Release Notes: Security Analytics 7.1.6
Blue Coat Security Analytics Platform 7.1.6 is a minor release with various fixes and improvements.
Changes
•
When a sample is sent to multiple Blue Coat Malware Analysis Appliance (MAA) profiles, the sample is
submitted once, then tasks are created for each profile instead of sending multiple samples.
•
Samples sent in parallel to the MAA go to the SandBox first, then to the iVM queues if further analysis is
indicated.
•
The first result that is returned by an MAA profile is displayed, rather than waiting for all results to be
returned.
•
Android APK files can be sent to the MAA for detonation.
•
Support for endpoint analysis providers is included.
•
New File Type report: pattern-based detection to approximate the file type transmitted.
•
The Login Correlation Service supports Windows 2012 Server DC.
•
Signature-based scanning is enabled by default (and can be disabled in the GUI).
•
YARA rules for live exploits are available for Local File Analysis.
•
Artifacts can be extracted when application_id~unknown.
•
A new Protocol field is displayed in artifact entries.
•
A fix was included for the CVE-2014-1943 exploit.
•
The Summary screen was not displayed in IE9.
•
The Authentication settings page was taking too long to load in some circumstances.
•
Some reports were not being completed.
•
Invalid dates were being produced in deepsee_reports/index pivots.
Known Issues
•
In some extremely rare cases, *_verdict reports can show double the amount of data in the rows compared to
the total. To resolve the issue, run the report again.
•
Manual extractions (GUI-initiated) may sometimes crash during the cleanup phase of the canceled manual
extraction. This occurrence is noted in /var/log/messages.
•
You cannot create a valid protocol=ftp_data filter by right-clicking FTP Data on the GUI; instead, manually type
protocol=ftp_data in the advanced filter.
•
Data that is replayed from multiple interfaces may replay at a slower speed than selected.
•
If you are using Norman Shark as a third-party, on-demand integration provider and are experiencing issues
with its remote notifications, please contact support.
•
When pivoting to Security Analytics from the Malware Analysis Appliance (MAA), the timespan for the
Summary pages is set at five minutes before and after the task was created on the MAA. If the sample came
from a PCAP with older, retained timestamps or if the sample was submitted manually, the original data for
the sample is not displayed on the Summary pages. Manually selecting a timespan that corresponds to the
original capture date will retrieve the proper data.

document are the property of their respective owners.
Known Issues
•
Newly captured data is no longer indexed using packet-based attributes: packet_length,
ethernet_source(_vendors), ethernet_destination(_vendors). Beginning in version 7.1.5, these attributes are replaced
by ethernet_initiator(_vendors) and ethernet_responder(_vendors).
o Only data that was captured prior to version 7.1.5 will produce reports for the old attributes.
o
o
o
As a result, the Possible DNS Tunneling favorite is inoperable unless you remove the packet_length attribute
from the filter.
To enable packet-length indexing after upgrading to version 7.1.5, edit the /etc/init.d/solera-shaft file to
include -l (lower-case L) in the OPTIONS line, e.g., OPTIONS="-b -A -l"
To view the new Ethernet-related report widgets in the Ethernet Layer view on the Summary page, add
them manually by selecting Ethernet Layer from the view selector and then selecting Actions >
Add/Edit Widgets.
•
After you manually send a reputation request to a ThreatBLADE or an MAA, the result may be delayed for
several minutes during times when the data-enrichment process is experiencing low activity levels.
•
While importing a PCAP from the browser, it is recommended that you not click the blue progress indicator
to select another PCAP file to be imported. Such an action will prevent the PCAP downloads from
completing. The solution is to cancel the import and use separate browser windows to import multiple
PCAPs at once.

•
More than 2000 application signatures are now available.
Fixes
•
The estimated PCAP size was 0 when downloading the PCAP through a CMC.
•
Some LDAP groups were not available for role-based access control.
•
The sudoers file was not being parsed successfully after some upgrades.
•
The extractor was failing to detect and delete duplicate callbacks in reassembled TCP flows.
•
The system was automatically cleaning up files sent to MAA rather than allowing MAA to control cleanup.
•
Flows were timing out when packets' timestamps appeared out of order.
•
Data was missing in some reports.
•
Some unknown motherboards were not being properly identified.
Known Issues
Data-Enrichment Job Counts
When you upload the same PCAP more than once, the data-enrichment job count may be different each time
because of the state of the cache.
Authenticated Proxies
To configure the Security Analytics Platform to use an authenticated proxy, edit /etc/environment as follows:
http_proxy="http://<username>:<password>@<IP_address>:<port>"
https_proxy="http://<username>:<password>@<IP_address>:<port>"
If the proxy has a certificate handshake for SSL traffic, add the CA certificate (PEM format) as follows:
cp /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt.bak
openssl x509 -text -in <new_cacert>.crt >s> /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
openssl verify -CAfile /etc/pki/tls/certsca-bundle.crt <new_cacert>.crt

Release Notes: Security Analytics 7.1.3
Blue Coat Security Analytics Platform 7.1.3 supports GRE-encapsulated IPv4, IPv6, and WCCP traffic and provides
new reports and features to help detect the OpenSSL Heartbleed vulnerability (CVE-2014-0160).
GRE-Encapsulation Support
The following figure shows how GRE-encapsulated traffic appears on the Summary page in a customized view.
The endpoints of the GRE tunnel are displayed in the new Tunnel Initiator and Tunnel Responder report widgets. The
IPv4 Conversation report widget shows the IPv4 sessions that were encapsulated in the GRE tunnel. The IPv6
Conversation report widget would show any GRE-encapsulated IPv6 sessions.
The Extractions page displays the artifacts that passed through the GRE tunnel:

document are the property of their respective owners.
Heartbleed Vulnerability Detection
The following reports and their respective attributes can be used to detect attempts to exploit the Heartbleed
vulnerability (CVE-2014-0160).
•
TLS Heartbeat Mismatch (tls_heartbeat_mismatch) — Detects when the length of a heartbeat reply message is
not equal in length to a heartbeat request message.
•
TLS Heartbeat Attack Attempt (tls_heartbeat_attack_attempt) — Detects when the message length field in an
heartbeat request does not match the (D)TLS record-length field.
If encryption has been established before the heartbeat requests begin, tls_heartbeat_attack_attempt will not register a hit;
however, the attempt can still be detected by tls_hearbeat_mismatch even when the message is encrypted.
Note
•
SSL Serial Number (ssl_serial_number) — Displays the serial number (hex) of SSL certificates.
Retooled Data Reprocessing
Data that was captured prior to the release of 7.1.3 can be reprocessed (Capture > Actions > Reprocess) such that
the data is also reindexed. Such reprocessing will permit the Security Analytics Platform to detect TLS heartbeat
mismatches and attack attempts as well as list the SSL certificate serial numbers.
This combination of reindexing with the reprocessing function is a permanent addition to the platform.
A new Reprocessing Jobs page has also been added to the UI so that you can see the progress of reprocessing and
reindexing jobs. Select Capture > Actions > Reprocess to view the page and also to manually initiate reprocessing
jobs.
New WebPulse Mapping in the WebThreat BLADE
To reduce the number of alerts generated by the WebThreatBLADE, the categories that trigger alerts have been
limited to security risks. Socially and legally questionable categories no longer generate an alert. Removed category.

document are the property of their respective owners.
Known Issues
•
If you reprocess data that was captured before version 7.1.3, the tls_heartbeat_attack_attempt attribute will not
be applied to encrypted protocols such as SSH, ISAKMP, and IPSEC. Heartbleed attacks can still be detected
using the tls_heartbeat_mismatch attribute.
•
If you attempt to access the new Reprocessing Jobs page through a CMC, that page will not be visible on
the CMC. However, a reprocessing job that is manually initiated via the CMC will be created as before.
•
The file /etc/solera/meta/metapocrypha.json is not preserved during upgrade, so any customized metadata
(CustomAnalytics BLADE trial version) will be overwritten. Furthermore, the version of metapocrypha.json that is
installed with version 7.1.3 contains the three new attributes/reports, so merely saving the file and copying it
back after upgrade will erase the three new attributes. To address this issue, try these methods:
o
Use diff and patch (or another tool that is compatible with UNIX file formats) to compare your altered
metapocrypha.json with canonical-metapocrypha.json (same directory).

Prior to upgrade, back up both metapocrypha.json and canonical-metapocrypha.json.

After the upgrade, use the differential and patch tools to compare the backed-up metapocrypha.json
with the new canonical-metapocrypha.json and add your customizations while preserving the new
attributes.

Be sure to validate, verify, and test prior to copying the altered file to the upgraded appliance.
o
Manually add your customized attributes to the new metapocrypha.json.
o
Manually add the new 7.1.3 attributes to your backed-up metapocrypha.json:
"active tags" : [
…
"tag:ssl_serial_number",
…
],
"directories" : {
…
"ssl_serial_number" : { "columns" : [ "tag:ssl_serial_number" ] },

detonation or the process can be automated from either the Security Analytics Platform or the Blue Coat Content
Analysis System.
WebThreat BLADE
URL reputation and classifications powered by the Blue Coat Global Intelligence Network as well as analysis of
files transported over HTTP.
The WebThreat BLADE provides two reports that draw their verdicts from a local copy of the WebPulse
database. If WebPulse returns a verdict of 5 or higher (unknown through malicious) for an artifact, that artifact is
queried against the live, cloud-hosted Global Intelligence Network for evaluation.
§
§
•
Local File Analysis — HTTP-transported files are extracted and evaluated for known threats.
•
Local URL Analysis — URL threat level as calculated by a local copy of the WebPulse database.

•
For HTTP POSTs, the payload has a separate entry from the original POST and is displayed below it. The
payload artifact does not display an HTTP method or an HTTP response icon.
•
Click Show Payload to see a separate artifact entry for the payload.
User-Configurable File Classification
You can specify which method determines the file type of an artifact: Select [Account Name] > Preferences:
•
Artifact MIME-Type Display — Specify the method for the extractor to determine the file type:
o
MIME — Use the value in the Content-Type field of the HTTP or email header, else return unknown.
o
Magic — Use the embedded magic number or file signature, else return unknown.
o
Derived — If both MIME and magic values are present, use internal logic to determine the most likely file
type.
Easier Extraction Cancelation
Prior to this version, you could only Save and Stop or Save and Continue an extraction. Extractions can now
be canceled without having to save the extraction.
During an extraction, select Actions > Stop Extraction and wait until the status shows Canceled 100%. (The
percentage does not reflect how much data was extracted before stopping).
After the extraction has stopped you can select Actions > Save to save the data that was extracted before the
process was canceled. After you have saved the data, you may restart the extraction by selecting Actions >
Rerun.

Free User-Initiated Queries
In the absence of a WebThreat BLADE or FileThreat BLADE subscription, users can still see an artifact's
reputation from the Extractions page.
Click Reputation to manually request information on the artifact from common reputation providers. Users are
entitled to 1000 requests per month without charge.
Data Enrichment
File-Type Filter
To avoid sending every file type through data enrichment, you can now select which file types to send or omit.
File types to select on Settings > Data Enrichment include Adobe PDFs, archives, configuration files, downloads,
email, images, multimedia, office productivity, programs and libraries, web pages, and JavaScript.
Login Correlation Service
An updated version of the Login Correlation Service is available. Download the new version from Settings > Data
Enrichment and launch the installation to update an existing setup.
The new version number is visible after you launch SOLERA NETWORKS > DeepSee Login Correlation Service.
Syslog Facility Configuration
From the CLI, users can set up a many-to-many relationship among syslog servers and facilities. Prior to version 7.1,
multiple servers could be assigned to a single facility but not multiple facilities to one or more servers.
