Une grave faille de sécurité affecte le noyau Linux
Sécurité : La faille de sécurité affecte ksmbd, un serveur SMB intégré au noyau de Linux 5.15, et sa note de gravité avoisine le 10, selon la ZDI.

Joyeux Noël à tous les administrateurs de systèmes Linux ! Et en guise de cadeau : une grave faille de sécurité dans le noyau Linux.

C’est la Zero Day Initiative (ZDI), une société de recherche sur les failles zero-day, qui l’a découverte et annoncée juste avant le réveillon.

Cette vulnérabilité pourrait permettre à un attaquant à distance authentifié de divulguer des informations sensibles et d’exécuter du code sur les versions vulnérables du noyau Linux.

Roughly two-thirds of test digital vaccination applications commonly used today as safe passes and travel passports exhibit behavior that may put users' privacy at risk.

A novel Bluetooth relay attack can let cybercriminals more easily than ever remotely unlock and operate cars, break open residential smart locks, and breach secure areas.

The vulnerability has to do with weaknesses in the current implementation of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), a wireless technology used for authenticating Bluetooth devices that are physically located within a close range.

"An attacker can falsely indicate the proximity of Bluetooth LE (BLE) devices to one another through the use of a relay attack," U.K.-based cybersecurity company NCC Group said. "This may enable unauthorized access to devices in BLE-based proximity authentication systems.
