*** Swiss Advertising network compromised and distributing a Trojan *** --------------------------------------------- On September 11, 2015, MELANI / GovCERT.ch got informed by security researcher Kafeine about a popular advertising network in Switzerland that obviously got compromised by cybercriminals, leading to an exploit kit called Niteris. ... While investigating the incident, we noticed that the Exploit Kit that was injected into the Ad network was only serving malware when the visitor had a German or French User-Agent (HTTP Header Accept-Language). --------------------------------------------- http://www.govcert.admin.ch/blog/13/swiss-advertising-network-compromised-an...
*** Xen Security Advisory 142 - libxl fails to honour readonly flag on disks with qemu-xen *** --------------------------------------------- Callers of libxl can specify that a disk should be read-only to the guest. However, there is no code in libxl to pass this information to qemu-xen (the upstream-based qemu); and indeed there is no way in qemu to make a disk read-only. ... Malicious guest administrators or (in some situations) users may be able to write to supposedly read-only disk images. --------------------------------------------- http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-announce/2015-09/msg00003.html
