Four-Year-Old Critical #Linux Wi-Fi Bug Allows System Compromise

A patch is currently under revision but has not yet been incorporated into the Linux kernel.

A critical Linux bug has been discovered that could allow attackers to fully compromise vulnerable machines. A fix has been proposed but has not yet been incorporated into the Linux kernel.

The flaw (CVE-2019-17666), which was classified as critical in severity, exists in the “rtlwifi” driver, which is a software component used to allow certain #Realtek Wi-Fi modules, used in Linux devices, to communicate with the Linux operating system.

DLA-1965-1 nfs-utils -- LTS security update

Date Reported:19 Oct 2019
Affected Packages:nfs-utils
Vulnerable:Yes
Security database references:
In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 940848.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2019-3689.

More information:
In the nfs-utils package, providing support files for Network File System (NFS) including the rpc.statd daemon, the directory /var/lib/nfs is owned by statd:nogroup. This directory contains files owned and managed by root. If statd is compromised, it can therefore trick processes running with root privileges into creating/overwriting files anywhere on the system.

For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.8-9+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your nfs-utils packages.

NSA and NCSC Release Joint Advisory on Turla Group Activity

The National Security Agency (NSA) and the United Kingdom National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) have released a joint advisory on advanced persistent threat (APT) group Turla—widely reported to be Russian. The advisory provides an update to NCSC’s January 2018 report on Turla’s use of the malicious Neuron, Nautilus, and Snake tools to steal sensitive data. Additionally, the advisory states that Turla has compromised—and is currently leveraging—an Iranian APT group’s infrastructure and resources, which include the Neuron and Nautilus tools.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) encourages users and administrators to review the following resources for more information:

Chinese Hackers Use New Malware to Backdoor #Microsoft #SQL Servers


New malware created by Chinese-backed Winnti Group has been discovered by researchers at ESET while being used to gain persistence on Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) systems.

The new malicious tool dubbed skip-2.0 can be used by the attackers to backdoor MSSQL Server 11 and 12 servers, enabling them to connect to any account on the server using a so-called "magic password" and hide their activity from the security logs.

Securing #Docker Containers

I made a guide on how to secure docker. I’ve split it up into 3 categories. Feedback is appreciated as this is more a compilation of other resources than anything else and I did not verify everything.
