A Vulnerability in Cisco Unified Industrial Wireless Software for Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul Access Point Could Allow for Remote Code Execution

Read Time:30 Second

A vulnerability has been discovered in Cisco Unified Industrial Wireless Software for Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul Access Point that could allow for remote code execution. Cisco Unified Industrial Wireless Software for Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul Access Point is Cisco’s solution to address wireless and mobile use case issues facing enterprises. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to replace any file on the underlying file system. The attacker could then perform any of the following actions: add users with root privileges, modify the device configuration, execute arbitrary code, or cause a permanent denial of service (DoS) condition on the affected device.

IoT Devices in Password-Spraying Botnet

Read Time:57 Second

Microsoft is warning Azure cloud users that a Chinese controlled botnet is engaging in “highly evasive” password spraying. Not sure about the “highly evasive” part; the techniques seem basically what you get in a distributed password-guessing attack:

“Any threat actor using the CovertNetwork-1658 infrastructure could conduct password spraying campaigns at a larger scale and greatly increase the likelihood of successful credential compromise and initial access to multiple organizations in a short amount of time,” Microsoft officials wrote. “This scale, combined with quick operational turnover of compromised credentials between CovertNetwork-1658 and Chinese threat actors, allows for the potential of account compromises across multiple sectors and geographic regions.”

Some of the characteristics that make detection difficult are:

The use of compromised SOHO IP addresses
The use of a rotating set of IP addresses at any given time. The threat actors had thousands of available IP addresses at their disposal. The average uptime for a CovertNetwork-1658 node is approximately 90 days.
The low-volume password spray process; for example, monitoring for multiple failed sign-in attempts from one IP address or to one account will not detect this activity.

USN-7088-3: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Read Time:3 Minute, 51 Second

Ziming Zhang discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU DRM driver in the
Linux kernel contained an integer overflow vulnerability. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2022-36402)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
