    eEye Auto-Update Feature

         Here is an interesting feature that has existed in Blink.  For anyone that did not know, AFTER you do an manual update of Blink and it completes, you are left with the "Update Summary" window showing the final status of the updates.  If you select one of them and then click on the Details button in the lower right of the screen, you will see information regarding what the update included in it.  Not a lot is shown for the Antivirus Engine when it updates, but if you receive an update for the Blink portion, the output is quite interesting.

         After doing an manual update on my Blink Server Edition, I noted the following bit of information for the Blink module after clicking on the Details button:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    RELEASE NOTES FOR APPLICATION: BlinkServer VERSION: 4.3.2
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SECTION: Rules        VERSION: 1533

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Removed a false positive.

    SECTION: Audits        VERSION: 2108

    add       9070 - Mozilla Firefox 3.5.0 Multiple Vulnerabilities (Zero-Day) - Windows
    add       9071 - Mozilla Firefox 3.5.0 Multiple Vulnerabilities (Zero-Day) - UNIX/Linux
    add       9072 - Mozilla Firefox 3.5.0 Multiple Vulnerabilities (Zero-Day) - Mac OS X
    add       9073 - Sun Java JDK/JRE XML Signature HMAC Truncation Bypass (Zero-Day) - Windows
    add       9074 - Sun Java JDK/JRE XML Signature HMAC Truncation Bypass (Zero-Day) - Linux
    add       9075 - Sun Java JDK/JRE XML Signature HMAC Truncation Bypass (Zero-Day) - Solaris

     

    I have noticed a lot of times you will find out about new Zero Days (that you did not know existed) from eEye.  Pretty neat simple trick.  Keep in mind though, you must do this right after you update Blink.  If you close the window and come back in again and attempt to use the Details button, nothing will be available to look at anymore.
