Threat actors with ties to North Korea have been observed leveraging two new malware strains dubbed KLogEXE and FPSpy. The activity has been attributed to an adversary tracked as Kimsuky, which is also known as APT43, ARCHIPELAGO, Black Banshee, Emerald Sleet (formerly Thallium), Sparkling Pisces, Springtail, and Velvet Chollima. "These samples enhance Sparkling Pisces' already extensive arsenal

Google has revealed that its transition to memory-safe languages such as Rust as part of its secure-by-design approach has led to the percentage of memory-safe vulnerabilities discovered in Android dropping from 76% to 24% over a period of six years. The tech giant said focusing on Safe Coding for new features not only reduces the overall security risk of a codebase, but also makes the switch

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 202409-22 - A vulnerability has been discovered in GCC, which can lead to flawed code generation. Versions greater than or equal to 10.0 are affected.

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 202409-15 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in stb, the worst of which lead to a denial of service. Versions greater than or equal to 20240201 are affected.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5774-1 - It was discovered that ruby-saml, a SAML library implementing the client side of a SAML authorization, does not properly verify the signature of the SAML Response, which could result in bypass of authentication in an application using the ruby-saml library.

There exists a use after free vulnerability in Reverb. Reverb supports the VARIANT datatype, which is supposed to represent an arbitrary object in C++. When a tensor proto of type VARIANT is unpacked, memory is first allocated to store the entire tensor, and a ctor is called on each instance. Afterwards, Reverb copies the content in tensor_content to the previously mentioned pre-allocated memory, which results in the bytes in tensor_content overwriting the vtable pointers of all the objects which were previously allocated. Reverb exposes 2 relevant gRPC endpoints: InsertStream and SampleStream. The attacker can insert this stream into the server’s database, then when the client next calls SampleStream they will unpack the tensor into RAM, and when any method on that object is called (including its destructor) the attacker gains control of the Program Counter. We recommend upgrading past git commit  https://github.com/google-deepmind/reverb/commit/6a0dcf4c9e842b7f999912f792aaa6f6bd261a2...

A North Korea-linked cyber-espionage group has been observed leveraging job-themed phishing lures to target prospective victims in energy and aerospace verticals and infect them with a previously undocumented backdoor dubbed MISTPEN. The activity cluster is being tracked by Google-owned Mandiant under the moniker UNC2970, which it said overlaps with a threat group known as TEMP.Hermit, which is

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5767-1 - Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code.

Proof of concept exploit that uses a use-after-free vulnerability due to a race condition in MIDI devices in Linux Kernel version 5.6.13.

Any vulnerability in an RTOS has the potential to affect many devices across multiple industries.
