TOP STORY
-
Extra! Extra! New Phrack Mag article just published today: VM escape - QEMU Case Study. Combination of CVE-2015-5165 (a memory-leak vulnerability) and CVE-2015-7504 (a heap-based overflow vulnerability) allows an attacker to break out from a VM and execute code on the target host.
HACKTIVITY
-
Stored XSS in community.ubnt.com [8 upvotes] - $500 bounty for this report to Ubiquity Networks by @vibhuti_i. Tenacity pays off (not beg bounty, mind you, valid arguments based on facts and good PoC’s :). Originally closed as informative, re-opened, bounty awarded. All lived (safely) happily ever after!
-
Subdomain takeover #2 at info.hacker.one [31 upvotes] for this report to ahem, HackerOne, by @ak1t4. Simple PoC and repeat of #202767.
LOTS of disclosed DoD reports on Hacktivity today, check it out.
