Kernel: KVM: nVMX: use-after-free of the hrtimer for emulation of the preemption timer

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the way the Linux kernel's KVM hypervisor emulates a preemption timer for L2 guests when nested =1 virtualization is enabled. This high resolution timerhrtimer runs when a L2 guest is active. After VM exit, the syncvmcs12 timer object is stopped. The...

Active C2 Discovery Using Protocol Emulation Part1 (HYDSEVEN NetWire)

Malware C2 addresses can be an important IOC to detect known threats. In order to obtain C2 information, we first need malware samples which are then analyzed dynamically or statically. However the analysis task is often times not straightforward. Increasingly anti-analysis methods are implemente...
