New Malvertising Campaign Uses Fake Windows News Portal to Distribute Malicious Installers

A new malvertising campaign has been found to employ fake sites that masquerade as legitimate Windows news portal to propagate a malicious installer for a popular system profiling tool called CPU-Z. "This incident is a part of a larger malvertising campaign that targets other utilities like...

Malvertiser copies PC news site to deliver infostealer

The majority of malvertising campaigns delivering malicious utilities that we have tracked so far typically deceive victims with pages that are almost the exact replica of the software vendor being impersonated. For example, we have seen fake websites appearing like the real Webex, AnyDesk or...

VulnCheck KEV: CVE-2017-15302

In CPUID CPU-Z through 1.81, there are improper access rights to a kernel-mode driver e.g., cpuz143x64.sys for version 1.43 that can result in information disclosure or elevation of privileges, because of an arbitrary read of any physical address via ioctl 0x9C402604. Any application running...

VulnCheck KEV: CVE-2017-15303

In CPUID CPU-Z before 1.43, there is an arbitrary memory write that results directly in elevation of privileges, because any program running on the local machine while CPU-Z is running can issue an ioctl 0x9C402430 call to the kernel-mode driver e.g., cpuz141x64.sys for version 1.41...

CPUID CPU-Z Arbitrary Read/Write Privilege Elevation Vulnerability

CPUID CPU-Z is a free software package for collecting information about system devices. A security vulnerability exists in versions of CPUID CPU-Z prior to 1.43, which originates from a program that can send ioctl 0x9C402430 calls to the kernel mode driver to exploit the vulnerability by writing ...
