Companies that recognize current market opportunities — from the need to safely implement revolutionary technology like AI to the vast proliferation of cyber threats — have remarkable growth prospects.

Now that large language models (LLMs) and LLM systems are flourishing, it’s important to reflect upon their security, the risks affecting them and the security controls to reduce these risks to acceptable levels.First of all, let’s differentiate between LLMs and LLM systems. This difference is key when analyzing the risks and the countermeasures that need to be applied. An LLM is an algorithm designed to analyze data, identify patterns and make predictions based on that data. A LLM system is a piece of software composed of artificial intelligence (AI) components, which includes a LLM along

Ubuntu Security Notice 7100-1 - Supraja Sridhara, Benedict Schlüter, Mark Kuhne, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that the Confidential Computing framework in the Linux kernel for x86 platforms did not properly handle 32-bit emulation on TDX and SEV. An attacker with access to the VMM could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

A significant amount of vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel have been resolved that include use-after-free and race conditions.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7092-1 - It was discovered that mpg123 incorrectly handled certain mp3 files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted mp3 file, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause mpg123 to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7089-2 - Chenyuan Yang discovered that the USB Gadget subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly check for the device to be enabled before writing. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-8870-03 - An update for kernel-rt is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. Issues addressed include buffer overflow, null pointer, and out of bounds access vulnerabilities.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-8856-03 - An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. Issues addressed include buffer overflow, null pointer, and out of bounds access vulnerabilities.

IBM Security Verify Access versions prior to 10.0.8 suffer from authentication bypass, reuse of private keys, local privilege escalation, weak settings, outdated libraries, missing password, hardcoded secrets, remote code execution, missing authentication, null pointer dereference, and lack of privilege separation vulnerabilities.

IBM Security Verify Access Appliance suffers from multiple insecure transit vulnerabilities, hardcoded passwords, and uninitialized variables. ibmsecurity versions prior to 2024.4.5 are affected.
