Dan Carpenter discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel  
did not store data in properly sized memory locations. A local user could  
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-0607)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following  
package versions:

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:  
   linux-image-5.15.0-1050-intel-iotg  5.15.0-1050.56  
   linux-image-intel-iotg          5.15.0.1050.50

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:  
   linux-image-5.15.0-1050-intel-iotg  5.15.0-1050.56~20.04.1  
   linux-image-intel               5.15.0.1050.56~20.04.40  
   linux-image-intel-iotg          5.15.0.1050.56~20.04.40

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make  
all the necessary changes.

ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have  
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and  
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.  
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages  
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,  
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform  
this as well.

Singapore, 28 March 2024 – GoPlus Labs, the leading Web3 security infrastructure provider, has unveiled a groundbreaking report…
This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: GoPlus Report: Blockchain Networks Using API Security Data to Mitigate Web3 Threats

**Singapore, 28 March 2024** – GoPlus Labs, the leading Web3 security infrastructure provider, has unveiled a groundbreaking report that highlights the growing, widespread use and potential of Web3 user security data to aid in risk management.

The findings of the report reveal a clear and growing demand for more advanced security tools that can effectively safeguard digital assets, verify the authenticity of nonfungible tokens (**NFTs**) and monitor decentralized applications for threats. 

The report, “Uncharted Consensus: The Widespread Use and Potential of User Security Data in Web3”, showcases the rapid adoption of GoPlus’s API suite, which provides Web3 industry stakeholders with unparalleled insights into the health and vulnerability of various cryptocurrencies, NFTs and decentralized applications. At the same time, it also underscores the unique role GoPlus plays in addressing Web3’s most pressing security challenges.

GoPlus is the developer of an API suite that’s designed to address the multifaceted challenges of Web3 user security, enabling targeted data analysis across key aspects of the industry. Its modules include a Token RIsk API and NFT Risk API that evaluate the risk associated with different cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens; a Malicious address API for monitoring and reporting malicious addresses; a dApp Security API for real-time monitoring and threat detection in decentralized applications; and an Approval API for checking malicious approval of an address.

The report shows there is rising demand for better Web3 security solutions, with GoPlus revealing that its Token Risk API saw a rapid increase in utilization from November 2023, with some months witnessing peaks of over 20 million calls per day.  This suggests that the crypto industry is collectively shifting towards pre-emptive risk identification and mitigation, driven by the evolving and intensifying landscape of security threats. 

These increases were mirrored by similar usage spikes in GoPlus’s other API modules. For instance, usage of its NFT API spiked between Dec. 2022 and Feb. 2023, and then several times again between March and May 2023, before stabilizing, followed by a sustained period of much steadier growth. These usage trends mirror the growing adoption of NFTs and the corresponding need for tools that can accurately assess the risks associated with these digital assets.

****Evolving Threat Landscape****

A closer analysis of the API usage data illustrated a significant fluctuation in the presence of “high-risk” tokens, reflecting a threat landscape that’s just as volatile as the crypto industry itself. The majority of these high-risk tokens were identified as being either “blacklisted” or “honeypots”, although many other kinds of threats were identified, illustrating the evolving tactics used by hackers and scammers in the industry. The report also found an exponential increase in threats associated with NFTs, such as privileged operations (burn and minting), restricted approvals, self-destruct mechanisms and unauthorized transfers.

The threat-related insights demonstrate the need for Web3 projects to employ more dynamic, robust and adaptable security strategies and countermeasures to deal with the evolving threat landscape, as well as the need for education and collaboration to increase awareness of these threats and find better ways to mitigate them.

****Top Ecosystems & Threats****

The comprehensive study also highlighted the differing levels of user engagement and **security concerns across blockchains**, providing perspective on the unique challenges and risks faced by each ecosystem. 

BNB Chain emerged as the most prominent user of GoPlus’s APIs, being queried more than 92.7 million times during the research period. This reflects Binance’s laudable achievement in fostering a large community that’s united in its determination to identify and proactively mitigate security risks such as token vulnerabilities and scams.

Ethereum was the second-most popular chain to leverage GoPlus, with users querying its APIs 84 million times, highlighting both the extent of its user base and its vigilance against vulnerabilities and scams. Meanwhile, Polygon also stood out with almost 9.8 million queries during the period. This high level of adoption in the much smaller Polygon community illustrates the strong emphasis it places on scaling security solutions for the Web3 industry. 

Other insights from the report include the top ten token risks faced by the crypto industry today, with further analysis uncovering ten tokens with characteristics that mark them out as being “particularly malicious”, and also the top ten NFT collections that could be perceived as risky, due to their close association with phishing scams.  

****The Importance Of User Security Insights****

The GoPlus report provides valuable insights into aspects such as user engagement, preferences and the nature of the evolving threats in Web3, which can be essential for stakeholders to make more informed decisions and mitigate the risks they face. 

Perhaps the most significant finding is that the report underlines the critical importance Web3 security data can play in helping the industry address the evolving risk landscape. As the Web3 ecosystem grows and evolves, the need for comprehensive security data will become all the more vital, helping dApp developers protect their users, while educating users on how to protect themselves.  

****About GoPlus Labs****

Welcome to this week’s threat source newsletter with Jon out, you’ve got me as your substitute teacher. 

I’m taking you back to those halcyon days of youth and that moment when you found out that you had a sub that day, will I be the teacher that just rolls in the TV cart and delivers the single greatest blast of freedom that you can have in a classroom, or will I be the teacher that strolls into your 4th grade class and is appalled that you aren’t already conversant in Dostoevsky? Neither. Today I will be the old wizened oracle offering advice and attempting to answer one of the most asked questions I receive at public speaking engagements. So pull up a desk and don’t make that high pitched sound with a wet finger on the basket underneath the seat, because I know the old magicks.  

The number one question that I field after public speaking is “Why did they let you out of your cage to talk to normal people?” and honestly, I don’t really have an answer I just hope that no one notices. The next question is invariably a variation of “How did you become a threat hunter?”, “How do I get a job in cyber security?”, “How do I get a gig within Talos?” The answer is simply – be curious. Intellectual curiosity is the key. I’ll take it a step further when talking specifically about Talos and quote Walt Whitman (via Ted Lasso) and say, “Be curious, not judgmental” because being a positive part of the culture is as important as the deep arcane knowledge and skills that you need to get your foot in the door at Talos.  

There are a lot of paths that you can take in security and the various skill sets along each path vary but curiosity will carry you through each one. A lot of people will tell you to follow your passion and I will vehemently disagree; I will say to follow your aptitude. As you learn and grow within the field, you’ll find that some things come easily, don’t fight the wind in that scenario be the willow. If you are extremely early in your journey, find the helpers. There are tons of super helpful people, sites, and resources available to get you started and finding them is easy if you are curious. Attend a BSides or local security group like AHA. Install Snort and start learning what traffic looks like on the wire and create custom signatures. Install Kali and break things, in your own environment please. Combine the two and see where it will take you. If you are further along in your journey and are interested in taking the next step from analyst to malware research or reverse engineering, you can start with hasherezade's 1001 nights and see if you have the aptitude to follow that path. Don’t be afraid to try something and fail. Don’t expect to be good from the start. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and admit that you don’t know something – the most important things I’ve picked up usually come from “I don’t know, could you teach me?”.  

In the end there are truly almost as many paths as there are people doing the jobs. It’s crazy how varied the backgrounds on our teams are but curiosity is rampant.

C2A Security’s EVSec Risk Management and Automation Platform Gains Traction in Automotive Industry as Companies Seek to Efficiently Meet Regulatory Requirements.
This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: C2A Security’s EVSec Platform Gains Automotive Industry Traction for Compliance

C2A Security’s DevSecOps Platform, ‘EVSec’, has been gaining widespread traction as the automotive industry rushes to meet cybersecurity regulations and industry standards, such as UN Regulation No. 155, ISO/SAE 21434, Chinese GB Standards, and others.

2024 is a pivotal year for cybersecurity regulations in the automotive industry, as UN Regulation No. 155 goes into full effect. C2A Security’s EVSec risk-driven product security platform allows developers to focus on creative features and manage software and operations at scale, in an automated manner.

EVSec automates archaic manual processes and enables cross-functional sharing and collaboration between teams, customers, and supply chains while offering full digital twin capabilities. EVSec applies continuous feedback from product operations and vulnerabilities to improve development and design, as part of agile software development.

In 2023, C2A Security added multiple OEMs and Tier 1s to its portfolio of customers, successful evaluations, and partnerships such as BMW Group, Daimler Truck AG, Marelli, NTT Data, Siemens, and Valeo, among others.

The collaboration with C2A Security supports the customers on the applicable standards and best practices for regulatory compliance. EVSec maps and automates the relevant standards and regulations, like ISO/SAE 21434 and UN Regulation No. 155, to simplify compliance efforts, which are essential to business success, as companies forge new grounds for their vehicles, develop innovative EV-powered vehicles, and plan for the EV infrastructure that supports them.

“We’re thrilled that EVSec has proven so popular and effective, as companies like Daimler Truck AG choose it as its product security platform. Dealing with current and emerging regulatory demands, software development at scale and overall product security operations can be a limitation on the business continuity of a company if not automated,” noted **Roy Fridman**, CEO, of C2A Security.

“At the end of 2023, we witnessed the first case of a premium car maker that stopped the sale of their most popular model in the European Union because it failed to comply with the regulation. To stay competitive companies must utilize advanced product security automation in their development and operations and we are excited to support them in achieving this goal.”

C2A Security’s EVSec Platform Gains Automotive Industry Traction for Compliance

Google has released an update for Chrome to fix seven security vulnerabilities.

Google has released an update to Chrome which includes seven security fixes. Version 123.0.6312.86/.87 of Chrome for Windows and Mac and 123.0.6312.86 for Linux will roll out over the coming days/weeks.

The easiest way to update Chrome is to allow it to update automatically, which basically uses the same method as outlined below but does not require your attention. But you can end up lagging behind if you never close the browser or if something goes wrong—such as an extension stopping you from updating the browser.

So, it doesn’t hurt to check now and then. And now would be a good time, given the severity of the vulnerability in this patch. My preferred method is to have Chrome open the page chrome://settings/help which you can also find by clicking **Settings > About Chrome**.

If there is an update available, Chrome will notify you and start downloading it. Then all you have to do is relaunch the browser in order for the update to complete, and for you to be safe from those vulnerabilities.

_After the update, the version should be 123.0.6312.86, or later_

**Technical details**

Google never gives out a lot of information about vulnerabilities, for obvious reasons. Access to bug details and links may be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix.

There is one critical vulnerability that looks like it might be of interest to cybercriminals.

CVE-2024-2883: Use after free (UAF) vulnerability in Angle in Google Chrome prior to 123.0.6312.86 could allow a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page.

Angle is a browser component that deals with WebGL (short for Web Graphics Library) content. WebGL is a JavaScript API for rendering interactive 2D and 3D graphics within any compatible web browser without the use of plug-ins.

UAF is a type of vulnerability that is the result of the incorrect use of dynamic memory during a program’s operation. If, after freeing a memory location, a program does not clear the pointer to that memory, an attacker can use the error to manipulate the program. Referencing memory after it has been freed can cause a program to crash, use unexpected values, or execute code. In this case, when the vulnerability is exploited, it can lead to heap corruption.

Heap corruption occurs when a program modifies the contents of a memory location outside of the memory allocated to the program. The outcome can be relatively benign and cause a memory leak, or it may be fatal and cause a memory fault, usually in the program that causes the corruption.

Chromium vulnerabilities are considered critical if they “allow an attacker to read or write arbitrary resources (including but not limited to the file system, registry, network, etc.) on the underlying platform, with the user’s full privileges.”

So, to sum this up, in this case an attacker could create a specially crafted HTML page–which can be put online as a website–that exploits the vulnerability, potentially leading to a compromised system.

My suggestion: don’t wait for the update, get it now.

**We don’t just report on vulnerabilities—we identify them, and prioritize action.**

Cybersecurity risks should never spread beyond a headline. Keep vulnerabilities in tow by using ThreatDown Vulnerability and Patch Management.

 Update Chrome now! Google patches possible drive-by vulnerability 

### Impact: 
The mergeDeep() function in the web3-utils package has been identified for Prototype Pollution vulnerability. An attacker has the ability to modify an object's prototype, which could result in changing the behavior of all objects that inherit from the impacted prototype by providing carefully crafted input to function.

### Patches: 
It has been fixed in web3-utils version 4.2.1 so all packages and apps depending on web3-utils >=4.0.1 and <=4.2.0 should upgrade to web3-utils 4.2.1.

### Workarounds: 
None
