Hello, welcome to the Thursday, May 27th, 2021 edition of the Sandcent Storm Center's Stormcast. My name is Johannes Ulrich.

And again, today, recording from Jacksonville, Florida, but teaching virtually in London, England.

In Diaries today, we got a quick one by Viging, who looked into trends in Bluetooth vulnerabilities.

It really felt like there were a lot of Bluetooth vulnerabilities sort of in the last couple

years, and well, Wiching is confirming that with his survey.

Of course, this coincides with a lot more use of Bluetooth in mobile devices.

E Ching here points out the COVID contact tracing apps, for example, over the last year,

which sort of again, focused more attention on Bluetooth security.

But in general, it's a little bit hard to sort of figure out what to take away from it.

It's certainly a target.

And it also gets more and more difficult to actually live without Bluetooth or turn it off in a mobile device, given that with

disappearing headphone jacks and such, Bluetooth becomes more important to actually use

the device itself. And Google today released Google Chrome 91, which fixes 32 different

security vulnerabilities.

Nothing outrageously dangerous, so I would just have Google Chrome do its job in updating itself,

maybe check in a couple days that the update actually happened.

Now, as announced back in April, Google Chrome also now discontinues the use of

port 10,080. This port has been found vulnerable to slip streaming because some application

layer gateways are using port 10,080. We'll have to see how that entire situation involves.

There appears to be a little bit whack the mole game here

with more and more ports being blocked in order to protect certain application layer gateways.

Port 10,080 is reserved for Amanda backup by Ianna, but it's also used by V-Center. So those are
