In today’s episode, we dive into security vulnerabilities affecting Roundcube Webmail, Progress WhatsUp Gold, and Microsoft 365, discussing how flaws such as CVE-2024-42008, CVE-2024-4885, and a bypass method using CSS could allow attackers to steal sensitive information or execute remote code. We also explore the innovative Linux kernel exploitation technique “SLUBStick,” which elevates limited heap vulnerabilities to arbitrary memory read-and-write capabilities, potentially leading to privilege escalation. Tune in to hear expert insights on how these vulnerabilities could be exploited and the recommended mitigations to safeguard your systems. Video Episode: https://youtu.be/47sS-AKK2qo
