Native Auditing Tools – Performance, Cost, and Compliance Issues

As we covered in a previous post, data-centric security measures need to be implemented to meet compliance requirements and protect against complex, ever-evolving attacks. There are two primary approaches to implementing these measures: Native auditing, which uses a database server's built-in too...

Module to Probe Different Data Points in a CAN Packet

Scans between two CAN IDs and writes data at each byte position. It will either write a set byte value Default 0xFF or iterate through all possible values of that byte position takes much longer. Does not check for responses and is basically a simple blind fuzzer. This module requires Metasploit:...

The vulnerability of the QEMU hardware emulation software, which allows a hacker to trigger a service failure

The vulnerability of the QEMU hardware emulator for computers with Q35 chips stems from an overflow in the dynamic memory buffer. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow a local attacker to cause a system failure...

CVE-2017-8284

The disasinsn function in target/i386/translate.c in QEMU before 2.9.0, when TCG mode without hardware acceleration is used, does not limit the instruction size, which allows local users to gain privileges by creating a modified basic block that injects code into a setuid program, as demonstrated...

Code injection

DISPUTED The disasinsn function in target/i386/translate.c in QEMU before 2.9.0, when TCG mode without hardware acceleration is used, does not limit the instruction size, which allows local users to gain privileges by creating a modified basic block that injects code into a setuid program, as...

CVE-2017-8284

CVE-2017-8284 affects QEMU prior to 2.9.0. The vulnerable component is the disas_insn function in target/i386/translate.c, which in TCG mode without hardware acceleration does not limit instruction size. This can enable a local user to gain privileges by creating a modified basic block that injec...

Over The Air: Exploiting Broadcom’s Wi-Fi Stack (Part 2)

Posted by Gal Beniamini, Project Zero In this blog post we'll continue our journey into gaining remote kernel code execution, by means of Wi-Fi communication alone. Having previously developed a remote code execution exploit giving us control over Broadcom’s Wi-Fi SoC, we are now left with the ta...

IT Asset Inventory Systems and CMDBs: A Marriage Made in InfoSec Heaven

A key capability of an IT asset inventory system is being able to exchange data with CMDBs Configuration Management Databases. In fact, a common misconception is that organizations with CMDBs don’t need an IT asset inventory system because their functions overlap. While they have similar roles,...

Edit and Replay Network Traffic: tcpreplay

Edit and Replay Network Traffic Tcpreplay is a suite of GPLv3 licensed utilities for UNIX and Win32 under Cygwin operating systems for editing and replaying network traffic which was previously captured by tools like tcpdump and Ethereal / Wireshark . It allows you to classify traffic as client o...

Understanding the Capacity Management Challenges of Database Monitoring Solutions

Database monitoring requires hardware resources such as storage space and processing power that can withstand the volume of database usage in your organization. A higher usage volume will require more resources. So how can you optimize the resources used by your database monitoring solution? Do y...

The vulnerability of the QEMU hardware emulation software, which allows a hacker to trigger a service failure

The vulnerability of the sdhcisdmatransfermultiblocks function in the hw/sd/sdhci.c file of the QEMU hardware/software emulator is related to improper management of system resources. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker, operating locally, to trigger a service failure infinite loop...

The vulnerability of the QEMU hardware emulation software, which allows a hacker to trigger a service failure

The vulnerability of the NetRxPkt component of the QEMU hardware emulation software is caused by a buffer overflow. Exploiting this vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a service failure by engaging in actions related to VLANs...

Troubleshooting Retries on Provisioned Virtual Machines

What is a retry? When a target streams a vDisk image, it does so by requesting blocks of data from the PVS server, which in turn replies with the requested data. This data is broken down into several packets called fragments. A retry occurs when a target device requests data from the PVS server a...
