ISTR report for 2011
- https://secure.marketwatch.com/story...k=MW_news_stmp
April 30, 2012 - "... while the number of vulnerabilities decreased by 20 percent, the number of malicious attacks continued to skyrocket by 81 percent. In addition, the report* highlights that advanced targeted attacks are spreading to organizations of all sizes and variety of personnel, data breaches are increasing, and that attackers are focusing on mobile threats... Symantec blocked more than 5.5 billion malicious attacks in 2011, an increase of 81 percent over the previous year. In addition, the number of unique malware variants increased to 403 million and the number of Web attacks blocked per day increased by 36 percent... Targeted attacks are growing, with the number of daily targeted attacks increasing from 77 per day to 82 per day by the end of 2011. Targeted attacks use social engineering and customized malware to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. These advanced attacks have traditionally focused on public sector and government; however, in 2011, targeted attacks diversified. Targeted attacks are no longer limited to large organizations. More than 50 percent of such attacks target organizations with fewer than 2,500 employees, and almost 18 percent target companies with fewer than 250 employees... As tablets and smartphones continue to outsell PCs, more sensitive information will be available on mobile devices. Workers are bringing their smartphones and tablets into the corporate environment faster than many organizations are able to secure and manage them. This may lead to an increase in data breaches as lost mobile devices present risks to information if not properly protected. Recent research by Symantec shows that 50 percent of lost phones will not be returned and 96 percent (including those returned) will experience a data breach... Mobile vulnerabilities increased by 93 percent in 2011. At the same time, there was a rise in threats targeting the Android operating system. With the number of vulnerabilities in the mobile space rising and malware authors not only reinventing existing malware for mobile devices, but creating mobile-specific malware geared to the unique mobile opportunities, 2011 was the first year that mobile malware presented a tangible threat to businesses and consumers..."

They see updates as an annoyance that will mean they they can’t use their Mac for 10 minutes to a half-hour... roughly 1 out of every 4 Snow Leopard users are at least six months behind in terms of applying major software updates. Nearly 15% are more than a year behind, meaning they have skipped at least two major OS X updates and are easy prey for any exploit that targets security holes that were fixed in those updates... If (Apple) talks to the press in an effort to reach owners of Macs who aren’t aware they’ve been infected, they risk puncturing the 'Macs don’t get viruses' image they’ve cultivated through the years. So the company has chosen to remain silent, which is shameful..."

Apple patches serious security holes in iOS devices
- http://atlas.arbor.net/briefs/index#-480279256
Severity: Elevated Severity
Published: Monday, May 07, 2012
New patches provide protection for recent security holes in iOS.
Analysis: Some of these security holes were used in "hacking contents" such as pwn2own. It is likely that others are aware of the security holes, especially now that patches have been released and are surely being analyzed by attackers to spot the vulnerabilities. Considering the hot trends in mobile attacks, users are encouraged to deploy these updates as soon as possible.

Apple closes numerous holes in Mac OS X and Safari
- http://atlas.arbor.net/briefs/
Severity: Elevated Severity
Published: Friday, May 11, 2012
Now that malware authors are paying more attention to the OS X platform, keeping current on updates is going to become more important. This patch also fixes the recent plaintext password leakage issue.
Analysis: The Flashback trojan infected and still infects a substantial number of OS X systems. Imagine for a moment that they decided to take advantage of one of these security flaws - the password leakage issue with older versions of filevault - and compromised many passwords. Some of those passwords are bound to be re-used elsewhere, which could lead an attacker deeper into an enterprise. Creative and dedicated attackers will use any possible method to further their campaigns. This is just one scenario. Recent events show us that OS X is a viable target for criminals therefore patches need to be deployed in a timely manner to reduce risks.

PHP v5.4.3 - PoC remote exploit in the wild
- https://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=13255
Last Updated: 2012-05-19 - "There is a remote exploit in the wild for PHP 5.4.3 in Windows, which takes advantage of a vulnerability in the com_print_typeinfo function. The php engine needs to execute the malicious code, which can include any shellcode like the the ones that bind a shell to a port. Since there is no patch available for this vulnerability yet, you might want to do the following:
• Block any file upload function in your php applications to avoid risks of exploit code execution.
• Use your IPS to filter known shellcodes like the ones included in metasploit.
• Keep PHP in the current available version, so you can know that you are not a possible target for any other vulnerability like CVE-2012-2336* registered at the beginning of the month.
• Use your HIPS to block any possible buffer overflow in your system."

RE: iOS 6 release / Apple maps...

Sep 28, 2012 - "Apple CEO Tim Cook says the company is "extremely sorry" for the frustration that its maps application has caused and it's doing everything it can to make it better. Cook said in a letter posted online Friday that Apple "fell short" in its commitment to make the best possible products for its customers. He recommends that people try alternatives by downloading competing map apps from the App Store while Apple works on its own maps products.... 'had released an update to its iPhone and iPad operating system last week that replaced Google Maps with Apple's own maps application. But users complained that the new maps have fewer details, lack public transit directions and misplace landmarks, among other problems."

In addition to patching Java, Oracle releases patches for other products as well.
Analysis: While the Java security issues get the most press due it's widespread exploitation, the Oracle database and other products are often used to protect sensitive information and should also be protected. Some of these other products don't have the same attack footprint as Java however if an attacker is already inside the network then other Oracle software is easier to reach and exploit.

Adobe PDF Reader 0-day in-the-wild ...
- https://krebsonsecurity.com/2012/11/...-adobe-reader/
Nov 7th, 2012 - "Software vendor Adobe says it is investigating claims that instructions for exploiting a previously unknown critical security hole in the latest versions of its widely-used PDF Reader software are being sold in the cybercriminal underground. The finding comes from malware analysts at Moscow-based forensics firm Group-IB, who say they’ve discovered that a new exploit capable of compromising the security of computers running Adobe X and XI (Adobe Reader 10 and 11) is being sold in the underground for up to $50,000. This is significant because — beginning with Reader X– Adobe introduced a “sandbox” feature aimed at blocking the exploitation of previously unidentified security holes in its software, and so far that protection has held its ground. But according to Andrey Komarov, Group-IB’s head of international projects, this vulnerability allows attackers to sidestep Reader’s sandbox protection...

... Adobe spokeswoman Wiebke Lips said the company was not contacted by Group-IB, and is unable to verify their claims, given the limited amount of information currently available... Group-IB says the vulnerability is included in a new, custom version of the Blackhole Exploit Kit, a malicious software framework sold in the underground that is designed to be stitched into hacked Web sites and deploy malware via exploits such as this one... consumers should realize that there are several PDF reader option apart from Adobe’s, including Foxit, PDF-Xchange Viewer, Nitro PDF and Sumatra PDF*."
