Original release date: July 31, 2017

The US-CERT Cyber Security Bulletin provides a summary of new vulnerabilities that have been recorded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Vulnerability Database (NVD) in the past week. The NVD is sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) / United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT). For modified or updated entries, please visit the NVD, which contains historical vulnerability information.
The vulnerabilities are based on the CVE vulnerability naming standard and are organized according to severity, determined by the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) standard. The division of high, medium, and low severities correspond to the following scores:

·         High - Vulnerabilities will be labeled High severity if they have a CVSS base score of 7.0 - 10.0

·         Medium - Vulnerabilities will be labeled Medium severity if they have a CVSS base score of 4.0 - 6.9

cmdlet

A cmdlet (pronounced "command-let") is a lightweight Windows PowerShell script that performs a single function. A command, in this context, is a specific order from a user to the computer's operating system or to an application to perform a service, such as "Show me all my files" or "Run this program for me." Although Windows PowerShell includes more than two hundred basic core cmdlets, administrators can also write their own cmdlets and share them. A cmdlet, which is expressed as a verb-noun pair, has a .ps1 extension. Each cmdlet has a help file that can be accessed by typing Get-Help <cmdlet-Name> -Detailed. The detailed view of the cmdlet help file includes a description of the cmdlet, the command syntax, descriptions of the parameters and an example that demonstrate use of the cmdlet. Popular basic cmdlets include: Cmdlet Function  Get-Location  get the current directory  Set-Location  change the current directory  Copy-Item  copy files  Remove-Item  remove a file or directory  Move-Item  move a file  Rename-Item  rename a file  New-Item  create a new empty file or directory

Tabula Rosa Systems Blog Of 8/1/2017 - The Function of the Prefix

From www.thoughtco.com

by Richard Nordquist

Updated May 05, 2017

In English grammar and morphology, a prefix is a letter or group of letters attached to the beginning of a word that partly indicates its meaning, including such as examples as "anti-" to mean against, "co-" to mean with, "mis-" to mean wrong or bad, and "trans-" to mean across.

The most common prefixes in English are those that express negation like "a-" in the word asexual, "in-" in the word incapable, and "un-" in the word unhappy — these negations immediately alter the meaning of the words the are added to, but some prefixes merely change the form.

Interestingly enough, the word prefix itself contains the prefix "pre-" which means before and the root word fix which means to fasten or place, thus the word itself means "to place before." letter groups attached to the ends of words, conversely, are called suffixes while both belong to the larger group of morphemes known as affixes. 

Prefixes are bound morphemes, which means they can't stand alone. Generally, if a group of letters is a prefix, it can't also be a word. However, prefixation, or the process of adding a prefix to a word, is a common way of forming new words in English.

General Rules and Exceptions to Them

Although there are several common prefixes in English, not all usage rules apply universally, at least in terms of definition. For instance, the prefix "sub-" can either mean "something below" the root word or that the root word is "below something."

James J. Hurford argues in "Grammer: A Student's Guide" that "there are many words in English which look as if they begin with a familiar prefix, but in which it is not clear what meaning to attach either to the prefix or to the remainder of the word, in order to arrive at the meaning of the whole word." Essentially, this means that sweeping rules about prefixes like "ex-" in exercise and excommunicate cannot be applied.

However, there are still some general rules that do apply to all prefixes, namely that they are typically set as part of the new word, with hyphens only appearing in the case of the base word starting with a capital letter or the same vowel that the prefix ends with. In "The Cambridge Guide to English Usage" by Pam Peters, though, the author does posit that "in well-established cases of this type, the hyphen becomes optional, as with cooperate."

Nano-, Dis-, Mis- and Other Oddities

Technology especially utilizes prefixes as our technological and computer worlds get smaller and smaller. Alex Boese notes in the 2008 Smithsonian article "Electrocybertronics," that "lately the prefix trend has been shrinking; during the 1980s, 'mini-' gave way to 'micro-,' which yielded to 'nano'" and that these units of measurement have since transcended their original meaning.

In a similar way, the prefixes "dis-" and "mis-" have come to slightly transcend their original intent. Still, James Kilpatrick claims in his 2007 article "To 'dis,' or Not to 'dis,'" that there are 152 "dis-" words and 161 "mis-" words in contemporary lexicography. However, many of these are never spoken like the word "misact," which starts the "mis- list," as he calls it.

The prefix "pre-" also has a bit of confusion in modern vernacular. George Carlin famously jokes about the everyday occurrence at the airport called "pre-boarding." According to the standard definition of the prefix, "preboarding" should meaning before boarding, but as Carlin puts it "What does it mean to pre-board? Do you get on [a plane] before you get on?"

Tabula Rosa Systems Blog Of 7/30/2017 - What is an Echo Word?

What is an Echo Word?

by Richard Nordquist

Updated April 09, 2017

In linguistics and composition, the term echo word has more than one meaning:

1. An echo word is a word or phrase (such as buzz and cock a doodle doo) that imitates the sound associated with the object or action it refers to: an onomatope. Also called an echoic word. 
2. An echo word is a word or phrase (such as shilly shally and click and clack) that contains two identical or very similar parts: a reduplicative.

1. An echo word is a word or phrase that recurs in a sentence or paragraph.

Examples and Observations (#1 and #2)

• "Sound alone is the basis of a limited number of words, called echoic or onomatopoeic, like bang, burp, splash, tinkle, bobwhite, and cuckoo. Words that are actually imitative of sound, like meow, bowwow, and vroom--though these differ from language to language--can be distinguished from those like bump and flick, which are called symbolic. Symbolic words regularly come in sets that rime (bump, lump, clump, hump) or alliterate (flick, flash, flip, flop) and derive their symbolic meaning at least in part from other members of their sound-alike sets. Both imitative and symbolic words frequently show doubling, sometimes with slight variation, as in bowwow, choo-choo, and pe(e)wee."
  (John Algeo and Thomas Pyles, The Origins and Development of the English Language, 5th ed. Thomson Wadsworth, 2005)

Examples and Observations (#3)

• "Repetitions help to echo key words, to emphasize important ideas or main points, to unify sentences, or to develop coherence among sentences. Skillful repetitions of important words or phrases create 'echoes' in the reader's mind: they emphasize and point out key ideas. You can use these 'echo words' in different sentences--even in different paragraphs--to help 'hook' your ideas together. . . .

• "[E]cho words may come any place in the sentence: with the subjects or the verbs, with the objects or the complements, with prepositions or other parts of speech. You need not always repeat the word exactly; think of other forms the word may take, such as freak, freakiness, freakishness (nouns), freaking (participle), freaky and freakish (adjectives), and freakishly and freakily (adverbs)." (Ann Longknife and K. D. Sullivan, The Art of Styling Sentences, 4th ed. Barron's, 2002)

Echo-Pairs 

• "Echo-words are crucially different from straight reduplicated words in that they have rules sensitive to the reduplicated configuration, 'detaching melodic elements from the affixal skeleton' and replacing them with an invariant onset (McCarthy and Prince 1986, 86). This accounts for the ban on auto-reduplication of echo-words themselves. Yiddishized English shm-initial words undergoing echo-pairing (such as shmaltz) have to be echo-paired with something else (usuall shp-: shpaltz) or else with nothing (no echo-pair can be formed), but certainly not with a direct repeat (**shmaltz-shmaltz is disallowed)." ( Mark R. V. Southern, Contagious Couplings: Transmission of Expressives in Yiddish Echo Phrases. Praeger, 2005)
