A nascent service called Dark Utilities has already attracted 3,000 users for its ability to provide command-and-control (C2) services with the goal of commandeering compromised systems. "It is marketed as a means to enable remote access, command execution, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and cryptocurrency mining operations on infected systems," Cisco Talos said in a report shared

The TEE_PopulateTransientObject and __utee_from_attr functions in Samsung mTower 0.3.0 allow a trusted application to trigger a memory overwrite, denial of service, and information disclosure by invoking the function TEE_PopulateTransientObject with a large number in the parameter attrCount.

Crow before v1.0+4 was discovered to contain a buffer overflow via the function qs_parse at query_string.h. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted input.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5547-1 - Le Wu discovered that the NVIDIA graphics drivers did not properly perform input validation in some situations. A local user could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Tal Lossos discovered that the NVIDIA graphics drivers incorrectly handled certain memory operations, leading to a null-pointer dereference. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Artem S. Tashkinov discovered that the NVIDIA graphics drivers Dynamic Boost D-Bus component did not properly restrict access to its endpoint. When enabled in non-default configurations, a local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

As many as 29 different router models from DrayTek have been identified as affected by a new critical, unauthenticated, remote code execution vulnerability that, if successfully exploited, could lead to full compromise of the device and unauthorized access to the broader network. "The attack can be performed without user interaction if the management interface of the device has been configured

By Edmund Brumaghin, Azim Khodjibaev and Matt Thaxton, with contributions from Arnaud Zobec. Executive Summary Dark Utilities, released in early 2022, is a platform that provides full-featured C2 capabilities to adversaries. It is marketed as a means to enable remote access, command execution, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and cryptocurrency mining operations on infected systems. Payloads provided by the platform support Windows, Linux and Python-based implementations and are hosted within the Interplanetary File System (IPFS), making them resilient to content moderation or law enforcement intervention. Since its initial release, we've observed malware samples in the wild leveraging it to facilitate remote access and cryptocurrency mining. What is "Dark Utilities?" In early 2022, a new C2 platform called "Dark Utilities" was established, offering a variety of services such as remote system access, DDoS capabilities and cryptocurrency mining. The operators of the s...
