The Full Disclosure list sponsored by secunia.com published an exploit regarding the CVE-2010-3081 vulnerability. It is triggered because of a stack pointer underflow regarding the function compat_alloc_user_space() inside arch/x86/include/asm/compat.h. This exploit is in the wild and it is highly recommended to implement the patch located at http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=c41d68a513c71e35a14f66d71782d27a79a81ea6.

You might wonder why do I tell you to patch a vulnerability that has been published 12 days ago, right? Two days ago, the operations team of my company noticed a strange behavior on a specific linux system. First thing I did was to review the latest vulnerabilities for the linux distribution installed on the machine and found CVE-2010-3081. Digging a little bit more let me found  an excellent tool made by Ksplice that told me the machine was exposed to the exploit.

Download the tool here: https://www.ksplice.com/support/diagnose-2010-3081.c. If you want the binary, download it here: https://www.ksplice.com/support/diagnose-2010-3081.

Can't patch right now? Use the following workaround: echo ':32bits:M:0:x7fELFx01::/bin/echo:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
