A maliciously crafted TIF, PICT, TGA, or RLC files in Autodesk Image Processing component may be forced to read beyond allocated boundaries when parsing the TIFF, PICT, TGA, or RLC files. This vulnerability may be exploited to execute arbitrary code.

By Jon Munshaw.  Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter.  As I wrote about last week, I’ve been diving a lot into apps’ privacy policies recently. And I was recently made aware of a new type of app I never knew existed — family trackers.  There are countless mobile apps for parents to track their children or other family members based on their location, phone usage, and even driving speed. As an anxious soon-to-be-parent, this sounds intriguing to me — it’d be a supped-up version of Find my Friends on Apple devices so I’d never have to ask my teenager (granted, I’m many years away from being at that stage of my life) when they were coming home or where they were.  Just as with all other types of mobile apps, there are pitfalls, though.   Life360, one of the most popular of these types of apps and even tells users what their maximum driving speed was on a given trip, was found in December 2021 to be selling precise location data on its users, potentia...

Microsoft has revised its mitigation measures for the newly disclosed and actively exploited zero-day flaws in Exchange Server after it was found that they could be trivially bypassed. The two vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2022-41040 and CVE-2022-41082, have been codenamed ProxyNotShell due to similarities to another set of flaws called ProxyShell, which the tech giant resolved last year.

Nicknamed ProxyNotShell, a new exploit used in the wild takes advantage of the recently published Microsoft Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability CVE-2022-41040 and a second vulnerability, CVE-2022-41082 that allows Remote Code Execution (RCE) when PowerShell is available to unidentified attackers. Based on ProxyShell, this new zero-day abuse risk leverage a chained attack similar to

Parsing a maliciously crafted X_B file can force Autodesk AutoCAD 2023 and 2022 to read beyond allocated boundaries. This vulnerability in conjunction with other vulnerabilities could lead to code execution in the context of the current process.

Microsoft on Friday disclosed that a single activity group in August 2022 achieved initial access and breached Exchange servers by chaining the two newly disclosed zero-day flaws in a limited set of attacks aimed at less than 10 organizations globally. "These attacks installed the Chopper web shell to facilitate hands-on-keyboard access, which the attackers used to perform Active Directory
