A new malvertising campaign has been observed leveraging ads on Google Search and Bing to target users seeking IT tools like AnyDesk, Cisco AnyConnect VPN, and WinSCP, and trick them into downloading trojanized installers with an aim to breach enterprise networks and likely carry out future ransomware attacks. Dubbed Nitrogen, the "opportunistic" activity is designed to deploy second-stage
Netdisco before v2.063000 was discovered to contain an open redirect vulnerability. An attacker may exploit this vulnerability to redirect users to arbitrary web URLs by tricking the victim users to click on crafted links.
An issue was discovered in FSMLabs TimeKeeper 8.0.17 through 8.0.28. By intercepting requests from various timekeeper streams, it is possible to find the getsamplebacklog call. Some query parameters are passed directly in the URL and named arg[x], with x an integer starting from 1; it is possible to modify arg[2] to insert Bash code that will be executed directly by the server.
Debian Linux Security Advisory 5459-1 - Tavis Ormandy discovered that under specific microarchitectural circumstances, a vector register in "Zen 2" CPUs may not be written to 0 correctly. This flaw allows an attacker to leak register contents across concurrent processes, hyper threads and virtualized guests.
Ubuntu Security Notice 6250-1 - Stonejiajia, Shir Tamari and Sagi Tzadik discovered that the OverlayFS implementation in the Ubuntu Linux kernel did not properly perform permission checks in certain situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to gain elevated privileges. It was discovered that the IP-VLAN network driver for the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations, leading to an out-of- bounds write vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
It was discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC USB WiFi driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform data buffer size validation in some situations. A physically proximate attacker could use this to craft a malicious USB device that when inserted, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information. Reima Ishii discovered that the nested KVM implementation for Intel x86 processors in the Linux kernel did not properly validate control registers in certain situations. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service (guest crash). Various other issues were also addressed.
Journal Management Software version 1.2.4 suffers from a remote SQL injection vulnerability.
Joomla VirtueMart component version 2.6.12.2 suffers from a remote SQL injection vulnerability.
Ubuntu Security Notice 6246-1 - It was discovered that the IP-VLAN network driver for the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations, leading to an out-of- bounds write vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Mingi Cho discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the status of a nft chain while performing a lookup by id, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
A new study conducted by Uptycs has uncovered a stark increase in the distribution of information stealing (a.k.a. infostealer or stealer) malware. Incidents have more than doubled in Q1 2023, indicating an alarming trend that threatens global organizations. According to the new Uptycs' whitepaper, Stealers are Organization Killers, a variety of new info stealers have emerged this year, preying
