These findings were identified in the ongoing analysis of the previously disclosed vulnerabilities affecting Ivanti Connect Secure, Policy Secure and ZTA gateways, and include potential persistence techniques that we are monitoring, even though to date they have not been deployed successfully in the wild.

∗∗∗ Lazarus and the FudModule Rootkit: Beyond BYOVD with an Admin-to-Kernel Zero-Day ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Avast discovered an in-the-wild admin-to-kernel exploit for a previously unknown zero-day vulnerability in the appid.sys AppLocker driver. Thanks to Avast’s prompt report, Microsoft addressed this vulnerability as CVE-2024-21338 in the February Patch Tuesday update. The exploitation activity was orchestrated by the notorious Lazarus Group, with the end goal of establishing a kernel read/write primitive. This primitive enabled Lazarus to perform direct kernel object manipulation in an updated version of their data-only FudModule rootkit, a previous version of which was analyzed by ESET and AhnLab.
