Trending vulnerabilities of July according to Positive Technologies.

The SecLab film crew went on vacation. Therefore, there was a choice: to skip the episode of “In the trend of VM” about the July vulnerabilities, or to make a video myself. Which is what I tried to do. And from the next episode we will return to SecLab again.

Remote Code Execution vulnerability - Artifex Ghostscript (CVE-2024-29510)

Remote Code Execution vulnerability – Artifex Ghostscript (CVE-2024-29510). Memory corruption allows to bypass the SAFER sandbox and execute arbitrary code.

Ghostscript is a PostScript and PDF document interpreter. It is used in ImageMagick, LibreOffice, GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus, CUPS, etc. It is available for many OS.

🔻 Ghostscript version 10.03.1, which fixes the vulnerability, was released on May 2.
🔻 On July 2, Codean Labs published a detailed analysis of this vulnerability and PoC. In the video they launch the calculator by opening a special ps file with the ghostscript utility or a special odt file in LibreOffice.
🔻 On July 10, a functional exploit was released on GitHub. And on July 19, a module for Metasploit was released.

👾 The media writes that the vulnerability is being exploited in the wild. However, it’s based on a single microblog post by some Portland developer. 🤷‍♂️ I think more reliable evidence of exploitation in attacks will appear soon.
