*** VU#326830: NAS4Free version 9.1.0.1 contains a remote command execution vulnerability ***
---------------------------------------------
NAS4Free version 9.1.0.1.804 and possibly earlier versions contain a remote code execution vulnerability. NAS4Free allows an authenticated user to post PHP code to an HTTP script and have the code executed remotely. By default, NAS4Free runs with root privileges. A remotely authenticated attacker can send an HTTP POST request that contains a malicious PHP file which can cause the script to run directly on the machine.

It was briefly mentioned in a previous posting, but the Cryptolocker ransomware is still going strong. In essence, post infection is encrypts all of your "document" files based on file extension and then gives the user 72 hours to pay the ransom ($300 USD or 2 BTC). It is one f the few pieces of ransomware that does encryption right so at present, short of paying the ransom, there is no other means to decrypt. Bleeping Computer has a good write up, but below are the TL;DR highlights.

Recently, two papers independently outlined new attacks against DNS, undermining some of the security features protecting us from DNS spoofing. As Dan Kaminsky showed [1], 16 bit query IDs are an insufficient protection against DNS spoofing. As a result, DNS servers started to randomize the source port of DNS queries in order to make DNS spoofing harder. This was never meant to "fix" DNS spoofing, but worked well enough for DNSSEC to be pushed back yet again. Overall, to

Adverts for medication to improve male sex drive are a staple of spam mailings. Like any other unsolicited messages, emails of this nature have evolved with time and today’s versions no longer merely contain promises of enahnced potency and a link to a site selling pills. In August and September we noted a series of mailings that used the names of well-known companies, that looked just like typical phishing messages. However, instead of a phishing site the links they contained led to an advert for “male medication”.
