The Adobe January Patch Tuesday updates brought fixes for security vulnerabilities in Adobe Digital Editions and Adobe Connect . It has also released Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability patches for Flash Player , but they are not security fixes . This Tuesday , Adobe has rolled-out Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability scheduled monthly updates for its products . However , this time , it has particularly focused on Adobe Digital Editions and Adobe Connect for security fixes . Besides , the update bundle is relatively smaller , unlike the previous updates that addressed Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability tens of vulnerabilities . According to the security advisory , Adobe has fixed Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability an important security vulnerability in Adobe Digital Editions .

The patch addressed Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability two critical vulnerabilities ( CVE-2018-16011 and CVE-2018-16018 ) that could result in arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation respectively .

Apache Struts is an open-source web development framework for Java web applications . On Monday , the Apache Struts developers fixed Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability a high-impact vulnerability in the framework 's Jakarta Multipart parser . The vulnerability is very easy to exploit and allows attackers to execute system commands with the privileges of the user running the web server process . What 's even worse is that the Java web application does n't even need to implement file upload functionality via the Jakarta Multipart parser in order to be vulnerable . According to researchers from Qualys , the simple presence on the web server of this component , which is part of the Apache Struts framework by default , is enough to allow exploitation . `` Needless to say we think this is a high priority issue and the consequence of a successful attack is dire , '' said Amol Sarwate , director of Vulnerability Labs at Qualys , in a blog post . Companies who use Apache Struts on their servers should upgrade Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability the framework to versions 2.3.32 or 2.5.10.1 as soon as possible . Researchers from Cisco Talos have observed `` a high number of exploitation events . '' Some of them only execute the Linux command whoami to determine the privileges of the web server user and are probably used for initial probing . Others go further and stop the Linux firewall and then download an ELF executable that 's executed on the server . `` The payloads have varied but include an IRC bouncer , a DoS bot , and a sample related to the bill gates botnet , '' the Talos researchers said in a blog post . According to researchers from Spanish outfit Hack Players , Google searches indicate Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability 35 million web applications that accept `` filetype : action '' uploads and a high percentage of them are likely vulnerable Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability . It 's somewhat unusual that attacks have started so quickly after the flaw was announced Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability and it 's not yet clear whether an exploit for the vulnerability already existed in Vulnerability-related.DiscoverVulnerability closed circles before Monday . Users who ca n't immediately upgrade Vulnerability-related.PatchVulnerability to the patched Struts versions can apply a workaround that consists of creating a Servlet filter for Content-Type that would discard any requests not matching multipart/form-data . Web application firewall rules to block such requests are also available from various vendors
