![]() ![]() Obviously, I did not click on the Firefox update notice URL or its link (posted below, but with disabling insertion).Īccordingly, I have reported the attempted malware exploit as a trademark violation to Mozilla Foundation and to Google's page for "Report Malicious Software"įrom all indications, I found this exploit after '''clicking on an unfamiliar link from a third party'''- that is, I visited a familiar website, and at the base of that familiar page was a slide show about amazing unknown facts about the Titanic disaster. Although I did not complete more than a single page of the slide show, and clicked on none of the third-party links, the host page code displayed by Firefox apparently included malicious code to "poison" the current session with a bogus Firefox update announcement and a malicious link resident in system memory for the current session. That enticing story would have led to a merry chase through 32 screen slides and who knows what questionable advertiser links- over which the host site claims no responsibility. Today, July 4, 2016, my browsing session was interrupted by a screen in screaming orange, with Firefox logo in its center, announcing "URGENT FIREFOX UPDATE- Download Now".įrom all indications, I found this exploit after clicking on an unfamiliar link from a third party- that is, I visited a familiar website, and at the base of that familiar page was a slide show about amazing unknown facts about the Titanic disaster. Should you have any questions or require assistance in responding to these vulnerabilities, please contact a support Racker via. Our security teams are actively monitoring the situation and will provide any associated updates via this blog. Customers not using our Managed Patching Service can install the latest Windows Updates themselves or can request that Rackspace perform patching by contacting Rackspace Support. Rackspace customers using our Managed Patching Service will be patched during normal patching cycles.įor those customers not using Rackspace Managed Patching, we recommend patching devices as soon as possible to mitigate these vulnerabilities. Rackspace engineers have performed an initial assessment and strongly recommend that customers review the advisories and ensure appropriate patches are installed. The vulnerability impacts Windows Servers versions 2012 to 2019 and has a low attack complexity rating. Exploiting this vulnerability would allow an attacker to bypass authentication using certificates or private keys when initiating a remote desktop session. The final vulnerability (tracked as CVE-2023-35352) exists within the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Microsoft recommends checking if “Message Queuing” service is running and TCP port 1801 is listening on the machine. This Windows component must be enabled for a system to be vulnerable. To successfully exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must send a specifically crafted malicious MSMQ packet to a MSMQ server, leading to a remote code execution. The fourth vulnerability (tracked as CVE-2023-32057) affects Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) with a CVSS of 9.8 (rated “critical”). We recommend that customers evaluate whether this service is or could be enabled, and either disable the service, or patch it to mitigate the vulnerability. Fortunately, RRAS is not installed or configured by default on Windows Servers. These vulnerabilities result in Remote Code Execution (RCE), do not require authentication or user interaction, and have a low attack complexity. Three vulnerabilities (tracked as CVE-2023-35365, CVE-2023-35366, and CVE-2023-35367) impact the “Routing and Remote Access service” (RRAS) on all current versions of Windows Server, as well as v2008. ![]() Of the vulnerabilities noted by Microsoft, Rackspace will highlight five in this post. Please note that Microsoft has not indicated if this vulnerability will be patched individually or included with the August patch release. This vulnerability impacts how Microsoft Office handles MSHTML files – Rackspace recommends patching CVE-2023-36884 when a patch is eventually released. Microsoft has released patches for all vulnerabilities except one Zero-Day ( CVE-2023-36884). ![]() On 11 July 2023, Microsoft declared 132 vulnerabilities, including 6 actively exploited Zero-Day and 9 critical vulnerabilities. ![]()
