A 26-year-old man in Ontario, Canada has been arrested for allegedly stealing data from and extorting more than 160 companies that used the cloud data service Snowflake. On October 30, Canadian authorities arrested Alexander Moucka, a.k.a. Connor Riley Moucka of Kitchener, Ontario, on a provisional arrest warrant from the United States. Bloomberg first reported Moucka's alleged ties to the Snowflake hacks on Monday. At the end of 2023, malicious hackers learned that many large companies had uploaded huge volumes of sensitive customer data to Snowflake accounts that were protected with little more than a username and password (no multi-factor authentication required). After scouring darknet markets for stolen Snowflake account credentials, the hackers began raiding the data storage repositories used by some of the world’s largest corporations.

A bug that WIRED discovered in True the Vote’s VoteAlert app revealed user information—and an election worker who wrote about carrying out an illegal voter-suppression scheme.

Attackers are exploiting the "Envelopes: create API" of the enormously popular document-signing service to flood corporate inboxes with convincing phishing emails aimed at defrauding organizations. It's an unusual attack vector with a high success rate.

Scapy is a powerful interactive packet manipulation tool, packet generator, network scanner, network discovery tool, and packet sniffer. It provides classes to interactively create packets or sets of packets, manipulate them, send them over the wire, sniff other packets from the wire, match answers and replies, and more. Interaction is provided by the Python interpreter, so Python programming structures can be used (such as variables, loops, and functions). Report modules are possible and easy to make. It is intended to do the same things as ttlscan, nmap, hping, queso, p0f, xprobe, arping, arp-sk, arpspoof, firewalk, irpas, tethereal, tcpdump, etc.

### Summary gitsign may select the wrong Rekor entry to use during online verification when multiple entries are returned by the log. ### Details gitsign uses Rekor's search API to fetch entries that apply to a signature being verified. The parameters used for the search are the public key and the payload. The search API returns entries that match _either_ condition rather than _both_. When gitsign's credential cache is used, there can be multiple entries that use the same ephemeral keypair / signing certificate. As gitsign assumes both conditions are matched by Rekor, there is no additional validation that the entry's hash matches the payload being verified, meaning that the wrong entry can be used to successfully pass verification. ### PoC Enable the credential cache and create commit signatures using the cached signing certificate. `gitsign verify` or `git log --show-signature` will demonstrate the use of the wrong entry index for the corresponding commit. Note that this depend...

A vulnerability was identified in a ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.08.00 where an off-by-one error in array access could lead to undefined behavior and potential denial of service. The issue arises in a loop that iterates over an array using a less than or equals to condition, allowing access to an out-of-bounds index. This can trigger errors or unexpected behavior when processing data, potentially crashing the application. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to a crash or disruption of service, especially if the script handles large data sets.

GnuTLS is a secure communications library implementing the SSL and TLS protocols and technologies around them. It provides a simple C language application programming interface (API) to access the secure communications protocols, as well as APIs to parse and write X.509, PKCS #12, OpenPGP, and other required structures. It is intended to be portable and efficient with a focus on security and interoperability.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7091-1 - It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled parsing of an XML document that has specific XML characters in an attribute value using REXML gem. An attacker could use this issue to cause Ruby to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled parsing of an XML document that has many entity expansions with SAX2 or pull parser API. An attacker could use this issue to cause Ruby to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-8887-03 - An update for Openshift Jenkins is now available for Red Hat Product OCP Tools 4.13. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link in the References section. Issues addressed include bypass and denial of service vulnerabilities.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7083-1 - It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled certain memory operations when using the command line "-ImgDir" in a directory with a large number of files, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. An attacker could potentially use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled decompressing certain .j2k files in sycc420_to_rgb, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.
