterprise content management, however with the opportunity to hear a key note from EMC 's social software evangelist, Chuck Hollis , I thought it worth the effort. I ended up attending just two of the business stream sessions.

One of the liberating aspects of changing jobs is the idea of starting a fresh with a new email inbox. However, following Luis' lead I've been thinking if I might be able to minimise use of my new work inbox from the very start. I'm quite serious about this, as looking the stats for my work email over the last three years I'm seeing some scary numbers: In 2006 I sent and received 10 emails per day on average, in 2007 it was 18 emails per day on average but in 2008 its now 30 per day on average.

Looks like the marketing folks over at LinkedIn had the good wisdom to hire Lee and Sachi LeFever to make a LinkedIn video. Enjoy! I particularly like the emphasis on the idea that using LinkedIn isn’t just about building connections, but about actually getting business done. As LinkedIn expands functionality, expect to see more reinforcement of that concept.

Oh what a fun day I just had piecing together a few SSL changes for vsftpd! Let's start with a brief background on SSL. SSL provides not just secrecy but also integrity - an attacker cannot change your data stream in flight. This includes obviously changing data in the stream, and less obviously, truncating the stream. The interesting attack to truncate the stream is to fake a TCP packet with FIN set.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

This story is both interesting and boring at the same time. Boring because I didn't find anything new -- I just noted the applicability of something old to Apple's Safari. I've made sure to credit the finder of the old bug that applies to Safari; unfortunately not everyone in the security industry credits the original finder of the bug when noting it applies to a new context.
