Infrastructure Laundering: Blending in with the Cloud

In an effort to blend in and make their malicious traffic tougher to block, hosting firms catering to cybercriminals in China and Russia increasingly are funneling their operations through major U.S. cloud providers. Research published this week on one such outfit -- a sprawling network tied to Chinese organized crime gangs and aptly named "Funnull" -- highlights a persistent whac-a-mole problem facing cloud services.

New Aquabot Botnet Exploits CVE-2024-41710 in Mitel Phones for DDoS Attacks

A Mirai botnet variant dubbed Aquabot has been observed actively attempting to exploit a medium-severity security flaw impacting Mitel phones in order to ensnare them into a network capable of mounting distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2024-41710 (CVSS score: 6.8), a case of command injection in the boot process that could allow a malicious actor

GHSA-29qp-crvh-w22m: github.com/hashicorp/yamux's DefaultConfig has dangerous defaults causing hung Read

The default values for Session.config.KeepAliveInterval and Session.config.ConnectionWriteTimeout of 30s and 10s create the possibility for timed out writes that most aren't handling in their readers. Calls to Stream.Read on one side of a connection will hang until the underlying Session is closed if the corresponding Stream.Write call on the other side it's waiting for returns with ErrConnectionWriteTimeout. This happens in the case of network congestion between the two sides. If you keep Session.sendCh full (fixed capacity of 64) for ConnectionWriteTimeout, but for less than the KeepAliveInterval + ConnectionWriteTimeout (which would kill the Session), Stream.Write will return ErrConnectionWriteTimeout. The state of the underlying Session or Stream is not modified. When this happens, the other side's Stream.Read call that's waiting for that write will never return because there's no timeout for this edge-case. Since no keep alive timed out, you can continue to use the Session once...

Mirai Variant 'Aquabot' Exploits Mitel Device Flaws

Yet another spinoff of the infamous DDoS botnet is exploiting a known vulnerability in active attacks, while its threat actors are promoting it on Telegram for other attackers to use as well, in a DDoS-as-a-service model.

GHSA-qq5h-rjj9-q9qg: RuoYi vulnerable to Denial of Service by attackers with admin privileges

An issue in the reset password interface of ruoyi v4.8.0 allows attackers with Admin privileges to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by duplicating the login name of the account.

GHSA-r5w7-f542-q2j4: Potential DoS when using ContextLines integration

### Impact The [ContextLines integration](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/node/configuration/integrations/contextlines/) uses readable streams to more efficiently use memory when reading files. The ContextLines integration is used to attach source context to outgoing events. The stream was not explicitly closed after use. This could lead to excessive amounts of file handles open on the system and potentially lead to a Denial of Service (DoS). The ContextLines integration is enabled by default in the Node SDK (`@sentry/node`) and SDKs that run in Node.js environments (`@sentry/astro`, `@sentry/aws-serverless`, `@sentry/bun`, `@sentry/google-cloud-serverless`, `@sentry/nestjs`, `@sentry/nextjs`, `@sentry/nuxt`, `@sentry/remix`, `@sentry/solidstart`, `@sentry/sveltekit`). ### Patches Users should upgrade to version `8.49.0` or higher. ### Workarounds To remediate this issue in affected versions without upgrading to version `8.49.0` and above you can disable the Co...

GHSA-hp5j-2585-qx6g: CRI-O Path Traversal vulnerability

A vulnerability was found in CRI-O. A path traversal issue in the log management functions (UnMountPodLogs and LinkContainerLogs) may allow an attacker with permissions to create and delete Pods to unmount arbitrary host paths, leading to node-level denial of service by unmounting critical system directories.
