HCSEC testers had previously flagged up problems with not knowing whether the binaries they were inspecting for Chinese government backdoors were compilable into firmware equivalent to what was deployed in live production environments. Essentially, the concern is that software would behave differently when installed in the UK&#8217;s telecoms networks than it did during HCSEC&#8217;s tests.<\/p>\n<p>In today&#8217;s report, the Banbury centre team said: &#8220;Work to validate them by HCSEC is still ongoing but has already exposed wider flaws in the underlying build process which need to be rectified before binary equivalence can be demonstrated at scale.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote\" readability=\"6\">\n<p>Unless and until this is done it is not possible to be confident that the source code examined by HCSEC is precisely that used to build the binaries running in the UK networks.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>HCSEC also highlighted something <em>The Register<\/em> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/03\/28\/huawei_mirai_router_vulnerability\/\">exclusively revealed precise details of this morning<\/a>, saying: &#8220;It is difficult to be confident that vulnerabilities discovered in one build are remediated in another build through the normal operation of a sustained engineering process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It also criticised Huawei&#8217;s &#8220;configuration management improvements&#8221;, pointing out that these haven&#8217;t been &#8220;universally applied&#8221; across product and platform development groups. Huawei&#8217;s use of &#8220;an old and soon-to-be out of mainstream support version&#8221; of an unnamed real time operating system (RTOS) &#8220;supplied by a third party&#8221; was treated to some HCSEC criticism, even though Huawei bought extended support from the RTOS&#8217;s vendor.<\/p>\n<p>HCSEC said: &#8220;The underlying cyber security risks brought about by the single memory space, single user context security model remain,&#8221; warning that Huawei has &#8220;no credible plan to reduce the risk in the UK of this real time operating system.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>Hygiene, that&#8217;s something you do in the shower with soap\u2026 right?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>OpenSSL is used extensively by Huawei \u2013 and in HCSEC&#8217;s view perhaps too extensively:<\/p>\n<p>Even after HCSEC threw a wobbly and told Huawei to sort itself out pronto, the Chinese company still came back with software containing &#8220;code that is vulnerable to 10 publicly disclosed OpenSSL vulnerabilities, some dating back to 2006.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Huawei also struggles to stick to its own secure coding guidelines\u2019 rules on memory handling functions, as HCSEC lamented:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This sort of redefinition makes it harder for developers to make good security choices and the job of any code auditor exceptionally hard,&#8221; said the government reviewers.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement issued this morning Huawei appeared not to be overly bothered about these and the other detailed flaws revealed by NCSC, saying that it &#8220;understands these concerns and takes them very seriously&#8221;. It added: &#8220;A high-level plan for the <em>[software development transformation]<\/em> programme has been developed and we will continue to work with UK operators and the NCSC during its implementation to meet the requirements created as cloud, digitization, and software-defined everything become more prevalent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the NCSC&#8217;s vital conclusion that none of these cockups were the fault of the Chinese state\u2019s intelligence-gathering organs, Rob Pritchard of the Cyber Security Expert told <em>The Register<\/em>: &#8220;I think this presents the UK government with an interesting dilemma &#8211; the HCSEC was set up essentially because of concerns about threats from the Chinese state to UK CNI (critical national infrastructure). Finding general issues is a good thing, but other vendors are not subject to this level of scrutiny. We have no real (at least not this in depth) assurance that products from rival vendors are more secure.&#8221; \u00ae<\/p>\n<p class=\"wptl btm\"><span>Sponsored:<\/span> <a
