A vulnerability in the SSL/TLS client of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper memory management when a device initiates SSL/TLS connections. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by ensuring that the device will connect to an SSL/TLS server that is using specific encryption parameters. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the affected device to unexpectedly reload, resulting in a DoS condition.

A vulnerability in the TLS handler of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information. This vulnerability is due to improper implementation of countermeasures against a Bleichenbacher attack on a device that uses SSL decryption policies. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted TLS messages to an affected device, which would act as an oracle and allow the attacker to carry out a chosen-ciphertext attack. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to perform cryptanalytic operations that may allow decryption of previously captured TLS sessions to the affected device.

A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software and Cisco FXOS Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system as root. This vulnerability is due to improper input validation for specific CLI commands. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by injecting operating system commands into a legitimate command. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to escape the restricted command prompt and execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system. To successfully exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need valid Administrator credentials.

Marcin 'Icewall’ Noga of Cisco Talos discovered these vulnerabilities. Cisco Talos recently discovered a class attribute double-free vulnerability in Microsoft Office. Microsoft Office is a suite of tools used for productivity in both a corporate environment as well as by end-users. It offers a range of tools that

Cisco Secure Email Gateways, formerly known as Cisco Ironport Email Security Appliances, that are configured to detect malicious email attachments, can easily be circumvented. A remote attacker can leverage error tolerance and different MIME decoding capabilities of email clients, compared with the gateway, to evade detection of malicious payloads by anti-virus components on the gateway. This exploit was successfully tested with a zip file containing the Eicar test virus and Cisco Secure Email Gateways with AsyncOS 14.2.0-620, 14.0.0-698, and others. An affected Email Client was Mozilla Thunderbird 91.11.0 (64-bit).

The team uses a secret technique to locate AlphaBay’s server. But just as the operation heats up, the agents have an unexpected run-in with their target.

Military veterans tend to have the kind of skills that would make them effective cybersecurity professionals, but making the transition is not that easy.

Aleksandar Nikolic of Cisco Talos discovered these vulnerabilities. Cisco Talos recently discovered several use-after-free vulnerabilities in Foxit Reader that could lead to arbitrary code execution. The Foxit Reader is one of the most popular PDF document readers, which aims to have feature parity with Adobe’s Acrobat Reader. As
