A critical vulnerability was recently found in Django, which a remote attacker could possibly use to bypass certain validations, potentially leading to the compromise of confidential information and loss of access to critical systems. With a low attack complexity, no privileges required to exploit, and a high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact, it is crucial that all impacted users update immediately to protect against damaging exploits.

CISA Warns of Active Exploitation of 7 Linux Vulns - Are You at Risk?

Several important security issues have been found in the Linux kernel, which could result in denial of service (DoS) attacks, the exposure of sensitive information, unauthorized execution of management commands, and privilege escalation attacks. With a low attack complexity and a high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact, it is critical that all impacted users update immediately to protect against  attacks leading to loss of system access and the compromise of critical systems and confidential data.

Important Kernel Vulns Fixed: How To Prevent DoS, Privilege Escalation

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22https://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

Several important security issues have been found and fixed in the Linux kernel, which could result in privilege escalation attacks, denial of service (DoS) attacks leading to crashes or kernel deadlock, the execution of arbitrary code, or the exposure of sensitive information. With a high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact, it is crucial that all impacted users update immediately to protect against downtime and the compromise of critical systems and confidential data.

Severe PHP Vuln Threatens System Confidentiality - How To Tell if You Are at Risk

A severe flaw in PHP could possibly allow applications to accept any password as valid, contrary to expectations, potentially leading to the compromise of critical systems and sensitive information. With a low attack complexity, no user interaction required, and a high confidentiality impact, it is crucial that all impacted users update immediately to protect the privacy and confidentiality of their systems and their sensitive data. Read on to learn if you are at risk, and how to update. Our experts also share best practices for PHP security that you don't want to miss!

Protect Against Linux Malware Using Automated Patch Management

Threat actors frequently exploit unpatched security vulnerabilities in software and applications to infect Linux systems with harmful malware, but what happens when we implement a comprehensive, automated patch management solution to identify and remediate security issues before they are exploited by adversaries? We put this approach to the test, and it proved to be highly effective in stopping Linux malware attacks.

Chromium Vulns Expose Users to Potential Malware, Arbitrary Code Execution

Threat actors are exploiting Chromium in a big way this week with multiple vulns that were originally fixed in Chrome, including a heap corruption attack requiring no privileges to exploit. All but the latest versions could lead to remote attackers exposing you to malware or executing arbitrary code on your computer. Chrome and Chromium users should update immediately to be protected against more than a dozen security fixes.

Important Firefox Vulns Could Lead to Spoofing, Malware Attacks - Update Now!

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22https://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

Multiple important security issues have been identified in Firefox, which could be used to trick users into installing malware, or result in potentially exploitable crashes, memory corruption, spoofing attacks, or the execution of arbitrary code. With a high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact, it is critical that all affected users update immediately. Learn if you are impacted, and how to secure your systems against these dangerous bugs.
