By Habiba Rashid Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG) labeled the spyware campaign as limited but highly targeted. This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: Google reveals spyware attack on Android, iOS, and Chrome

Google TAG researchers reveal two campaigns against iOS, Android, and Chrome users that demonstrate how the commercial surveillance market is thriving despite government-imposed limits.

U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday signed an executive order that restricts the use of commercial spyware by federal government agencies. The order said the spyware ecosystem "poses significant counterintelligence or security risks to the United States Government or significant risks of improper use by a foreign government or foreign person." It also seeks to ensure that the government's use of

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A use-after-free may be triggered in asus_kbd_backlight_set when plugging/disconnecting in a malicious USB device, which advertises itself as an Asus device. Similarly to the previous known CVE-2023-25012, but in asus devices, the work_struct may be scheduled by the LED controller while the device is disconnecting, triggering a use-after-free on the struct asus_kbd_leds *led structure. A malicious USB device may exploit the issue to cause memory corruption with controlled data.

Indicators point to Twitter's source code being publicly available for around three months, offering a developer security object lesson for businesses.

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Ext4 File System in how a user triggers several file operations simultaneously with the overlay FS usage. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. Only if patch 9a2544037600 ("ovl: fix use after free in struct ovl_aio_req") not applied yet, the kernel could be affected.

In the Linux kernel before 6.1.3, fs/ntfs3/inode.c does not validate the attribute name offset. An unhandled page fault may occur.
