I ended up at an urgent care clinic earlier this week and found out I have strep throat. The doctor who examined me asked me what medicine I had taken prior to my visit to help alleviate my throat pain, to which I replied, \u201cI took a multi-symptom liquid medicine because the pain was keeping me awake.\u201d To my amazement, he said, \u201cYou\u2019re over 21 years old, right? You would have been better off with some good alcohol and ibuprofen because what you took is the same thing.\u201d I thought he was joking (he wasn\u2019t), but while I didn\u2019t know what I had at the time, I was just looking for the quick fix for lack of sleep and throat pain, realizing I wasn\u2019t solving the root issue that would end up being a bacterial infection.<\/p>\n

Speaking of diagnosing a root cause, Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) vulnerability researcher Abdul-Aziz Hariri published a blog this week detailing a buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat. ZDI has seen an increase in Adobe vulnerability submissions in the past couple of years, especially in the Acrobat Reader product line. Abdul-Aziz explores the root cause of the buffer overflow that affected the setIntent Optional Content Groups (OCG) JavaScript function. JavaScript is an attractive hotbed for attackers and the JavaScript engine within Acrobat is no exception. You can read the full blog here<\/a> to learn how Adobe tried to patch the vulnerability, only to be faced with a patch evasion within hours, and how they eventually corrected the issue.<\/p>\n

Microsoft Zero-Day Published<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the ZDI published details of a Microsoft Windows vulnerability in accordance with its disclosure policy<\/a>. The flaw exists in Windows\u2019 JScript component that can allow an attacker to execute malicious code on vulnerable systems. More specifically, the flaw exists within the handling of Error objects in JScript. According to ZDI, Microsoft is working on a patch, and at the time of this blog posting, no known exploits exist. You can get more details on the vulnerability here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zero-Day Filters<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are 17 new zero-day filters covering five vendors in this week\u2019s Digital Vaccine (DV) package. A number of existing filters in this week\u2019s DV package were modified to update the filter description, update specific filter deployment recommendation, increase filter accuracy and\/or optimize performance. You can browse the list of published advisories<\/a> and upcoming advisories<\/a> on the Zero Day Initiative<\/a> website. You can also follow the Zero Day Initiative on Twitter @thezdi<\/a> and on their blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
