TOP VULNERABILITY THIS WEEK: Oracle’s Java woes continued this week,
with a detail-free announcement of a pair of new vulnerabilities by
Security Explorations and confirmation that a previously patched
vulnerability is now being actively exploited in the wild.
NOTABLE RECENT SECURITY ISSUES SELECTED BY THE SOURCEFIRE VULNERABILITY RESEARCH TEAM
Title: New Java vulnerabilities announced, old one exploited in the wild
Description: Polish security firm Security Explorations has privately
disclosed details of two vulnerabilities in Java to Oracle, while
publicly disclosing their existence. The firm stated that these new
vulnerabilities do affect the newest released version of Java 1.7.
Information concerning these vulnerabilities is not yet public and no
proofs of concept are known outside of this firm’s shared information
with Oracle. Meanwhile, Java 7u11 exploit CVE-2013-0431 is being
exploited in the wild via multiple exploit kits; users are urged to
patch immediately.

Title: Vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player (CVE-2013-0633) seeing broad exploitation
Description: Since last week’s newsletter, which noted that this attack
had been limited in scope, this particular vulnerability has seen
mainstream adoption, including inclusion in the “Gong Da” exploit kit.
Originally traveling primarily through email embedded in Word documents,
this now-patched vulnerability is now being exploited heavily over HTTP.
Users are strongly encouraged to patch as soon as possible.

Title: Apple iPhone lock screen bypass
Description: The Apple iPhone on version <= 6.1.2 can be bypassed by a
certain sequence of commands issued to the phone. It involves accessing
the phone through the “Make an emergency call” feature. It’s not trivial
to perform without practice, and a patch is currently being tested by
Apple.
