Researchers show techniques for malware persistence on F5 and Citrix load balancers

Read Time:48 Second

Over the past several years, hackers have targeted public-facing network devices such as routers, VPN concentrators, and load balancers to gain a foothold into corporate networks. While finding remote code execution vulnerabilities in such devices is not uncommon, incidents where attackers were able to deploy malware on them that can survive restarts or firmware upgrades have been rare and generally attributed with sophisticated APT groups.

Because they use flash memory that degrades over time if subjected to many write operations, embedded network devices typically store their firmware in read-only filesystems and load their contents into RAM at each restart. This means that all changes and files generated by the various running services during the device’s normal operation are temporary because they only occur in RAM and are never saved to the file system, which is restored to its initial state when the device is restarted reboot.

Multiple Vulnerabilities in VMware Workspace ONE Assist Could Allow for Privilege Escalation

Read Time:23 Second

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in VMware Workspace ONE Assist, the most severe of which could allow for privilege escalation. VMware Workspace ONE Assist is a remote access tool used to remotely access and troubleshoot VMware devices. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for privilege escalation and possibly obtaining administrative access. Depending on the permissions associated with the user account compromised, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data.

Read Time:24 Second

In Phoenix Contact: FL MGUARD DM version 1.12.0 and 1.13.0 access to the Apache web server being installed as part of the FL MGUARD DM on Microsoft Windows does not require login credentials even if configured during installation.Attackers with network access to the Apache web server can download and therefore read mGuard configuration profiles (“ATV profiles�). Such configuration profiles may contain sensitive information, e.g. private keys associated with IPsec VPN connections.
