OpenSSL HollowByte Flaw Could Freeze Server Memory with 11-Byte TLS Requests
Eleven bytes will make an unpatched OpenSSL server set aside up to 131 KB of memory for a message that never arrives. On the glibc systems Okta tested, that memory is gone until the process restarts.
OpenSSL shipped the HollowByte fix in June with no CVE, no advisory, and no changelog entry pointing at it. Okta’s Red Team, which reported the denial-of-service bug and named it, published the
Seven Malicious Vite npm Packages Use Blockchain C2 to Deliver a RAT
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a cluster of seven malicious npm packages targeting the Vite frontend tooling ecosystem as part of a software supply chain attack.
The malicious package campaign, codenamed ViteVenom by Checkmarx, marks an expansion of ChainVeil, which was observed using an “unprecedented” four-tier blockchain-based command-and-control (C2) infrastructure spanning Tron,
HollowByte DDoS flaw bloats OpenSSL server memory with 11-byte payload
A vulnerability dubbed HollowByte allows unauthenticated attackers to trigger a denial-of-service (DoS) condition on OpenSSL servers with a malicious payload of just 11 bytes. […]
New NadMesh Botnet Hunts Exposed AI Services for Cloud Keys and Kubernetes Tokens
A Go botnet called NadMesh turned up in early July hunting exposed AI services, and the operator’s own dashboard claims 3,811 unique AWS keys.
A Shodan harvester keeps the scan queue stocked with ComfyUI, Ollama, n8n, Open WebUI, Langflow, and Gradio: the image generators, local model runners, and workflow builders that teams stand up fast and firewall late.
