Critical Red Hat Updates

Ahead of Patch Tuesday, a new security advisory has been issued for Red Hat.

A recent Red Hat security advisory has been issues for Red Hat Enterprise 6 and 7 relating to Java version 7 and 8.

A CVSS score of 8.6 indicates this has a high probability of being used to targets environments soon, although we are unaware at present if attacks are actively being targeted. Red Hat vulnerabilities of this severity are not often released which couldn’t come at a more inconvenient time with Microsoft Patch Tuesday only 4 days away.

Security Updates

  1. IBM JDK: buffer overflow in jio_snprintf() and jio_vsnprintf() (CVE-2018-12547)
  2. OpenJDK: memory disclosure in FileChannelImpl (Libraries, 8206290) (CVE-2019-2422)
  3. IBM JDK: missing null check when accelerating Unsafe calls (CVE-2018-12549)
  4. libjpeg-turbo: Divide By Zero in alloc_sarray function in jmemmgr.c (CVE-2018-11212)
  5. Oracle JDK: unspecified vulnerability fixed in 8u201 (Deployment) (CVE-2019-2449)

All Syxsense customers can find these updates available in their console, and because of the critical nature of the vulnerability and the huge exposure of Java, we recommend this be prioritized as quickly as possible.

By News, UncategorizedNo Comments

Linux Patches Security Concerns with Firefox

Almost at urban legend status, Red Hat rarely rates updates as critical. Well, it’s not myth now, as an update is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7. With a CVSS score of 8.8, we are recommending this update be actioned quickly.
An important fact to note, after installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
This update upgrades Firefox to version 60.5.0 ESR.

Security Fixes:
• Mozilla: Use-after-free parsing HTML5 stream (CVE-2018-18500)
• Mozilla: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 65 and Firefox ESR 60.5 (CVE-2018-18501)
• Mozilla: Privilege escalation through IPC channel messages (CVE-2018-18505)
