New HTTP/2 Vulnerability Exposes Web Servers to DoS Attacks
2024-04-04 11:15

New research has unveiled a vulnerability within the HTTP/2 protocol, known as HTTP/2 CONTINUATION Flood, that allows for denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. This issue, discovered by security researcher Bartek Nowotarski and reported to CERT/CC on January 25, 2024, arises from improper handling of CONTINUATION frames—a component used to transmit extended header lists within a single stream. CERT/CC's advisory highlights that attackers exploiting this vulnerability could send continuous CONTINUATION frames without concluding them with an END_HEADERS flag, leading to potential server crashes or significant performance drops due to out-of-memory conditions or CPU exhaustion.

Attack surface management (ASM) and vulnerability management (VM) are often confused, and while they overlap, they’re not the same. The main difference between attack surface management and...

Hardware Vulnerability in Apple’s M-Series Chips
2024-03-28 11:05

The threat resides in the chips' data memory-dependent prefetcher, a hardware optimization that predicts the memory addresses of data that running code is likely to access in the near future. The breakthrough of the new research is that it exposes a previously overlooked behavior of DMPs in Apple silicon: Sometimes they confuse memory content, such as key material, with the pointer value that is used to load other data.

AI framework vulnerability is being used to compromise enterprise servers (CVE-2023-48022)
2024-03-27 11:02

Attackers are leveraging a vulnerability in Anyscale's Ray AI software to compromise enterprise servers and saddle them with cryptominers and reverse shells."We observed hundreds of compromised clusters in the past three weeks alone. Each cluster uses a public IP address, and most clusters contain hundreds to thousands of servers. There are hundreds of servers that are still vulnerable and exposed."

Security Vulnerability in Saflok’s RFID-Based Keycard Locks
2024-03-27 11:01

The technique is a collection of security vulnerabilities that would allow a hacker to almost instantly open several models of Saflok-brand RFID-based keycard locks sold by the Swiss lock maker Dormakaba. By exploiting weaknesses in both Dormakaba's encryption and the underlying RFID system Dormakaba uses, known as MIFARE Classic, Carroll and Wouters have demonstrated just how easily they can open a Saflok keycard lock.
