### Vulnerability type Access Controls ### Detail etcd creates certain directory paths (etcd data directory and the directory path when provided to automatically generate self-signed certificates for TLS connections with clients) with restricted access permissions (700) by using the os.MkdirAll. This function does not perform any permission checks when a given directory path exists already. ### Specific Go Package Affected github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pkg/fileutil ### Workarounds Make sure these directories have the desired permit (700). ### References Find out more on this vulnerability in the [security audit report](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/master/security/SECURITY_AUDIT.pdf) ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Contact the [etcd security committee](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/master/security/security-release-process.md#product-security-committee-psc)

Russian state-sponsored actor Coldriver uses spear phishing attacks to install the Spica backdoor on victim systems.
The threat actor tracked as TA866 has resurfaced after a nine-month hiatus with a new large-volume phishing campaign to deliver known malware families such as WasabiSeed and Screenshotter. The campaign, observed earlier this month and blocked by Proofpoint on January 11, 2024, involved sending thousands of invoice-themed emails targeting North America bearing decoy PDF files. "The PDFs
## Summary By publishing specially crafted transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain, the SPV maintainer can produce seemingly valid SPV proofs for fraudulent transactions. The issue was originally identified by Least Authority in the tBTC Bridge V2 Security Audit Report as _Issue B: Bitcoin SPV Merkle Proofs Can Be Faked_. A mitigation was believed to have been in place, but this turned out to contain an error, and the issue had not been effectively mitigated. ### Details This is achieved by creating a 64-byte transaction that the fraudulent transaction treats as a node in its merkle proof: The attacker creates the malicious transaction `E` and calculates an unusual but valid transaction `D`, so that the last 32 bytes of `D` are a part of the merkle proof of `E`: ``` D = foo | hash256(E') E' = bar | hash256(E) ``` `foo` and `bar` are arbitrary 32-byte values selected to facilitate this attack. The attacker can then publish `D` and wait for it to be mined. A valid SPV proof for `D` ...
