Potential Security Risk, Heartbleed Bug
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Information Services & Technology would like to inform you that earlier this week a serious bug in a common internet tool "OpenSSL" was discovered. This weakness dubbed The Heartbleed Bug, affects a large number of websites and systems on the Internet that use the secure/encrypted SSL protocol for communication (ie. pages that start with https). This tool is most often used when conducting e-commerce or exchanging private or personal information and is used at the University of Manitoba and across the globe. We are pleased to report that no major enterprise wide systems were affected by this vulnerability and that IST has patched, updated or otherwise minimized the risk on the few systems that were found vulnerable. However, we must caution everyone that sites you visit off campus may not be secure. System administrators around the globe are working to fix this issue. We urge you to use caution when using e-commerce sites unless the site has an official statement that they have fixed the issue, and then follow their guidelines. This may include changing the password that you use on those services. Please be extra cautious with unsolicited emails related to your personal or business accounts. Now is the perfect opportunity for an attacker to steal passwords or personal information through malicious web links or attachments. Always visit the account site directly and do not follow links in email that you cannot verify are legitimate. The University of Manitoba is not asking you to change any service passwords at this time. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Service Desk at 204-474-8600.

The Schedule of Final Exams for the April 2014 Exam series, including room and seat assignments, is now available online*. To find out when and where your exams have been scheduled, visit: Final Examinations<http://umanitoba.ca/student/records/finals/index.html>. Students may also use the new My Exams link in Aurora** to view their personal schedule of Fort Garry Campus exams. *Bannatyne campus students may visit their College office for exam schedules. **Aurora will be unavailable from 4:30pm Friday April 11th until Saturday April 12th. Please note: 1. Students are encouraged to review the exam schedule for: * Conflicts: If a conflict exists within the Schedule of Final Exams, you must notify the Registrar's Office immediately - this includes exams scheduled three-in-a-row (i.e. Monday evening, Tuesday morning and afternoon). * Changes: Check the schedule again before your exam dates for any changes. 2. Remember that students must remain available until all exam and test obligations are complete. Travel plans are not an acceptable reason for missing an exam. 3. Photo identification must be brought to the exam. Bring your Student Photo ID Card (preferred) or another piece of photo identification. 4. Exams and accompanying papers must be submitted prior to leaving the exam room. 5. Students who fall ill or otherwise become unable to complete their exam must report to the invigilator before leaving the exam room. 6. Changes were made to U of M Examination Regulations in Fall 2013. Some of these changes include: * Deferred Exams: o New 48-hour limit for deferred exam requests - requests must be received by the faculty/school office within 48-hours from the scheduled exam date. o Requests for a deferral after having attended an exam are granted only for specific situations in which a student is unexpectedly unable to complete their exam; students must speak to the exam invigilator prior to leaving the exam. * Exam conflict arrangements: o Arrangements made for exam conflicts due to specific athletic, academic or religious obligations are made in the students' faculty/school office, as per the Deferred Exam Procedure. These should be requested as soon as the conflict becomes known. * Personal belongings: o Unauthorized materials are not permitted in the exam room; students should bring with them only those items required for the exam that they are writing, and materials or devices permitted by their instructor. o All items brought with a student which are not required for the exam must be kept under their exam table - this includes coats and jackets, which are not to be placed on the back of chairs. o Students may not access the space beneath the exam table where their belongings are stored at any time during the exam. * For complete information on policy changes, visit: New Final Exams & Final Grades Policy<http://umanitoba.ca/student/records/examinationspolicy.html>.
