*** Is the polkit Grinch Going to Steal your Christmas?, (Wed, Dec 17th) *** --------------------------------------------- Alert Logic published a widely publizised blog outlining a common configuration problem with Polkit. To help with dissemination, Alert Logic named the vulnerability Grinch [1] . In some ways, this isnt so much a vulnerability, as more a common overlypermissive configuration of many Linux systems. It could easily be leveraged to escalate privileges beyond the intent of the polkitconfiguration. Lets first step back: In the beginning, there was sudo. Sudo served the Unix community well for many... --------------------------------------------- https://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=19077&rss

*** Your Browser is (not) Locked *** --------------------------------------------- Most ransomware has a binary file that needs to be executed before it can infect your PC. Ransomware usually relies on social engineering or exploits to infect unsuspecting users. However, some malware authors are bypassing this requirement with a new trick - browser lockers. Unlike traditional ransomware threats that lock the entire desktop, browser lockers only lock the web browser of an infected PC. Most other malware needs a user (or other malware) to manually run it. Browser lockers... --------------------------------------------- http://blogs.technet.com/b/mmpc/archive/2014/12/17/your-browser-is-not-locke...

*** Exploit Kit Evolution During 2014 - Nuclear Pack, (Thu, Dec 18th) *** --------------------------------------------- This is a guest diary submitted by Brad Duncan. Nuclear exploit kit (also known as Nuclear Pack) has been around for years. Version 2.0 of Nuclear Pack was reported in 2012 [1] [2]. Blogs like malware.dontneedcoffee.com have mentioned version 3.0 of Nuclear Pack in posts during 2013 [3] [4]. This month, Nuclear Pack changed its traffic patterns. The changes are significant enough that I wonder if Nuclear Pack is at version 4. Or is this merely an evolution of version 3, as weve seen throughout --------------------------------------------- https://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=19081&rss
