In December 2024, two Windows Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) vulnerabilities were identified by independent security researcher Yuki Chen: CVE-2024-49112, a remote code execution (RCE) flaw with a 9.8 CVSS score, and CVE-2024-49113, a denial-of-service (DoS) flaw with a 7.5 CVSS score.
Veeam released security updates today to address two Service Provider Console (VSPC) vulnerabilities, including a critical remote code execution (RCE) discovered during internal testing.
VSPC, described by the company as a remote-managed BaaS (Backend as a Service) and DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service) platform, is used by service providers to monitor the health and security of customer backups, as well as manage their Veeam-protected virtual, Microsoft 365, and public cloud workloads.
Multiple Xerox printers (EC80xx, AltaLink, VersaLink, WorkCentre) were affected by an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability which allowed an attacker with administrative web credentials to fully compromise the devices with root privileges on the operating system.
VMware warned that an attacker with network access could send a specially crafted packet to execute remote code. CVSS severity score 9.8/10.
Microsoft researchers found multiple vulnerabilities in OpenVPN that could lead to an attack chain allowing remote code execution and local privilege escalation. This attack chain could enable attackers to gain full control over targeted endpoints, potentially resulting in data breaches, system compromise, and unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Cisco has fixed a critical severity vulnerability that lets attackers add new users with root privileges and permanently crash Security Email Gateway (SEG) appliances using emails with malicious attachments.
Tracked as CVE-2024-20401, this arbitrary file write security flaw in the SEG content scanning and message filtering features is caused by an absolute path traversal weakness that allows replacing any file on the underlying operating system.
A format string vulnerability in Ghostscript ≤ 10.03.0 which enables attackers to gain Remote Code Execution (#RCE) while also bypassing sandbox protections. CVE-2024-29510 has significant impact on web-applications and other services offering document conversion and preview functionalities as these often use Ghostscript under the hood. We recommend verifying whether your solution (indirectly) makes use of Ghostscript and if so, update it to the latest version!
On April 10, 2024, Volexity identified zero-day exploitation of a vulnerability found within the GlobalProtect feature of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS at one of its network security monitoring (NSM) customers. Volexity received alerts regarding suspect network traffic emanating from the customer’s firewall. A subsequent investigation determined the device had been compromised. The following day, April 11, 2024, Volexity observed further, identical exploitation at another one of its NSM customers by the same threat actor.
