Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →CVE-2018-0777 is a Chakra JIT out-of-bounds write triggered by a loop induction variable whose ValueInfo becomes inconsistent between prepass and optimization phases; look for JIT-compiled JavaScript with induction variables modified by a no-op add (e.g., i += 0) inside a conditional, followed by large-range array writes. ↗
- →The vulnerability is in Microsoft Edge (HTML-based) scripting engine (Chakra); a web-based attack vector involves a specially crafted website delivered to the victim via Microsoft Edge. ↗
- →The exploit marker value 2.3023e-320 used as the OOB write payload in the PoC can serve as a distinctive byte-level signature in JavaScript payloads targeting this vulnerability. ↗

Privilege escalation can occur in the SUSE useradd.c code in useradd, as distributed in the SUSE shadow package through 4.2.1-27.9.1 for SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 (SLE-12) and through 4.5-5.39 for SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 (SLE-15). Non-existing intermediate directories are created with mode 0777 during user creation. Given that they are world-writable, local attackers might use this for privilege escalation and other unspecified attacks. NOTE: this would affect non-SUSE users who took useradd.c code from a 2014-04-02 upstream pull request; however, no non-SUSE distribution is known to be affected.

CVE-2018-0777 [HIGH] Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Description: A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Microsoft Edge (HTML-based). The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially cra

[HIGH] Vulnerability Spotlight: Remote code execution bug in SQLite
Cory Duplantis of Cisco Talos discovered this vulnerability.
### Executive summary
SQLite contains an exploitable use-after-free vulnerability that could allow an attacker to gain the ability to remotely execute code on the victim machine. SQLite is a client-sidedatabase management system contained in a C programming library. SQLite implements the Window Functions feature of SQL, which allows queries over a subset, or “window,” of rows. This specific vulnerability lies in that “window” function.
In accordance with our coordinated disclosure policy, Cisco Talos worked with SQLite to ensure that these issues are resolved and that an update is available for affected customers.
