Apple added a feature called "inactivity reboot" in iOS 18.1. This is implemented in keybagd and the AppleSEPKeyStore kernel extension. It seems to have nothing to do with phone/wireless network state. Keystore is used when unlocking the device. So if you don't unlock your iPhone for a while... it will reboot!

🍎🐛🎙️Following my #poc2024 talk we are releasing a blogpost series at Kandji, detailing the vulnerabilities of diskarbitrationd and storagekitd I discussed in my "Apple Disk-O Party" talk.

First part is out, and covers CVE-2024-44175.

Veeam security advisory from 06 November 2024 Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager Vulnerability (CVE-2024-40715)

The contrast between two CUPS vulns is amazing. This one, CVE-2024-35235, seems to have flown completely under the radar - in total contrast to CVE-2024-47176. It was an LPE with an exploit chain that sounds very reliable. I only heard about it for the first time today.

In case you missed it, here's the recording of our #HEXACON2024 talk "Exploiting File Writes in Hardened Environments"!

It's a short and sweet 30-minute talk, so grab a coffee and sit back while @scryh goes from HTTP request to ROP chain in Node.js ☕

Palo Alto Networks Security Advisory: PAN-SA-2024-0015 Important Informational Bulletin: Ensure Access to Management Interface is Secured
Palo Alto Networks is aware of a claim of a remote code execution vulnerability via the PAN-OS management interface. They do not know the specifics of the claimed vulnerability.

We strongly recommend customers to ensure access to your management interface is configured correctly in accordance with our recommended best practice deployment guidelines. In particular, we recommend that you ensure that access to the management interface is possible only from trusted internal IPs and not from the Internet. The vast majority of firewalls already follow this Palo Alto Networks and industry best practice.

[RSS] Introduction to Procedural Debugging through Binary Libification [USENIX paper]

https://www.usenix.org/conference/woot24/presentation/brossard

%27In this article, we introduce the notions of "libification" and "procedural debugging" to facilitate partial debugging of binaries at the procedural level. These techniques allow the transformation of arbitrary dynamically linked ELF binaries into shared libraries, and the study of memory corruption bugs by directly calling the vulnerable functions, hence separating the memory corruption intraprocedural analysis from the reachability problem. %27

Woohoo! My PR got merged and deployed to prod so now you can search MITRE ATT&CK with the !attack Bang with @kagihq \o/

I remember a set of torrents for de-facto standard online content like Wikipedia, Arch Wiki, etc. but can't seem to find them.

Any clues?

If as it appears likely that 🇪🇺will have to start defending itself against Russia 🇷🇺 alone it may be good to realize our IT systems and society aren’t remotely ready for that. https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/cyber-security-pre-war-reality-check/

William Gibson talks about #hacking and #hackers, as well as the dangers of cyberspace, back in 1993.

strcpy can cause a buffer overflow

user finds strcpy in #curl code

user files a CRITICAL security report against #curl for using strcpy in source code. Proof? Well he did grep the code and shows that it does indeed use strcpy...

Never a dull moment.
