Doing so helps to prevent distributed denial of service attacks against the model, or other situations that would overwhelm the LLM with requests and disrupt its ability to process legitimate requests. The firewall can be deployed in front of any LLM, Molteni told The Register.

More than 178,000 SonicWall firewalls are still vulnerable to years-old vulnerabilities, an infosec reseacher claims. "SSD Labs previously stated that in both cases, cybercrims are"tasked with exploiting a stack overflow vulnerability to cause the DoS - remotely carried out by sending a malicious HTTP request.

Over 178,000 SonicWall firewalls exposed over the internet are exploitable to at least one of the two security flaws that could be potentially exploited to cause a denial-of-service (DoS)...

Security researchers have found over 178,000 SonicWall next-generation firewalls with the management interface exposed online are vulnerable to denial-of-service and potential remote code execution attacks."Using BinaryEdge source data, we scanned SonicWall firewalls with management interfaces exposed to the internet and found that 76% are vulnerable to one or both issues," said Jon Williams, a Senior Security Engineer at Bishop Fox.

Juniper Networks has released security updates to fix a critical pre-auth remote code execution vulnerability in its SRX Series firewalls and EX Series switches. CISA also warned in November of a Juniper pre-auth RCE exploit used in the wild, chaining four bugs tracked as CVE-2023-36844, CVE-2023-36845, CVE-2023-36846, and CVE-2023-36847 and impacted the company's SRX firewalls and EX switches.

EOL Sophos firewalls get hotfix for old but still exploited vulnerabilityOver a year has passed since Sophos delivered patches for a vulnerability affecting Sophos Firewalls that was being actively exploited by attackers, and now they have pushed additional ones to protect vulnerable EOL devices. Attackers are trying to exploit Apache Struts vulnerabilityAttackers are trying to leverage public proof-of-exploit exploit code for CVE-2023-50164, the recently patched path traversal vulnerability in Apache Struts 2.

Over a year has passed since Sophos delivered patches for a vulnerability affecting Sophos Firewalls that was being actively exploited by attackers, and now they have pushed additional ones to protect vulnerable EOL devices. "In December 2023, we delivered an updated fix after identifying new exploit attempts against this same vulnerability in older, unsupported versions of the Sophos Firewall," the company shared on Monday by updating of the original security advisory.
