Google disclosed Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability a flaw in Microsoft Edge earlier this week , after Microsoft failed to patch Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the bug in time . Now Google ’ s Project Zero team of security researchers are disclosing Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability yet another Windows 10 security flaw that Microsoft has again failed to patch Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability before Google ’ s imposed 90-day period . Neowin spotted that Google reported Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability two bugs to Microsoft in November , but the company only addressed Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability one of them with its recent Patch Tuesday fixes . The latest unpatched issue is an Elevation of Privilege which allows a normal user to gain administrator privileges on a system . Microsoft has rated Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability the flaw as “ important , ” but not “ critical ” as it can ’ t be exploited Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability remotely . It ’ s still an important issue to fix Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability , as an attacker could potentially combine this with a separate unknown remote code execution to gain administrator access , although that ’ s an unlikely scenario unless Microsoft doesn ’ t address Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability it promptly . It ’ s not clear when Microsoft intends to address Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the latest security flaw in Windows 10 , and the company still needs to solve Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the Edge vulnerability that was disclosed Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability by Google earlier this week . Microsoft hit back at Google ’ s approach to security patches last year , after discovering Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability a Chrome flaw and “responsibly” disclosed Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability it to Google so the company had enough time to patch Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability . Google ’ s policy to disclose after 90 days without a patch is often criticized and applauded in equal measure . There ’ s plenty of evidence to suggest security vulnerabilities are increasing in Windows and across the industry , and Microsoft has clearly struggled to fix Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability these two issues with plenty of notice . It can also be argued that Google is making rival software more secure with its efforts , making everyone ’ s software secure . However , Google also has competitive commercial interests , and Project Zero has been unusually aggressive in finding and publishing new vulnerabilities . Reports suggest Google ’ s Project Zero security team originated from the fallout around the 2009 Google hack , an intrusion blamed on an unpatched flaw in Microsoft ’ s Internet Explorer 6 browser . Google makes exceptions to its strict rules , with grace periods , and can even disclose Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability much sooner if the vulnerability is being actively exploited Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability . Google disclosed Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability a major Windows bug back in 2016 just 10 days after reporting Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability it to Microsoft , and the company has revealed Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability zero-day bugs in Windows in the past before patches are available Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability .

Users of both Windows and MacOS should , therefore , ensure updating Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability their systems and download the latest versions of the affected software to stay protected from these vulnerabilities . This month ’ s scheduled update bundle did not address Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability any security flaws in Flash Player . Nonetheless , lately , Adobe already patched Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability a critical Flash vulnerability already disclosed Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability to the public .

A critical vulnerability in open source automation tool Jenkins could allow permission checks to be bypassed through the use of specially-crafted URLs . Jenkins uses the Stapler web framework for HTTP request handling , which uses reflection to dispatch incoming web requests to controller code . This means that any public methods that start with get and include string and integer parameters are exposed to the web server . Because this is a common naming convention , this has led to multiple internal Jenkins methods being inadvertently exposed . The precise impact of this isn ’ t clear . The advisory notes that code execution could be a possible outcome – though on closer inspection , this seems to be a worst-case scenario . “ To clarify , the vulnerability we addressed Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability had nothing to do with arbitrary code execution , but was rather an issue discovered Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability by the Jenkins security team that allowed a small subset of existing Jenkins code to be invoked by a remote client , ” Daniel Beck , Jenkins security officer , told The Daily Swig in an email . “ While the known impact is pretty limited , we felt that the layer at which the vulnerability existed , and its potential warranted a higher score. ” These potential attacks include unauthenticated users being able to invalidate sessions when running with the built-in server , and users with overall/read permissions being able to create new user objects in memory . The advisory reads : “ Given the vast potential attack surface , we fully expect other attacks , that we are not currently aware of , to be possible on Jenkins releases that do not have this fix applied Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability . “ This is reflected in the high score we assigned Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability to this issue , rather than limiting the score to the impact through known issues. ” Beck added : “ Jenkins users should always keep their instances up to date . In this case , we released Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability updates for two LTS lines simultaneously for the first time , so admins could apply Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the update without having to go through a major version jump . “ We strive to fix Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability all security vulnerabilities in Jenkins and plugins in a timely manner. ” Reflection is also used by Apache Struts , via the OGNL library . Struts has suffered Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability a number of serious security flaws in recent years . In 2017 , a vulnerability in the framework was exploited Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability to expose Attack.Databreach the details of up to 148 million Equifax customers . Another flaw , revealed Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability in August 2018 , could lead to remote code execution . These issues underline the dangers of using reflection with untrusted data , and application architects would do well to avoid this unsafe practice .

Yesterday , Oracle released Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability its quarterly critical patch update ( CPU ) for Q3 2018 , the October edition , during which the company fixed Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability 301 vulnerabilities . Of the 301 flaws , 45 had a severity rating of 9.8 ( on a scale of 10 ) and one even received the maximum 10 rating . Vulnerabilities that receive this severity ratings this high can be exploited Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability remotely , with no authentication , and the exploit chain is accessible even to low-skilled attackers , even to those with no in-depth technical knowledge . Oracle 's security team will publish more information about each vulnerability in the coming days . This will give companies more time to update Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability affected applications before details about each flaw are generally available Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability to everyone , including the bad guys . For now , little information is known , but the vulnerability that received the 10.0 rating impacts Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability Oracle GoldenGate , a data replication framework that can work with large quantities of information in real-time . This issue doesn't impact Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability standalone GoldenGate installations , but also the numerous other Oracle product setups where GoldenGate can be deployed as an add-in option , such as the Oracle Database Server , DB2 , MySQL , Sybase , Terradata , and others . As for vulnerabilities rated 9.8 on the severity scale , these were reported affecting Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability products such as the Oracle Database Server , Oracle Communications , the Oracle Construction and Engineering Suite , the Oracle Enterprise Manager Products Suite , Oracle Fusion Middleware , Oracle Insurance Applications , Oracle JD Edwards , MySQL , Oracle Retail , the Oracle Siebel CRM , and the Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite . Despite the staggering number of patched flaws -- 301 -- , this is n't Oracle 's biggest recorded CPU . That title goes to July 2018 's CPU , which addressed Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability 334 vulnerabilities , 55 of which had a 9.8 severity rating . This was also Oracle 's last CPU for 2018 . According to the folks at ERPScan , in 2018 , Oracle patched Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability 1119 vulnerabilities , the same number of flaws it patched Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability last year in 2017 .

Oracle released Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability its latest Critical Patch Update on July 18 , fixing Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability 334 vulnerabilities across the company 's product portfolio . The company rated 61 of the vulnerabilities as having critical impact . Among the products patched Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability by Oracle are Oracle Database Server , Oracle Global Lifecycle Management , Oracle Fusion Middleware , Oracle E-Business Suite , Oracle PeopleSoft , Oracle Siebel CRM , Oracle Industry Applications , Oracle Java SE , Oracle Virtualization , Oracle MySQL and Oracle Sun Systems Products Suite . While there are issues of varying severity in the update , Oracle is blaming third-party components as being the cause of the majority of the critical issues . `` It is fair to note that bugs in third-party components make up a disproportionate amount of severe vulnerabilities in this Critical Patch Update , '' Eric Maurice , director of security assurance at Oracle , wrote in a blog post . `` 90 percent of the critical vulnerabilities addressed Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability in this Critical Patch Update are for non-Oracle CVEs . '' Of the 334 issues fixed Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability in the July Critical Patch Update , 37 percent were for third-party components included in Oracle product distributions . While many flaws were from third-party libraries , there were also flaws in Oracle 's own development efforts . Oracle 's namesake database was patched Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability for three issues , one of which is remotely exploitable without user authentication . Oracle 's Financial Services application received Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the highest total number of patches at 56 , with 21 identified as being remotely exploitable without user authentication . Oracle 's Fusion Middleware , on the other hand , got Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability 44 new security fixes , with 38 of them rated as being critical . Oracle Enterprise Manager Products were patched Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability for 16 issues , all of which are remotely exploitable without authentication . Looking at flaws in Java , Oracle 's July CPU provides Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability eight security fixes , though organizations likely need to be cautious when applying Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the patches , as certain functionality has been removed . `` Several actions taken to fix Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability Java SE vulnerabilities in the July CPU are likely to break the functionality of certain applications , '' security firm Waratek warned in an advisory . `` Application owners who apply Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability binary patches should be extremely cautious and thoroughly test their applications before putting Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability patches into production . '' The reason why the Oracle fixes could break application functionality is because Oracle has decided to remove multiple vulnerable components from its Java Development Kit ( JDK ) . At 334 fixed flaws , the July update is larger than last Critical Patch Update released Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability on Jan 15 , which provided Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability patches for 237 flaws . While the number of patches issues has grown , Matias Mevied , Oracle security researcher at Onapsis , commented that Oracle is working in the right way , fixing Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the reported vulnerabilities and is getting faster every year . `` Unfortunately , based in our experience , the missing part is that the companies still do n't implement the patches as soon as they should be , '' Mevied told eWEEK .

CIsco has issued Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability a critical patch of a patch for a Cisco Prime License Manager SQL fix . Cisco this week said it patched Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability a “ critical ” patch for its Prime License Manager ( PLM ) software that would let attackers execute random SQL queries . The Cisco Prime License Manager offers enterprise-wide management of user-based licensing , including license fulfillment . Released Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability in November , the first version of the Prime License Manager patch caused its own “ functional ” problems that Cisco was then forced to fix Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability . That patch , called ciscocm.CSCvk30822_v1.0.k3.cop.sgn addressed Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the SQL vulnerability but caused backup , upgrade and restore problems , and should no longer be used Cisco said . Cisco wrote that “ customers who have previously installed Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the ciscocm.CSCvk30822_v1.0.k3.cop.sgn patch should upgrade Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability to the ciscocm.CSCvk30822_v2.0.k3.cop.sgn patch to remediate the functional issues . Installing Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the v2.0 patch will first rollback the v1.0 patch and then install Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the v2.0 patch. ” As for the vulnerability that started this process , Cisco says it “ is due to a lack of proper validation of user-supplied input in SQL queries . An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP POST requests that contain malicious SQL statements to an affected application . A successful exploit could allow the attacker to modify and delete arbitrary data in the PLM database or gain shell access with the privileges of the postgres [ SQL ] user. ” The vulnerability impacts Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability Cisco Prime License Manager Releases 11.0.1 and later .

A privilege escalation flaw in McAfee 's True Key software remains open to exploitation despite multiple attempts to patch Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability it . This according to researchers with security shop Exodus Intel , who claim Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability that CVE-2018-6661 was not fully addressed Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability with either of the two patches McAfee released Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability for it . The flaw is an elevation of privilege issue in McAfee 's TrueKey password manager . An exploit can be carried out on a guest account by side-loading a specially-crafted DLL into True Key that would then allow for commands and code to be executed with system-level privileges . McAfee 's summary of the flaw , published Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability on March 30 , lists it as a 'high ' severity issue that was patched Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability in version 4.20.110 - which was released Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability in April . Exodus says that the April release did n't fully fix Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the bug , however . The researchers explain that McAfee 's patch only addresses Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability one of the libraries ( SDKLibAdapter ) that would allow the attack to take place , with another DLL ( NLog logging library ) being left vulnerable Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability to the same side-loading tactic . `` The patch is incomplete because it overlooks this and hence the nlog.dll can be utilized to allow arbitrary code execution just as the McAfee.TrueKey.SDKLibAdapter.dll could be used in versions prior to the patch , '' Exodus researchers Omar El-Domeiri and Gaurav Baruah said . `` Furthermore , any other McAfee signed binary can be used to exploit the vulnerability as long as the binary depends on a DLL outside the list of known DLLs . '' Exodus said Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability that it notified Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability McAfee of the issue back in August , prompting Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability a second patch that , unfortunately , also failed to fully remedy Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the issue . `` However , we tested the latest version available ( 5.1.173.1 as of September 7th , 2018 ) and found Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability that it remains vulnerable Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability requiring no changes to our exploit . '' To its credit , McAfee acknowledged Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability the issue and said it is still working to fully resolve Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the flaw . `` McAfee has been working with the researchers to confirm Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability their findings , and has provided customers mitigation guidance to allow them to protect themselves until the company can address Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the reported issues via automatic product updates , '' McAfee told The Register . In the meantime , McAfee says customers can use the True Key browser extension ( which is not subject to the DLL vulnerability ) rather than the Windows application .

If you own a Google Pixel or Google Pixel XL , you ’ re probably wondering where your November security patch update is . Although most Google devices — including older Nexus devices — received Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the patch at the beginning of the month as detailed below , the original Pixel lineup was left high and dry . Today , finally , the patch is here . You can wait for the OTA to hit your device , or you can use the links below to manually install . We ’ re not quite sure why this took so long , but hopefully , the December patch will be a bit more uniform . Right on schedule , Google has released Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability Android ’ s October security patch . As it ’ s the first update to make its way to the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL , it should include some bug fixes . Unfortunately , it won ’ t resolve Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the memory issues just yet . The November patch itself includes fixes for 17 security vulnerabilities . The most severe bugs included an issue in the media framework and the ability for a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code through a crafted file . Fortunately , Google doesn ’ t believe that either of these were used to harm users . The November security patch includes several bug fixes and improvements specifically for Pixel devices . As Google notes , this update should help with notification stability on Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 handsets as well as improve picture-in-picture performance on the four handsets . Sadly , the November security patch will likely be the last update pushed Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability to the Pixel C , Nexus 6P , and Nexus 5X . As Google only guarantees firmware upgrades for two years after a device is released and security patches for three , the search giant is no longer obligated to support the two phone or tablet . Of course , this doesn ’ t mean that your devices are no longer usable . Even if you no longer get official support from Google , there are large developer communities that build ROMs that brings Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the latest security patches and Android features to all of Google ’ s abandoned devices . If you don ’ t want to wait for the November security patch to make its way to your phone , you can download the latest factory image or OTA file from the links below . From there , you can either flash a fresh build to your phone or sideload the OTA update . The November security patch is also making its way to the Essential Phone . In addition to the resolved issues addressed Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability above , this update brings support for the company ’ s Audio Adapter HD module .
