Our team recently investigated and resolved three bugs reported by security researchers at Aarhus University (Denmark) in April 2017. The following bugs were fixed:
1. bcrypt login scheme memory leak - This leak happened only at setup and was a bug in the third-party library SpiderOak uses; this bug leaked memory to the server. We didn't validate the parameters set by the server, which allowed the SpiderOak server to weaken the strength of the password hashing. We patched the third-party library and validated the parameters to address this issue.
2. escrow/challenge - This bug only applied to end-users of the SpiderOak Groups product. It was discovered that an end-user could be unintentionally tricked by the client into revealing their password to the server. The design could also result in the client transmitting the user's password unencrypted. A lot of the problem here was confusion caused by poor wording on SpiderOak's end around Fingerprints, which could have caused a user to unintentionally reveal their password to SpiderOak. To address this bug, we now validate the keys and updated the confusing text in the application.
3. Remote Procedure Call (RPC) - The client exposed two unsafe RPC methods, which could've been used to extract a user's password. The client had an option to enable remote diagnostics through which an additional unsafe remote procedure could have been exposed. This is a feature that was never implemented on SpiderOak's server so we've removed the offending code from the client.
Each software is released under license type that can be found on program pages as well as on search or category pages. Here are the most common license types:
Freeware programs can be downloaded used free of charge and without any time limitations. Freeware products can be used free of charge for both personal and professional (commercial use).
Open Source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify or enhance. Programs released under this license can be used at no cost for both personal and commercial purposes. There are many different open source licenses but they all must comply with the Open Source Definition - in brief: the software can be freely used, modified and shared.
This license is commonly used for video games and it allows users to download and play the game for free. Basically, a product is offered Free to Play (Freemium) and the user can decide if he wants to pay the money (Premium) for additional features, services, virtual or physical goods that expand the functionality of the game. In some cases, ads may be show to the users.
Demo programs have a limited functionality for free, but charge for an advanced set of features or for the removal of advertisements from the program's interfaces. In some cases, all the functionality is disabled until the license is purchased. Demos are usually not time-limited (like Trial software) but the functionality is limited.
Trial software allows the user to evaluate the software for a limited amount of time. After that trial period (usually 15 to 90 days) the user can decide whether to buy the software or not. Even though, most trial software products are only time-limited some also have feature limitations.
Usually commercial software or games are produced for sale or to serve a commercial purpose.
To make sure your data and your privacy are safe, we at FileHorse check all software installation files each time a new one is uploaded to our servers or linked to remote server. Based on the checks we perform the software is categorized as follows:
This file has been scanned with VirusTotal using more than 70 different antivirus software products and no threats have been detected. It's very likely that this software is clean and safe for use.
There are some reports that this software is potentially malicious or may install other unwanted bundled software. These could be false positives and our users are advised to be careful while installing this software.
This software is no longer available for the download. This could be due to the program being discontinued, having a security issue or for other reasons.
