Linux admins and security practitioners face significant challenges in keeping their Linux systems secure amidst the constant threat of kernel bugs. Understanding and mitigating the vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel is essential in safeguarding you...
If you're running a Linux distro on your computer or use an Android smartphone, you should install the latest updates immediately as a severe security vulnerability has been found and patched in the Linux kernel.
Linux has yet another high-severity vulnerability that makes it easy for untrusted users to execute code capable of carrying out a host of malicious actions including installing backdoors, creating unauthorized user accounts, and modifying scripts or binaries used by privileged services or apps.
Details have emerged about a now-patched high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel that could potentially be abused to escape a container in order to execute arbitrary commands on the container host.
A new report dives deep into technical aspects of a Linux backdoor now tracked as Bvp47 that is linked to the Equation Group, the advanced persistent threat actor tied to the U.S. National Security Agency.
Here we go again. Another obnoxious security bug, CVE-2022-0435: A Remote Stack Overflow in The Linux Kernel was found by Appgate senior exploit developer Samuel Page while he was poking around at a Linux heap overflow security bug, CVE-2021-43267 from November 2021. Page’s discovery is a remotely and locally reachable stack overflow in the Linux kernel’s Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol networking module.
Multiple security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in Canonical's Snap software packaging and deployment system, the most critical of which can be exploited to escalate privilege to gain root privileges.
A number of security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in 42 Gears' SureMDM device management solution that could be weaponized by attackers to perform a supply chain compromise against affected organizations.
There are three things you can be sure of in life: death, taxes – and new CVEs. For organizations that rely on CentOS 8, the inevitable has now happened, and it didn't take long.
Researchers have disclosed details of two critical security vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-45467) in Control Web Panel, an open-source Linux control panel software used for deploying web hosting environments, that could be abused as part of an exploit chain to achieve pre-authenticated remote code execution (RCE) on affected servers.
The Wiz research team has discovered a security issue in Azure App Service on Linux. This exposed the source code of client applications written in PHP, Python, Ruby or Node, which were deployed using “Local Git”.
Threat actors now exploit the critical Apache Log4j vulnerability named Log4Shell to infect vulnerable devices with the notorious Dridex banking trojan or Meterpreter.
Jen Easterly, the director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has warned the recently-revealed Log4j vulnerability was “one of the most serious” she’s seen in her entire career, “if not the most serious”.
A local privilege escalation security vulnerability (CVE-2021-3939) could allow attackers to gain root access on Ubuntu systems by exploiting a double-free memory corruption bug in GNOME's AccountsService component.
A recent research paper by a team at University of California, Riverside, shows the existence of previously overlooked side channels in the Linux kernels that can be exploited to attack DNS servers. According to the researchers, the issue with DNS roots in its design, that never really took security as a key concern and that made it extremely hard to retrofit strong security features into it.
CloudLinux’s security platform for Linux-based websites and web servers contains a high-severity PHP deserialization bug, leaving web servers vulnerable to code execution and tekeover.
A critical Linux kernel bug (CVE-2021-43267) exists in a TIPC message type that allows Linux nodes to send cryptographic keys to each other, and could allow remote takeover.
