Securing videoconferencing solutions is just one of many IT security challenges small businesses are facing, often with limited financial and human resources.

A new targeted phishing campaign has zoomed in on a two-factor authentication solution called Kavach that's used by Indian government officials. Cybersecurity firm Securonix dubbed the activity STEPPY#KAVACH, attributing it to a threat actor known as SideCopy based on tactical overlaps with prior attacks. ".LNK files are used to initiate code execution which eventually downloads and runs a

A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the way OpenImageIO v2.3.19.0 processes RLE encoded BMP images. A specially-crafted bmp file can write to arbitrary out of bounds memory, which can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.

Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities exist in the image output closing functionality of OpenImageIO Project OpenImageIO v2.4.4.2. Specially crafted ImageOutput Objects can lead to multiple null pointer dereferences. An attacker can provide malicious multiple inputs to trigger these vulnerabilities.This vulnerability applies to writing .fits files.

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the DDS native tile reading functionality of OpenImageIO Project OpenImageIO v2.3.19.0 and v2.4.4.2. A specially-crafted .dds can lead to denial of service. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the IFFOutput channel interleaving functionality of OpenImageIO Project OpenImageIO v2.4.4.2. A specially crafted ImageOutput Object can lead to leaked heap data. An attacker can provide malicious input to trigger this vulnerability.

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the OpenImageIO::add_exif_item_to_spec functionality of OpenImageIO Project OpenImageIO v2.4.4.2. Specially-crafted exif metadata can lead to stack-based memory corruption. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.

A heap based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in tile decoding code of TIFF image parser in OpenImageIO master-branch-9aeece7a and v2.3.19.0. A specially-crafted TIFF file can lead to an out of bounds memory corruption, which can result in arbitrary code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.

A heap out of bounds read vulnerability exists in the OpenImageIO master-branch-9aeece7a when parsing the image file directory part of a PSD image file. A specially-crafted .psd file can cause a read of arbitrary memory address which can lead to denial of service. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.
