Cisco says it will issue patch ‘as soon as possible’ for bugs hackers are trying to exploit

Unidentified hackers are trying to exploit critical vulnerabilities in router software made by Cisco while the networking giant scrambles to address the issues. The bugs, which Cisco revealed Saturday, could allow an attacker to remotely break into a device running the software and exhaust the memory on the device. That, in turn, could destabilize “interior and exterior routing protocols” on an affected network, Cisco said in an advisory. It’s unclear when a patch will be ready; “as soon as possible” is all a Cisco spokesperson would say. The company made recommendations for mitigating the vulnerability until a patch is available. The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency encouraged users to check for “indicators of compromise’ or signs of malicious cyber activity. It’s unclear who is attempting to exploit the vulnerability. With the advisory out, cybersecurity incident responders will be watching for any additional hacking. Justin Elze, a […]

Supermicro BMCs were susceptible to remote attacks, according to firmware security startup

Researchers from an enterprise firmware security startup have found an issue with a key component in various Supermicro motherboards that could allow attackers to remotely access some of an organization’s most valuable assets. Issues in the baseboard management controllers of Supermicro’s X9, X10 and X11 platforms that could allow an attacker to easily connect to a server and mount a virtual disk drive to the BMC, according to researchers from Eclypsium. After mounting a drive, an attacker could modify a server, implant malware, or even disable the device entirely. “Threats operating at this level can easily subvert traditional security measures and put the device and the integrity of all its data at risk,” Eclypsium notes in its research, which was released Tuesday. “As such, organizations should begin to treat these layers of security with the attention that it deserves.” The BMC is a processor that measures the physical state of a […]
