New research reveals the strategies hackers use to hide their malware distribution system, and companies are rushing to release mitigations for the “Downfall” processor vulnerability on Intel chips.

Dell BIOS contain a Time-of-check Time-of-use vulnerability in BIOS. A local authenticated malicious user with physical access to the system could potentially exploit this vulnerability by using a specifically timed DMA transaction during an SMI in order to gain arbitrary code execution on the system.

Dell BIOS contains an improper authentication vulnerability. A malicious user with physical access to the system may potentially exploit this vulnerability in order to modify a security-critical UEFI variable without knowledge of the BIOS administrator.

Dell Storage Integration Tools for VMware (DSITV) 06.01.00.016 contain an information disclosure vulnerability. A local low-privileged malicious user could potentially exploit this vulnerability to retrieve an encryption key that could aid in further attacks.

Dell PowerScale OneFS, 8.0.x-9.5.x, contains an improper handling of insufficient privileges vulnerability. A local privileged attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to elevation of privilege and affect in compliance mode also.

An issue in langchain langchain-ai v.0.0.232 and before allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted script to the PythonAstREPLTool._run component.

Crypto wallets implementing the Lindell17 TSS protocol might allow an attacker to extract the full ECDSA private key by exfiltrating a single bit in every signature attempt (256 in total) because of not adhering to the paper's security proof's assumption regarding handling aborts after a failed signature.

Microsoft has patched a total of 74 flaws in its software as part of the company's Patch Tuesday updates for August 2023, down from the voluminous 132 vulnerabilities the company fixed last month. This comprises six Critical and 67 Important security vulnerabilities. Also released by the tech giant are two defense-in-depth updates for Microsoft Office (ADV230003) and the Memory Integrity System

In MongoDB Ops Manager v5.0 prior to 5.0.22 and v6.0 prior to 6.0.17 it is possible for an authenticated user with project owner or project user admin access to generate an API key with the privileges of org owner resulting in privilege escalation.

Dell XtremIO X2 XMS versions prior to 6-4-1.11 contain an improper access control vulnerability. A remote read only user could potentially exploit this vulnerability to perform add/delete QoS policies which are disabled by default.
