Spammers are always looking for creative ways to bypass spam filters. As a spammer, one of the problems with creating your own architecture to deliver mail is that, once the spam starts flowing, these sources (IPs/domains) can be blocked. Spam can more easily find its way into the inbox if it is delivered from an unexpected or legitimate source. Realizing this, many spammers have elected to attack web pages and mail servers of legitimate organizations, so they may use these “pirated” resources to send unsolicited email.

∗∗∗ ChatGPT macOS Flaw Couldve Enabled Long-Term Spyware via Memory Function ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
A now-patched security vulnerability in OpenAI's ChatGPT app for macOS could have made it possible for attackers to plant long-term persistent spyware into the artificial intelligence (AI) tool's memory. The technique, dubbed SpAIware, could be abused to facilitate "continuous data exfiltration of any information the user typed or responses received by ChatGPT, including any future chat sessions," security researcher Johann Rehberger said.

∗∗∗ New attack against the [Linux kernel] SLUB allocator ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Researchers from Graz University of Technology have published details of a new attack on the Linux kernel called SLUBstack. The attack uses timing information to turn an ability to trigger use-after-free or double-free bugs into the ability to overwrite page tables, and thence into the ability to read and write arbitrary areas of memory. The good news is that this attack does require an existing bug to be usable; the bad news is that the kernel regularly sees bugs of this kind.

Derzeit erleben wir erneut eine Welle von Deepfake-Videos, in denen österreichische Prominente auf Facebook und Instagram für Investmentplattformen werben. Lassen Sie sich nicht täuschen: Weder Bundespräsident Alexander van der Bellen noch TV-Moderator Armin Assinger sind plötzlich Finanzexperten, die eine Investmentplattform entwickelt haben. Die Plattformen sind betrügerisch und die Videos wurden von Kriminellen erstellt.

In recent incidents, CISA has seen malicious cyber actors acquire system configuration files by leveraging available protocols or software on devices, such as abusing the legacy Cisco Smart Install feature. CISA recommends organizations disable Smart Install and review NSA’s Smart Install Protocol Misuse advisory and Network Infrastructure Security Guide for configuration guidance.

∗∗∗ Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability [CVE-2024-38219] ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to gather information specific to the environment and take additional actions prior to exploitation to prepare the target environment. Fxied in Microsoft Edge Version 127.0.2651.98 released 8/8/2024.

---------------------------------------------
The word Remote in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. This means an attacker or victim needs to execute code from the local machine to exploit the vulnerability. Fixed in Microsoft Edge Version 127.0.2651.98 released 8/8/2024.

∗∗∗ PostgreSQL relation replacement during pg_dump executes arbitrary SQL [CVE-2024-7348] ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in pg_dump in PostgreSQL allows an object creator to execute arbitrary SQL functions as the user running pg_dump, which is often a superuser. The attack involves replacing another relation type with a view or foreign table. The attack requires waiting for pg_dump to start, but winning the race condition is trivial if the attacker retains an open transaction. Versions before PostgreSQL 16.4, 15.8, 14.13, 13.16, and 12.20 are affected.

Die als "0.0.0.0 Day" bezeichnete Sicherheitslücke ermöglicht es böswilligen Websites, die Browsersicherheit zu umgehen und mit Diensten zu interagieren, die im lokalen Netzwerk einer Organisation laufen. Dies kann zu unautorisiertem Zugriff und Remotecodeausführung auf lokalen Diensten durch Angreifer außerhalb des Netzwerks führen. Die Browserhersteller beginnen nun, diese Adresse zu blockieren.
