Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-1411-03 - An update for opencryptoki is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Extended Update Support.

There are a few reasons why we’re so ready to jump to the “it’s a cyber attack!”

The threat actors behind the PixPirate Android banking trojan are leveraging a new trick to evade detection on compromised devices and harvest sensitive information from users in Brazil. The approach allows it to hide the malicious app’s icon from the home screen of the victim’s device, IBM said in a technical report published today. “Thanks to this new technique, during PixPirate reconnaissance

Ubuntu Security Notice 6686-1 - It was discovered that the DesignWare USB3 for Qualcomm SoCs driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain error conditions during device registration. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Cypress touchscreen driver in the Linux kernel during device removal, leading to a use-after- free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6685-1 - It was discovered that mqtt-client incorrectly handled memory while parsing malformed MQTT frames. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-1239-03 - An update for opencryptoki is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

Xingyuan Mo discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle inactive elements in its PIPAPO data structure, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the IGMP protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-1188-03 - An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 Extended Update Support. Issues addressed include code execution, denial of service, memory leak, out of bounds read, out of bounds write, and use-after-free vulnerabilities.

IBM recently released their 2024 X-Force Threat Intelligence Index.According to IBM, this report offers data on the threat landscape “as a resource to IBM clients, researchers in the security industry, policy makers, the media, and the broader community of security professionals and business leaders. It’s [their] intent to keep all parties informed of the current threat landscape so they can make the best decisions for reducing risk.”Part of the threat landscape includes an analysis from Red Hat Insights on the aggregated threats that the Insights team can see affects Red Hat customers.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6653-1 - It was discovered that a race condition existed in the ATM subsystem of the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the AppleTalk networking subsystem of the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
