Hackers Exploit Zero-Day in cnPilot Routers to Deploy AIRASHI DDoS Botnet

Threat actors are exploiting an unspecified zero-day vulnerability in Cambium Networks cnPilot routers to deploy a variant of the AISURU botnet called AIRASHI to carry out distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. According to QiAnXin XLab, the attacks have leveraged the security flaw since June 2024. Additional details about the shortcomings have been withheld to prevent further abuse. Some

Mirai Botnet Launches Record 5.6 Tbps DDoS Attack with 13,000+ IoT Devices

Web infrastructure and security company Cloudflare on Tuesday said it detected and blocked a 5.6 Terabit per second (Tbps) distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, the largest ever attack to be reported to date. The UDP protocol-based attack took place on October 29, 2024, targeting one of its customers, an unnamed internet service provider (ISP) from Eastern Asia. The activity originated

GHSA-c59p-wq67-24wx: Infinite loop and Blind SSRF found inside the Webfinger mechanism in @fedify/fedify

### Summary This vulnerability allows a user to maneuver the Webfinger mechanism to perform a GET request to any internal resource on any Host, Port, URL combination regardless of present security mechanisms, and forcing the victim’s server into an infinite loop causing Denial of Service. Moreover, this issue can also be maneuvered into performing a Blind SSRF attack. ### Details The Webfinger endpoint takes a remote domain for checking accounts as a feature, however, as per the ActivityPub spec (https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#security-considerations), on the security considerations section at B.3, access to Localhost services should be prevented while running in production. The **lookupWebFinger** function, responsible for returning an actor handler for received actor objects from a remote server, can be abused to perform a Denial of Service (DoS) and Blind SSRF attacks while attempting to resolve a malicious actor’s object. On Fedify, two client-facing functions implement the *...

GHSA-fh5r-crhr-qrrq: Apache CXF: Denial of Service vulnerability with temporary files

A potential denial of service vulnerability is present in versions of Apache CXF before 3.5.10, 3.6.5 and 4.0.6. In some edge cases, the CachedOutputStream instances may not be closed and, if backed by temporary files, may fill up the file system (it applies to servers and clients).

Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) II

View CSAF 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CVSS v4 7.1 ATTENTION: Exploitable from adjacent network Standard: Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) II Equipment: Collision Avoidance Systems Vulnerabilities: Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision, External Control of System or Configuration Setting 2. RISK EVALUATION Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to manipulate safety systems and cause a denial-of-service condition. 3. TECHNICAL DETAILS 3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS The following revisions of TCAS II are affected: TCAS II: Versions 7.1 and prior 3.2 Vulnerability Overview 3.2.1 Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision CWE-807 By utilizing software-defined radios and a custom low-latency processing pipeline, RF signals with spoofed location data can be transmitted to aircraft targets. This can lead to the appearance of fake aircraft on displays and potentially trigger undesired Resolution Advisories (RAs). CWE-2024-9310 has been...

GHSA-gp86-q8hg-fpxj: matrix-media-repo (MMR) allows a denial of service through memory exhaustion

### Impact MMR makes requests to other servers as part of normal operation, and these resource owners can return large amounts of JSON back to MMR for parsing. In parsing, MMR can consume large amounts of memory and exhaust available memory. ### Patches This is fixed in [MMR v1.3.8](https://github.com/t2bot/matrix-media-repo/releases/tag/v1.3.8). ### Workarounds Forward proxies can be configured to block requests to unsafe hosts. Alternatively, MMR processes can be configured with memory limits and auto-restart. Running multiple MMR processes concurrently can help ensure a restart does not overly impact users.
