TOP VULNERABILITY THIS WEEK: Xen Project Releases Security Advisories

for Xen Hypervisor

NOTABLE RECENT SECURITY ISSUES SELECTED BY THE TALOS SECURITY INTELLIGENCE AND RESEARCH GROUP

Title: Xen Project Releases Security Advisories for Xen Hypervisor
Description: The Xen Project has released multiple security advisories
for vulnerabilities that have been identified in the Xen Hypervisor. In
total, 9 vulnerabilities were addressed with the most severe
(CVE-2015-7835) being a sandbox escape vulnerability. CVE-2015-7835
could allow malicious PV guest administrators to “escalate privilege so
as to control the whole system.” Note that only x86 systems with Xen
versions 3.4 and onward are vulnerable. The Xen Project has released
patches to address these defects.

Title: Rockwell Automation Addresses Vulnerabilities in Micrologix 1100
and 1400 PLC Systems
Description: Rockwell Automation has released security advisories for 5
vulnerabilities in the firmware for the Micrologix 1100 and 1400 PLC
systems. These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to perform a
stack-based buffer overflow, unrestricted file uploads, cross-site
scripting, or a SQL injection to crash the device, execute arbitrary
code, or perform other malicious activities. Rockwell Automation has
patch all the vulnerabilities except the buffer overflow vulnerability
in the Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1400 controllers, which will be
addressed in a forthcoming firmware update.
