Investigation revealed that the vulnerability ESXi versions 6.0, 6.5 and 6.7 running on any platform, and the Horizon cloud desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) platform version 8.x. could be exploited to perform remote code execution.
OpenSLP as used in ESXi and the Horizon DaaS appliances has a heap overwrite issue. VMware has evaluated the severity of this issue to be in the Critical severity range with a maximum CVSSv3 base score of 9.8.
A malicious actor with network access to port 427 on an ESXi host or on any Horizon DaaS management appliance may be able to overwrite the heap of the OpenSLP service resulting in remote code execution.
Note: In order to remove the risk of exploitation of the OpenSLP security issue, the ESXi patches should be applied. However, This workaround is applicable ONLY to Horizon DaaS appliances. Do not apply this workaround to other VMware products. Download the workaround for the install version from the MyVMware portal. 6.1.5 : BZ-2467227-Disable_SLPD_service_permanently_615_Hotfix 6.1.6 : BZ-2467226-Disable_SLPD_service_permanently_616_Hotfix 7.0.0 : BZ-2467225-Disable_SLPD_service_permanently_700_Hotfix 8.0.0 : BZ-2467219-Disable_SLPD_service_permanently_800_Hotfix 8.0.1 : BZ-2467224-Disable_SLPD_service_permanently_801_Hotfix
A vulnerability in the REST API of Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI) and Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager (EPNM) releases prior to 3.0.2 could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the underlying operating system.
ngCERT Advisory on Scranos Malware
Scranos is a Trojan horse that steals information from the compromised computer. It may also download potentially malicious files. Scranos cloaks itself as cracked software or apps that pose as legitimate programs, such as ebook readers, video players, drivers, and even security products. Upon execution, a rootkit driver is installed to hide the malware.
Windows 10 Task Scheduler Zero-Day Vulnerability
Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler is a set of Microsoft Windows components that allows for the execution of scheduled tasks. The exploit "functions reliably on 32- and 64-bit Windows 10 platforms, as well as Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019.
Millions of computers powered by Intel processors are affected by vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious actors to obtain potentially sensitive information. The side-channel attack methods, named ZombieLoad, Rogue In-Flight Data Load,(RIDL) and Fallout, are similar to the notorious Meltdown and Spectre. The attack methods work against both PCs and cloud environments, and they can be launched against most Intel CPUs.
Windows BlueKeep Vulnerability
BlueKeep Vulnerability exists within the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) used by the Microsoft Windows Operating Systems (OSs). An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform remote code execution on an unprotected system.
