Critical zero-day Citrix CVE-2023-3519 is still being exploited two months after Citrix released a patch. IONIX research found that 19% of the CVE-2023-3519 vulnerabilities are still unmitigated in comparison to only 3% among IONIX customers. In addition, IONIX customers were able to resolve this critical risk three times faster.

Docker has revolutionized how developers work by offering a powerful platform for creating, shipping, and running container applications. It helps developers conquer the complexity of application development and significantly increases software shipping frequency. Despite setbacks in recent years, Docker brings home $50 million in revenue every year, driven by the ongoing demand for new applications.

On October 3, 2023, the curl team preannounced a pending fix for a high-severity vulnerability, which impacts both libcurl and curl. Snyk products help you identify and fix vulnerable packages and containers, but this vulnerability impacts curl, a command-line tool that many developers use on a daily basis. It's also distributed with many operating systems, so we thought it would be beneficial to provide some tips on how you can get it upgraded on your system.

Researchers and vendors have conducted an investigation into volumetric DDoS attacks in the wild between August – October 2023 that has resulted in the discovery of a novel “rapid reset” technique that leverages stream multiplexing, a feature of the widely-adopted HTTP/2 protocol. Disclosed today, the HTTP/2 rapid reset vulnerability is being tracked as CVE-2023-44487 and has been designated a High severity vulnerability with a CVSS score of 7.5 (out of 10).

As referenced in our previous post, the software development world has been bracing for additional details regarding two vulnerabilities associated with cURL, one of which was assessed as critical by the maintainer and original creator of the project. The wait ended this morning, as a fixed version was released and details about the vulnerabilities were provided.

On October 5, 2023, we released a blog post discussing the Curl Vulnerability, the critical security issue in Curl and libcurl version 8.4.0, known as CVE-2023-38545. In addition, there was another low-severity vulnerability, CVE-2023-38546. These vulnerabilities were scheduled to be disclosed on October 11, creating significant anticipation. Now, that long-awaited date has arrived, bringing with it detailed information about the vulnerabilities, along with the release of the necessary patches.

In the world of cybersecurity, zero-day vulnerabilities, zero-day attacks, and zero-day exploits keep many CISOs up at night. These terms, often shrouded in mystery and intrigue, denote a significant risk to digital systems and the sensitive data they hold. Understanding the intricacies of zero-day vulnerabilities and the exploits that leverage them is crucial for individuals, organizations, and governments seeking to fortify their defenses against cyber threats.

Knowing what vulnerabilities interest malicious actors is a critical step in assessing the risk of vulnerabilities found in your environment. On August 3rd, CISA released their Top Routinely Exploited Vulnerabilities report for the year 2022 and inside comes little surprise as to most of the culprits. Bugs tied to ransomware incidents continue to dominate the eyes of the agencies behind these joint advisories in hopes that the number of complete owns will diminish.
