By Jon Munshaw.  Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter.  I’m very excited about this video I’ve embedded below — it’s a project I’ve been working on with my team for a while now. Building off what I’ve written about in the past regarding fake news, this video examines what essentially equates to the propaganda being spread on social media during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.  This includes everything from fake videos of soldiers dancing to Ukrainian laser cats and fairly convincing deepfake videos.  The Russia cybersecurity news doesn’t end there, either. State-sponsored actors have been busy over the past month, including the Killnet group, which recently targeted several U.S. local elections offices and major airports. So far, these cyber attacks don’t seem to have had any major effects or disruptions so far, but I just think it’s worth noting that these groups are just as active as ever, which is what the U.S. government has been warning us about sin...

An out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Kid-friendly Wired Controller driver. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. It is in bigben_probe of drivers/hid/hid-bigbenff.c. The reason is incorrect assumption - bigben devices all have inputs. However, malicious devices can break this assumption, leaking to out-of-bound write.

Some versions of Sonos One (1st and 2nd generation) allow partial or full memory access via attacker controlled hardware that can be attached to the Mini-PCI Express slot on the motherboard that hosts the WiFi card on the device.
