Miele Benchmark Programming Tool versions 1.1.49 and 1.2.71 suffer from a privilege escalation vulnerability.

When KrebsOnSecurity last month explored how cybercriminals were using hacked email accounts at police departments worldwide to obtain warrantless Emergency Data Requests (EDRs) from social media and technology providers, many security experts called it a fundamentally unfixable problem. But don't tell that to Matt Donahue, a former FBI agent who recently quit the agency to launch a startup that aims to help tech companies do a better job screening out phony law enforcement data requests -- in part by assigning trustworthiness or "credit ratings" to law enforcement authorities worldwide.

In cifs-utils through 6.14, a stack-based buffer overflow when parsing the mount.cifs ip= command-line argument could lead to local attackers gaining root privileges.

Microsoft on Tuesday disclosed a set of two privilege escalation vulnerabilities in the Linux operating system that could potentially allow threat actors to carry out an array of nefarious activities. Collectively called "Nimbuspwn," the flaws "can be chained together to gain root privileges on Linux systems, allowing attackers to deploy payloads, like a root backdoor, and perform other

The move to IaC has its challenges but done right can fundamentally improve an organization's overall security posture.

An issue was discovered in CipherMail Webmail Messenger 1.1.1 through 4.1.4. A local attacker could access secret keys (found in a Roundcube configuration file) that are used to protect Webmail user passwords and two-factor authentication (2FA).

The threat actor behind the prolific Emotet botnet is testing new attack methods on a small scale before co-opting them into their larger volume malspam campaigns, potentially in response to Microsoft's move to disable Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros by default across its products. Calling the new activity a "departure" from the group's typical behavior, ProofPoint alternatively

Researchers propose fresh approaches to cloud-security bugs and mitigating exposure, impact and risk.
