Those assurances can be completely undone by a single unpatched application, as Andre' DiMino has demonstrated when he documented an Ubuntu machine in his lab being converted into a Bitcoin-mining, denial-of-service-spewing, vulnerability-exploiting hostage under the control of attackers. --------------------------------------------- http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/12/anatomy-of-a-hack-what-a-successful… *** Turkey Tops World in Per Capita Malware Encounters *** --------------------------------------------- Microsoft claims that Turkish machines encounter more malware than computers in any other country in the world. --------------------------------------------- http://threatpost.com/turkey-tops-world-in-per-capita-malware-encounters/10… *** New Trojan.Mods mines bitcoins *** --------------------------------------------- Russian anti-virus company Doctor Web is warning users about a new Trojan.Mods modification that has been dubbed Trojan.Mods.10. This Trojans authors followed the major trend of December 2013 and added a bitcoin miner to the set of Trojan.Mods.10's features. You may recall that Trojan.Mods programs were found in large numbers in the wild in spring 2013 and were primarily designed to intercept browsers DNS queries and redirect users to malignant sites. --------------------------------------------- http://news.drweb.com/show/?i=4176&lng=en&c=9 *** New CryptoLocker Spreads Via Removable Drives *** --------------------------------------------- We recently came across a CryptoLocker variant that had one notable feature - it has propagation routines. Analysis of the malware, detected as WORM_CRILOCK.A, shows that this malware can spread via removable drives. This update is considered significant because this routine was unheard of in other CRILOCK variants. --------------------------------------------- http://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/new-cryptolocker… *** OpenSSL mit kaputter Hintertür *** --------------------------------------------- Die von der NSA als Hintertür entworfene Zufallszahlenfunktion Dual EC findet sich auch in der offenen Krypto-Bibliothek OpenSSL.

We have also blogged about Google Code being used as a drop site for holding malicious code. These instances clearly suggest that attackers are targeting popular websites and using them in their attacks as they are less likely to be blocked by URL filters. This time we found that Google acquired "FeedBurner", which provides custom RSS feeds and management tools to users is hosting an infected page. --------------------------------------------- http://research.zscaler.com/2013/12/infection-found-on-feedburnercom.html *** Hackers who breached php.net exposed visitors to highly unusual malware *** --------------------------------------------- Eight weeks after hackers compromised the official PHP website and laced it with attack code, outside security researchers have uncovered evidence that some visitors were exposed to malware that's highly unusual, if not unique. --------------------------------------------- http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/12/hackers-who-breached-php-net-expose… *** Python Multiple Vulnerabilities *** --------------------------------------------- https://secunia.com/advisories/56234 *** Puppet Enterprise Multiple Vulnerabilities *** --------------------------------------------- https://secunia.com/advisories/56251 *** Novell Client Bug Lets Local Users Crash the System *** --------------------------------------------- http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1029533 *** Cisco IOS XE VTY Authentication security bypass *** --------------------------------------------- http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/89901 *** cPanel WHM XML and JSON APIs Arbitrary File Disclosure Vulnerability *** --------------------------------------------- https://secunia.com/advisories/56207 *** VMware Patches Privilege Vulnerability in ESX, ESXi *** --------------------------------------------- http://threatpost.com/vmware-patches-privilege-vulnerability-in-esx-esxi/10… *** Zimbra 8.0.2 and 7.2.2 Collaboration Server LFI Exploit *** --------------------------------------------- http://cxsecurity.com/issue/WLB-2013120155 *** Synology DiskStation Manager SLICEUPLOAD Remote Command Execution *** --------------------------------------------- http://cxsecurity.com/issue/WLB-2013120156 *** RT: Request Tracker 4.0.10 SQL Injection *** --------------------------------------------- http://cxsecurity.com/issue/WLB-2013040083 *** Bugtraq: Song Exporter v2.1.1 RS iOS - File Include Vulnerabilities *** --------------------------------------------- http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/530489
