In order to fix a zero-day bug that it claimed has been actively exploited in the wild, Apple has released Rapid Security Response updates for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and the Safari web browser.
Threat actors may be able to execute arbitrary code when processing specially crafted web content due to the WebKit bug, identified as CVE-2023-37450. Improved checks, according to the iPhone manufacturer, were used to address the problem.
An unnamed researcher is credited with finding and reporting the error. In this case, as in the majority of similar ones, little is known about the type, scope, and threat actor who was responsible for the attacks.
Apple did, however, point out in a brief advisory that it is "aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited. ".
iOS 16.5 is the update. iPadOS 16.0.5, 1 (a). macOS Ventura 13.4 and item (a). 1(a), as well as Safari 16.5. 2, which support the following operating system versions, are accessible for devices.
Apple iOS 16.5. 1 and iPad OS 16.5. 1.
Ventura 13.4 for macOS.
1.
MacOS Monterey and macOS Big Sur.
Since the beginning of 2023, 10 zero-day vulnerabilities in Apple's software have been fixed. It also comes weeks after the company released patches to address three zero-days, of which two were turned into weapons by unknown actors as part of an intelligence operation known as Operation Triangulation.
Apple has withdrawn the software update following reports that after applying the patches, Safari would display an "Unsupported Browser" error message for websites like Facebook, Instagram, and Zoom.
Cupertino stated that it is "aware of an issue where recent Rapid Security Responses might prevent some websites from displaying properly" in a support document published on July 11, 2023. Customers experiencing issues are advised to uninstall the update. OS X 16.5 Point5. 1 (b), iOS 16.0.5. macOS 13.4 and paragraph 1(b). To fix the issue, it is anticipated that 1(b) will be made available "soon.".

The monthly security updates from Google for the Android operating system fix 46 new software flaws. Three of these flaws have been found to be actively used in focused attacks.
A memory leak flaw affecting the Arm Mali GPU driver for Bifrost, Avalon, and Valhall chips is one of the vulnerabilities tracked as CVE-2023-26083. In a prior attack that took place in December 2022, this specific vulnerability was exploited, allowing spyware to infiltrate Samsung devices.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) decided that this vulnerability was serious enough to warrant issuing a patching order for federal agencies in April 2023.
Another important flaw, designated CVE-2021-29256, is a high-severity problem that affects particular versions of the Bifrost and Midgard Arm Mali GPU kernel drivers. Due to a bug, a non-privileged user could escalate their privileges to the root level and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.
The third exploited flaw, CVE-2023-2136, is a critical error in Skia, Google's free, cross-platform 2D graphics library. It was first identified as a zero-day flaw in the Chrome browser, giving a remote attacker who has control of the renderer process the ability to perform a sandbox escape and install remote code on Android devices.
In addition to these, Google's July Android security bulletin highlights a critical vulnerability, CVE-2023-21250, affecting the Android System component. This problem poses a particularly dangerous risk of remote code execution without user interaction or additional execution privileges.
These security updates are released in two patch levels. The first patch level, released on July 1, focuses on fundamental Android components and fixes 22 security flaws in the Framework and System components.
On July 5, the second patch level was released. It addresses 20 vulnerabilities in closed-source and kernel components made by Arm, Qualcomm, MediaTek, Imagination Technologies, and the Kernel.
It's crucial to keep in mind that the effects of the fixed vulnerabilities may go beyond the supported Android versions (11, 12, and 13), possibly affecting older OS versions that are no longer officially supported.
For its Pixel devices, Google has also released specific security updates that address 14 vulnerabilities in Qualcomm, Pixel, and Kernel components. Privilege elevation and denial-of-service attacks may be the result of two of these serious flaws.

Yes, and it is nice to purchase directly from the manufacturer's official website or from authorized retailers or resellers.
Avoid buying from third-party sellers on platforms like online marketplaces, as there is a higher risk of counterfeit or tampered devices.
When purchasing from a physical store, check the packaging and the authenticity of the device. Look for any signs of tampering or counterfeit packaging.

If you want to buy hardware wallet it is better to buy a new one, do not buy it from anyone who isn’t verified and don’t buy from a place that is not official because they are selling it cheaper. If your device gets broken, buy a new one and use your seed phrase to recover your money into the new device.
To securely buy a hardware wallet, follow the step of conducting thorough research to identify reputable and trusted hardware wallet brands.
After that, there's a need to look for brands with a solid track record, positive user reviews, and a strong reputation for security.

#1537 Articles and News » Discover New 'StackRot' Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in the Linu » 2023-07-06 23:38:02
- thrive
- Replies: 0
Information about a recently discovered security hole in the Linux kernel that could give a user elevated privileges on a target host has come to light.
The vulnerability affects Linux versions 6.1 through 6.4 and is known as StackRot (CVE-2023-3269, CVSS score: 7.8). There is currently no proof that the flaw has been used in the wild.
According to Peking University security researcher Ruihan Li, "StackRot is a Linux kernel vulnerability found in the memory management subsystem. It affects almost all kernel configurations and requires minimal capabilities to trigger.".
The actual memory deallocation is delayed until after the RCU grace period because maple nodes are freed using RCU callbacks, it should be noted. Consequently, it is thought to be difficult to exploit this weakness. ".
It was addressed in stable versions 6.1 after being disclosed responsibly on June 15, 2023. 37, 6.3. 6, and the number 11. 1 as of July 1, 2023, following a two-week effort under Linus Torvalds' direction.
By the end of the month, a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit and additional technical details about the bug are anticipated to be made available.
Virtual memory areas (VMAs), a contiguous range of virtual addresses that could be the contents of a file on disk or the memory a program uses during execution, are managed and stored by a data structure called maple tree, which was introduced in the Linux kernel 6.1 as a replacement for red-black tree (rbtree).
It's described as a use-after-free bug that could be used by a local user to compromise the kernel and gain more power by taking advantage of the maple tree's ability to undergo node replacement without properly obtaining the MM write lock. ".
"Anyway, I think I actually want to move all the stack expansion code to a whole new file of its own, rather than have it split up between mm/mmap. C and memory/mm. I made an effort to keep the patches _fairly_ minimal because this will need to be backported to the initial maple tree VMA introduction anyhow, said Torvalds.
#1538 Articles and News » Sophisticated Malware Created by Iranian Hackers Targets Windows & Mac » 2023-07-06 23:23:36

A fresh wave of spear-phishing attacks that infect both Windows and macOS operating systems with malware have been connected to the Iranian nation-state actor known as TA453.
"TA453 eventually used a variety of cloud hosting providers to deliver a novel infection chain that deploys the newly identified PowerShell backdoor GorjolEcho," Proofpoint said in a recent report.
When given the chance, TA453 ported its malware and tried to start a NokNok infection chain with an Apple flavor. In its never-ending search for intelligence, TA453 also used multiple persona impersonation. ".
TA453, also referred to as APT35, Charming Kitten, Mint Sandstorm, and Yellow Garuda, is a danger organization connected to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which has been active at least since 2011. The adversary's use of CharmPower (also known as GhostEcho or POWERSTAR), an updated version of a Powershell implant, was recently highlighted by Volexity.
A nuclear security specialist at a U.S. company received phishing emails from the hacking group in the attack sequence, which the enterprise security firm found in mid-May 2023.
S.
foreign policy-oriented think tank based in delivered a malicious link to a Google Script macro that would direct the target to a Dropbox URL hosting a RAR archive.
Malware for Mac and Windows.
An LNK dropper that starts a multi-stage process to deploy GorjolEcho, which then displays a fake PDF document while covertly awaiting next-stage payloads from a remote server, is present in the file.
A second email containing a ZIP archive containing a Mach-O binary that poses as a VPN program but is actually an AppleScript that connects to a remote server to download the NokNok backdoor based on a Bash script is what TA453 is said to have done after realizing that the target is using an Apple computer.
For its part, NokNok fetches up to four modules, each of which has the ability to collect system metadata, information about installed applications, information about currently running processes, and persistence settings using LaunchAgents.
The modules "mirror a majority of the functionality" of the modules linked to CharmPower, with some source code overlaps between NokNok and macOS malware that the group was previously linked to in 2017.
The actor also uses a fake file-sharing website, which is probably used to track successful victims and collect visitor fingerprints.
The researchers noted that "TA453 continues to adapt its malware arsenal, deploying novel file types, and targeting new operating systems," adding that the actor "continues to work toward its same end goals of intrusive and unauthorized reconnaissance" while confounding detection efforts.

When a crypto exchange is hacked, it is should not be necessarily considered a scam until proven as a scam. A hack refers to unauthorized access to an exchange's infrastructure or user funds by external attackers.
It typically occurs when security vulnerabilities are exploited, leading to theft or loss of cryptocurrency.
While hacks are unfortunate incidents, they do not imply that the exchange itself is fraudulent or intentionally involved in stealing funds.
