Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new botnet malware family called Gorilla (aka GorillaBot) that is a variant of the leaked Mirai botnet source code. Cybersecurity firm NSFOCUS, which identified the activity last month, said the botnet "issued over 300,000 attack commands, with a shocking attack density" between September 4 and September 27, 2024. No less than 20,000 commands designed

A critical security flaw has been disclosed in the Apache Avro Java Software Development Kit (SDK) that, if successfully exploited, could allow the execution of arbitrary code on susceptible instances. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2024-47561, impacts all versions of the software prior to 1.11.4. "Schema parsing in the Java SDK of Apache Avro 1.11.3 and previous versions allows bad actors to execute

Perfctl malware is hard to detect, persists after reboots, and can perform a breadth of malicious activities.

ABB Cylon Aspect version 3.07.02 suffers from an authenticated arbitrary file disclosure vulnerability.

Linux servers are the target of an ongoing campaign that delivers a stealthy malware dubbed perfctl with the primary aim of running a cryptocurrency miner and proxyjacking software. "Perfctl is particularly elusive and persistent, employing several sophisticated techniques," Aqua security researchers Assaf Morag and Idan Revivo said in a report shared with The Hacker News. "When a new user logs

Schema parsing in the Java SDK of Apache Avro 1.11.3 and previous versions allows bad actors to execute arbitrary code. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.11.4  or 1.12.0, which fix this issue.

Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in Apache Commons IO. The `org.apache.commons.io.input.XmlStreamReader` class may excessively consume CPU resources when processing maliciously crafted input. This issue affects Apache Commons IO: from 2.0 before 2.14.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.14.0 or later, which fixes the issue.

Armed with a staggering arsenal of at least 20,000 different exploits for various Linux server misconfigurations, perfctl is everywhere, annoying, and tough to get rid of.
