Microsoft fixed CVE-2024-38213 last Tuesday. It was discovered in the wild by ZDI threat hunter @gothburz. Today, he makes the details of the vulnerability and how it's being used by threat actors. https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2024/8/14/cve-2024-38213-copy2pwn-exploit-evades-windows-web-protections

Two days ago, NIST finalized three post-quantum cryptography standards. Today, we are announcing an open-source Rust implementation of one of these standards, SLH-DSA, now available in RustCrypto! https://blog.trailofbits.com/2024/08/15/we-wrote-the-code-and-the-code-won/

NEW: Every Pixel phone released since 2017 has a hidden Verizon app, "Showcase.apk," with deep system access that has an unpatched flaw. Google's response to the vulnerability caused Palantir to ditch Android altogether. @lhn has the scoop: https://www.wired.com/story/google-android-pixel-showcase-vulnerability/

the most recent hackerone issue was filed because the user googled "[another project] bug bounty program", clicked the first link (to #curl's bug-bounty) and entered an issue about a completely different project...

Long thread ahead about training a classifier of "good/batch matches" for #Diaphora.

So, the whole idea that I have been working on for quite some time already to try to, somehow, improve matching in Diaphora is the following: Train a model to better determine if a pair of functions in two binaries (ie, a match between a function A in binary X, and function B in binary Y) is correct or not.

Did someone already create a tarpit that targets the AI scraping bots?

Just learned that in French cybersecurity threats are called "cybermenace" and I will only be using this term from now on

I’m in shock

So the Department of Energy emailed me

The folks from Xiaomi didn't pick up their Pwnie for Lamest Vendor Response, so we're keeping it safe for them until they decide to come accept it.

Taylorism is a management philosophy based on using scientific optimization to maximize labor productivity and economic efficiency.

Here's the result of making the false Taylorist assumption that the output of scientific research is scientific papers—the more, faster, and cheaper, the better.

Me to Microsoft: You can avoid a whole class of vulnerability if non-admin users can't create subdirectories off of the root directory. You should fix this.

MS: Nah.

Me: Well, you folks should probably at least run Crassus on your code.

MS: Nah.

In our writeup https://sector7.computest.nl/post/2024-06-cve-2024-20693-windows-cached-code-signature-manipulation/ about CVE-2024-20693, we noted that Microsoft did not structurally address the trust of "$KERNEL.*" Extended Attributes on SMB shares. Today's Patch Tuesday addresses #CVE-2024-38133, doing the same thing again, but in this case even an USB disk would work!

I think this may be the first time we got an "Exploitation More Likely", so achievement unlocked I guess?
