It seems everything electronic these days is vulnerable to exploitation. And even though I'm on vacation, such vulnerabilities can't be ignored.Thanks to Tim Heagarty CISSP, MCSE for pointing out that our new Axis Network Camera was vulnerable in a nasty way. Seems that you could get around the HTTP Basic authentication and do things like change the administrative password on us. But thanks to Tim, I patched the Axis last night and all seems well.A new firmware upgrade was called for, and I have to say that Axis makes this a simple process. Simply ftp the new firmware to the device and, if you give it the right name, it automatically upgrades itself. Sweet.
