Nokia Asha 502 and Asha 503 to be available in India this month

<div dir="ltr">The Nokia Asha 502 Dual SIM and Asha 503 - unveiled at the Nokia   event in Abu Dhabi - are all set to go on sale in select markets   including India. Both devices will reportedly be available through   online retailers and Nokia retail outlets within a week. However, except   <a href="http://www.saholic.com/mobile-phones/nokia-asha-502-dual-sim-1008583" target="_blank">Saholic</a>   currently none of the Indian retail sites have listed them. The   e-retailer has listed only the Dual SIM Asha 502 and not he 503, but   hasn't mentioned the pricing or availability.   <p>Based on pricing of previous Asha phones as well as keeping the   mind the specs of the two feature phones, we expect them to be priced   under Rs 10,000.   </p><h3 class="">ALSO SEE <a href="http://ibnlive.in.com/news/nokia-asha-500-asha-502-asha-503-launched-at-69-onwards/429816-11.html">Nokia Asha 500, Asha 502, Asha 503 launched at $69 onwards</a></h3><p>At   the event held in October, Nokia had announced the Asha 502 for $89   that amounts to approximately Rs 5,400, and the Asha 503 for $99 that is   approximately Rs 6,000.

Microsoft Leans to Mulally, Nadella in CEO Search

Chief Executive Officer Alan   Mulally and internal executive Satya Nadella as part of a group of more   likely candidates to become the next CEO of the world's biggest software   company, according to people familiar with the matter. </p> <p>While   internal candidate Tony Bates and former Nokia Oyj CEO Stephen Elop   remain in the mix, they're currently considered less likely to be   offered the job, said the people, who asked not to be identified because   the deliberations are private. Preferences remain fluid and other   people are being considered and could emerge as front-runners, said one   of the people, without identifying any. </p> <p>The board is aiming for a   quick replacement for longtime CEO Steve Ballmer, who said in August   that he will retire within the next 12 months. The Redmond,   Washington-based company has seen its software leadership decline amid a   shrinking of the personal-computer market, which was its core business.   Microsoft is shifting strategy to focus more on hardware and   Internet-based services and away from its software roots as it competes   with Apple Inc. and Google Inc. </p> <p>Frank Shaw, a spokesman at   Microsoft, declined to comment or to make any executives available   yesterday. Susan Sheehan, a spokeswoman for Nokia, which is still Elop's   employer, declined to comment. </p> <p>"There is no change from what we   announced last November," said Jay Cooney, a spokesman at Ford. "Alan   remains completely focused on executing our One Ford plan. We do not   engage in speculation." </p> <h2>Board Meeting </h2> <p>The board met on   Nov. 18 about the CEO search, Microsoft chairman and co-founder Bill   Gates said at a shareholder meeting last week. Gates said he and other   directors have met with "a lot of CEO candidates." He declined to give a   timeline for the decision, adding that "it's a complex role to fill." </p> <p>Ballmer   was all smiles at the shareholder event, calling it a "fun meeting,"   compared with the teary goodbye message he gave to employees at an   internal companywide meeting in September. </p> <p>The board is aiming   to have a CEO decision this year, though an announcement could be pushed   back until early next year, said one of the people with knowledge of   the matter. </p> <p>A document prepared by the board for the CEO search   describes the ideal candidate as one who has an "extensive track record   in managing complex, global organizations within a fast-paced and highly   competitive market sector; track record of delivering top and bottom   line results. Proven ability to lead a multi-billion dollar organization   and large employee base," people with knowledge of the document have   said. </p></div>

New Linux worm targets routers, cameras, “Internet of things” devices

<div dir="ltr"><h2 class="">Too many Internet-connected devices run code that's woefully out of date.</h2><br><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrckraQDiLM4YSnKbGtBwrbGYmW0ogG9DrOwB-aL79MzrKqUBru9GiIHUU9_NA729SdIWW4SPVr2aUmeUIzjpwyY8hre_aFJTs-BJeFy73ghNuCx-WN7BFCrs6PMqbFrrYCHjRWRjjULY_/s1600/router-password-778665.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5952444477435900370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrckraQDiLM4YSnKbGtBwrbGYmW0ogG9DrOwB-aL79MzrKqUBru9GiIHUU9_NA729SdIWW4SPVr2aUmeUIzjpwyY8hre_aFJTs-BJeFy73ghNuCx-WN7BFCrs6PMqbFrrYCHjRWRjjULY_/s320/router-password-778665.jpg" /></a><br><p>Researchers have discovered a Linux worm capable of infecting a wide   range of home routers, set-top boxes, security cameras, and other   consumer devices that are increasingly equipped with an Internet   connection.</p>  <p><a href="http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2013-112710-1612-99">Linux.Darlloz</a>,   as the worm has been dubbed, is now classified as a low-level threat,   partly because its current version targets only devices that run on CPUs   made by Intel, Symantec researcher Kaoru Hayashi wrote in a <a href="http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/linux-worm-targeting-hidden-devices">blog post published Wednesday</a>. But with a minor modification, the malware could begin using variants that incorporate already available <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_and_Linkable_Format">executable and linkable format</a>   (ELF) files that infect a much wider range of "Internet-of-things"   devices, including those that run chips made by ARM and those that use   the PPC, MIPS, and MIPSEL architectures.</p>  <p>"Upon execution, the worm generates IP addresses randomly, accesses a   specific path on the machine with well-known ID and passwords, and   sends HTTP POST requests, which exploit the vulnerability," Hayashi   explained. "If the target is unpatched, it downloads the worm from a   malicious server and starts searching for its next target. Currently,   the worm seems to infect only Intel x86 systems, because the downloaded   URL in the exploit code is hard-coded to the ELF binary for Intel   architectures."</p>  <p>The researcher went on to say the attacker behind the Intel version   is also hosting ELF files that exploit the other chip architectures.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju1BLY3vv7IkBDSSq4mSm21g8_NzZkAd2uE640l3SqVqBNJqV7sR0Bo2TZL_FdUMExiQi8pj0bgSjMvQZZgSmvPiFiHrojn0fUmq_gU4S5usGoPWhtBb4HSXCwwQhkjvlMWB0cugtS_npR/s1600/2-780995.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5952444487369093650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju1BLY3vv7IkBDSSq4mSm21g8_NzZkAd2uE640l3SqVqBNJqV7sR0Bo2TZL_FdUMExiQi8pj0bgSjMvQZZgSmvPiFiHrojn0fUmq_gU4S5usGoPWhtBb4HSXCwwQhkjvlMWB0cugtS_npR/s320/2-780995.png" /></a><br></p><h2>Out of date</h2>  <p>While not posing much of a real-world threat now, Darlloz   demonstrates a major shortcoming with most Internet-of-things devices   available today—they typically run Linux or other types of open source   code that are woefully out of date. Making matters worse, many   Internet-connected consumer devices can't be updated because their   lightweight hardware can't handle the requirements of newer code   versions. Hijacking one of these devices thus becomes much easier than   exploiting, say, an up-to-date version of Windows, OS X, or Linux.</p>  <p>Darlloz exploits a <a href="http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/53388">vulnerability in the PHP scripting language</a>   that was patched 18 months ago. Devices that use older versions of PHP   to provide a Web-based interface to make configuration changes may be   vulnerable to the attack. With minor modifications, the worm could   potentially be reprogrammed to exploit dozens of patched vulnerabilities   that still haven't made their way into most consumer devices.</p>  <p>Readers who want to tighten the security of their routers and other   devices should consider doing research ahead of purchases and buying   only gear that can be updated easily. For existing devices, update to   the latest available version, change default passwords, and block   incoming POST requests and other types of HTTP calls if at all possible.</p><br></div>

If the messages aren't promptly dismissed, it   opens the phones up for attack. Alecu plans to present his findings   Friday at the DefCamp security conference in Bucharest, Romania. <br></p><p>  One of the problems Nexus users face is that they won't be automatically   alerted with an audio tone when a Flash SMS message is received, which   could allow an attacker to send a lot of them quickly before they're   noticed or dismissed, PC World reports.  </p><p> According to Alecu, the SMS overload can result in several   issues, including the phone rebooting, which is the most likely outcome.   In that case, if a PIN is required to unlock the SIM card, the phone   won't connect to the network after rebooting. Another problem that can   occur is that the messaging app crashes, but the system then   automatically restarts it.  </p><p> Alecu told PC World that while the issue appears to affect the latest Nexus smartphones running  <a href="http://www.cnet.com/android-atlas/"> Android</a> versions Ice Cream Sandwich through KitKat, it hasn't worked on other phones he's tested.  </p><p>  We've reached out to Google for comment on how the company plans to   address the issue and will update this post when we learn more. Alecu   told PC World that he reported the issue to Google, but that it hasn't   yet been addressed.  </p><br></div>
