Plus: Google patches 36 Android vulnerabilities, Cisco fixes three high-severity issues, and VMWare closes two “serious” flaws.

May has been another busy month of security updates, with Google’s Chrome browser and Android operating system, Zoom, and Apple’s iOS releasing patches to fix serious vulnerabilities.

Meanwhile, things have not run smoothly for Microsoft, which was forced to issue an out-of-band update after a disastrous Patch Tuesday during the month. And Cisco, Nvidia, Zoom, and VMWare all issued patches for pressing flaws.

Here’s what you need to know.

Apple iOS and iPadOS 15.5, macOS Big Sur 11.6.6, tvOS 15.5, watchOS 8.6

With Apple due to announce iOS 16 at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, the iPhone maker released probably its last major iOS 15 point update in May. It came with new features, but iOS and iPadOS 15.5 also fixed 34 security vulnerabilities, some of which are serious.

Security issues fixed in iOS 15.5 include flaws in the Kernel as well as in the WebKit browser engine, according to Apple’s support page. Thankfully, none of the issued patches in iOS and iPad 15.5 are being used in attacks, according to the company, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be if you don’t update now.

Meanwhile, users of macOS, tvOS, and the Apple Watch should update their devices ASAP, as Apple also issued an emergency update to patch an issue it believes is already being used in attacks. The flaw in Apple AVD, labeled CVE-2022-22675, could allow an app to execute code with Kernel privileges. Issues in the Kernel are as bad as it gets, so it’s worth checking and updating your devices right away.

Microsoft’s Flubbed May Patch Tuesday

Microsoft’s May Patch Tuesday was something of a disaster for the diligent businesses that installed it straight away.

On May 10, the firm issued security updates to fix 75 vulnerabilities, eight labeled as serious and three that were being exploited by attackers. The issues fixed in May’s Patch Tuesday were important, but there were soon problems for some Microsoft users, who reported authentication failures after installing the latest updates. It impacted people using the client and server Windows platforms and systems running all Windows versions, including Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022.

In a bid to fix the problem, the firm was forced to issue an out-of-band update for Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2008, 2012, 2016, 2019, and 2022 on May 20. The update won’t install automatically—you need to download it from Microsoft's update catalog.

Firefox 100.0.2

In early May, Mozilla released Firefox 100, including nine security fixes for its Firefox browser, of which seven were rated as high severity. But later in May, ethical hackers at the Pwn20wn competition in Vancouver were able to demonstrate how attackers could execute JavaScript code on devices running the latest Mozilla software. Mozilla fixed the issues in another update, Firefox 100.0.2, Firefox ESR 91.9.1, Firefox for Android 100.3, and Thunderbird 91.9.1. Click those update buttons.

Android

May’s Android security update is a big one, patching 36 vulnerabilities including an issue already being exploited by attackers. The already exploited flaw is a privilege escalation bug in the Linux Kernel known as “The Dirty Pipe.”

The flaw, which impacts newer Android devices running Android 12 and later, was disclosed by Google in February, but it’s taken a while to reach devices.

This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: ChromeLoader Browser Malware Spreading Via Pirated Games and QR Codes

**A new malvertising campaign has emerged in which ChromeLoader malware is being used to hijack browsers and steal data.**

A sudden, unexpected spike in browser hijacking campaigns utilizing ChromeLoader malware has been detected lately, stated Aedan Russell from Red Canary. Russell noted that the attackers aim to hijack browsers through the “pervasive and persistent” ChromeLoader malware that can modify browser settings and redirect the victim to advertisement sites.

The malvertising campaign is financially motivated as the attackers are part of a wider network of marketing affiliates and redirect the user to advertising sites.

**What is ChromeLoader?**

For your information, ChromeLoader is a Chrome browser extension distributed as ISO files through pay-per-install websites and fraudulent social media posts usually offering QR codes, pirated movies, or cracked video games.

A screenshot of a Tweet shared by researchers shows a redacted scannable malicious QR code that leads to ChromeLoader’s download site

ChromeLoader changes web browser settings to display search results that lure users to download unwanted software, visit dating sites or adult games platforms, and participate in fake surveys. It stands apart among other browser hijackers for its incredible persistence, infection route, and volume involving abuse of PowerShell.

**Attack Scenario**

According to Red Canary’s blog post, the malware operators use a malicious ISO archive file to invade the system. This file is promoted as a cracked executable for commercial software or a video game so that the victims can download it from malicious sites or torrents. Malware operators also use Twitter posts to promote the malicious executable.

When the file is double-clicked by a user in Windows 10 or later systems, it is mounted as a virtual CD-ROM drive. Although it appears to be a keygen or game crack titled CS\_Installer.exe, the executable in this ISO file actually unleashes the malware.

ChromeLoader then executes/decodes a PowerShell command to fetch an archive from the remote resource and gets loaded on the system as a Chrome extension. Afterward, the PowerShell removes the scheduled task and infects Chrome with a discreetly injected extension to hijack and manipulate the browser results.

Red Canary researchers identified that ChromeLoader operators also target macOS systems to manipulate Safari web browser and Chrome. The infection chain is similar on macOS, but attackers use DMG (Apple Disk Image) file instead of ISO.

Furthermore, instead of the executable containing the installer, in macOS, an installer bash script is used to download and decompress the malware extension onto the private/var/tmp directory.
