Yesterday, proponents of net neutrality enjoyed a victory. (Note: Mac users should also install the Adobe patch, which fixes 47 security flaws, even though they are not susceptible to the Windows vulnerability or this PDF exploit.) Senate votes to preserve net neutrality Then, the attack uses a Windows bug that allows the newly-inserted code to jump over Adobe’s sandbox boundaries and enter the mainframe, giving the attackers total control of the system.īoth the Windows patch and Adobe patch are available, and should be installed in every Windows system right away to prevent the potential harm this exploit could cause. Upon execution, the attack first uses an Adobe Reader flaw that allows bad actors to remotely write code straight into the memory. The exploit was discovered on a public repository for malicious files in what must have been early days for the malware, for it had no payload yet. Net neutrality wins vote in Senate, Adobe and Windows flaws add to PDF exploit, and Telegram hit with malware.ĭangerous PDF exploit combines two vulnerabilitiesįortunately, patches exist for both vulnerabilities in question, but if an unpatched Windows system suffers infection from this PDF exploit, all bets are off.
