Microsoft on Tuesday raised an alarm for in-the-wild exploitation of a critical flaw in Windows Update, warning that attackers are rolling back security fixes on certain versions of its flagship operating system.
We recently performed research that started off "well-intentioned" (or as well-intentioned as we ever are) - to make vulnerabilities in WHOIS clients and how they parse responses from WHOIS servers exploitable in the real world (i.e. without needing to MITM etc).
As part of our research, we discovered that a few years ago the WHOIS server for the .MOBI TLD migrated from whois.dotmobiregistry.net to whois.nic.mobi – and the dotmobiregistry.net domain had been left to expire seemingly in December 2023.

Every sysadmin is familiar with Veeam’s enterprise-oriented backup solution, ‘Veeam Backup & Replication’. Unfortunately, so is every ransomware operator, given it's somewhat 'privileged position' in the storage world of most enterprise's networks. There's no point deploying cryptolocker malware on a target unless you can also deny access to backups, and so, this class of attackers absolutely loves to break this particular software.
With so many eyes focussed on it, then, it is no huge surprise that it has a rich history of CVEs. Today, we're going to look at the latest episode - CVE-2024-40711.
Well, that was a complex vulnerability, requiring a lot of code-reading! We’ve successfully shown how multiple bugs can be chained together to gain RCE in a variety of versions of Veeam Backup & Replication.
