- McAfee Virus Scan for Linux – state.actor
A system running Intel’s McAfee VirusScan Enterprise for Linux can be compromised by remote
attackers due to a number of security vulnerabilities. Some of these vulnerabilities can be chained
together to allow remote code execution as root.
Techniques
- Practical Reverse Engineering Part 5 – Digging Through the Firmware – jcjc-dev.com
In part 4 we extracted the entire firmware from the router and decompressed it. As I explained then,
you can often get most of the firmware directly from the manufacturer’s website: Firmware upgrade
binaries often contain partial or entire filesystems, or even entire firmwares.

- macOS FileVault2 Password Retrieval – blog.frizk.net
macOS FileVault2 let attackers with physical access retrieve the password in clear text by plugging in
a $300 Thunderbolt device into a locked or sleeping mac. The password may be used to unlock the

Bluetooth implementations, say researchers at Somerset Recon say.
- 0day drive-by exploit against Fedora
If you run a mainstream distribution of Linux on a desktop computer, there’s a good chance security
researcher Chris Evans can hijack it when you do nothing more than open or even browse a specially
crafted music file. And in the event you’re running Chrome on the just-released Fedora 25, his code-execution attack works as a classic drive-by.- 0-days hitting Fedora and Ubuntu open desktops to a world of hurt – arstechnica.com
