Mideye - NPS RADIUS stops working after KB5040437 update

2024-10-02 12:00

This affects customers using MS-CHAPv2 (not PAP). After the KB5040437 security upgrade, the RADIUS communication between MS NPS and Mideye stops working for older versions of the Mideye server (releases up to and including 6.4.2). The problem was initially addressed in Mideye server releases 6.4.3 and 6.4.4. An additional fix to also handle the RADIUS challenge-response dialog is introduced in 6.4.5. Customers are recommended to postpone deployment of KB5040437 in the NPS until the Mideye server has been updated to 6.4.5.

Update Telenor Sweden SMS problems

2023-01-23 10:30

Telenor still seems to have some consequential problems with the SMS-service affecting some users. For users that experience login problems due to SMS delays, we recommend the following:

  • A phone re-start (power off – power on).
  • Try activation of Mideye+: Instructions
  • In the phone settings -> Internet settings -> operator settings: try to change the preference between GSM/3G/4G/5G networks, as the problem seems to be related to which network generation the phone is using.

Updated 2023-02-15 10:00

Telenor report that approximately 5% of text messages sent to users of Telenor Sweden’s network between 10:45-20:36 CET during the incident 2023-01-20 were delivered to a different number than intended. For more information about the incident, see https://telenor.se/felskickade-sms

During the incident, SMS-OTPs were not delivered within our required time window, but Mideye+ activations were in some cases successful (Mideye+ activation allows for SMS delays up to 5 minutes). For security reasons, Mideye+ apps that were activated during the incident have been revoked, and affected users have been informed.

Apache Log4j CVE-2022-23307 vulnerability

2022-01-31 13:00

The vulnerability affects Log4j 1.2.x using the Chainsaw component. Mideye server R4.7.2 uses Log4j 1.2.17, but Chainsaw is not enabled by default and cannot be enabled via the Mideye Configuration Tool. Customers are strongly advised not to enable and use Chainsaw on the Mideye server platform. Also, customers still running Mideye R4 are recommended to upgrade to the latest Mideye server release (R5.6.4 at the time of this alert).

Apache Log4j CVE-2021-44228 vulnerability

2021-12-16 10:47

  • Mideye Server 4 releases use Log4j 1.x, not the 2.x version that has the vulnerability. The latest Mideye R4 version (4.7.2) has been tested with malicious code insertion, and we have not been able to detect any vulnerability.

  • Mideye Server 5 releases use Logback per default, which is unrelated to log4j 2.x and does not share its vulnerabilities (http://logback.qos.ch/). In R5.6.3, all Log4j2 dependencies are removed from classpaths. This blocks the possibility to manually modify the installation package and enable Log4j instead of the default logging framework (Logback).

  • MobileID server (any release) is based on C language code, not Java, and per default Java and Log4j is not installed on MobileID platforms. We have tested MobileID with malicious code inserts that reveal Log4j vulnerabilities, but have not been able to detect any anomalies.

  • Mideye central and internal systems are undergoing review, so far no vulnerability has been revealed.

2020-12-01 08:39

Flash/pop-up SMS presented as inbox SMS in iOS 14

2020-10-14 00:00

With iPhone iOS 14, flash/pop-up text messages are presented as ordinary inbox messages when the screen is locked. Users that are used to receiving flash/pop-up SMS-OTPs also when the screen is locked will notice a change when updating to iOS 14. This is a built-in behaviour in iOS and we are currently not aware of any workaround.

SMS disturbance in +46/Sweden 2020-09-01 (Closed)

2020-09-02 10:55

Starting 2020-09-01 11:14 there was a network disturbance affecting SMS-OTP deliveries to many +46/Sweden subscribers. Ordinary phone-to-phone SMS traffic was also affected. From 12:06, SMS-OTP service was back for the majority of affected users, but as a workaround OTP traffic to most +46/SE numbers (also those not affected by the original problem) was changed to inbox-SMS instead of the usual flash/pop-up. From 2020-09-02 10:30, all traffic is back to the original defaults with flash/pop-up. For any users still experiencing problems, a phone re-start is recommended. If this does not help, contact Mideye Support.
