Upgraded cache = bigger clothes pile.

They’ve really been dropping the ball lately. Especially with the SSL-VPN component. This is especially troubling considering I’ve had to implement emergency patches several times for this flaw on my own boxes.

A buffer overflow vulnerability was found within SSL-VPN in FortiOS leading to unauthorized code execution. Options are either to disable SSL-VPN or upgrade to a patched version.

Received this QNAP security bulletin this morning. Update your QNAP products!

June 14, 2023 - QNAP® had published security enhancement against security vulnerabilities that could affect specific versions of QNAP products. Please use the following information and solutions to correct the security issues and vulnerabilities.

Vulnerabilities in Samba

Release date: June 14, 2023 Security ID: QSA-23-05 Severity: Medium CVE identifier: CVE-2022-37966 | CVE-2022-37967 | CVE-2022-38023 | CVE-2022-45141 Affected products: Certain QNAP Devices

Summary

The Samba Team has released security updates to address vulnerabilities in multiple versions of Samba, including vulnerabilities related to RC4 encryption. If exploited, some of these vulnerabilities allow an attacker to take control of an affected system. The following QNAP operating systems are affected:

• QTS, QuTS hero, QuTScloud, QVP (QVR Pro appliances) QES is not affected.

Only QNAP devices that run the affected operating systems and also act as a domain controller or AD member are affected.

Standalone QNAP devices are not affected by the vulnerabilities.

QNAP is currently fixing the vulnerabilities in QTS, QuTS hero, QuTScloud and QVP (QVR Pro appliances).

Please check this security advisory regularly for updates and promptly update your QNAP operating system to the latest version as soon as it is available.

Recommendation

Because RC4 encryption poses a high security risk, we strongly recommend replacing RC4 with the more secure AES algorithm when using a QNAP device as a domain controller or AD member.

• When the QNAP device acts as a domain controller, we strongly recommend enforcing AES encryption. • When the QNAP device acts as an AD member, the encryption method should follow that of the domain controller. We also strongly recommend that the domain controller is configured to enforce AES encryption. Before security updates are available, depending on the AD domain role of your QNAP device, we recommend enforcing AES encryption only or at least allowing both AES and RC4 encryption to mitigate the risks posed by the vulnerabilities.

Just a reminder that Windows 10 21H2 home and pro editions are EoL today. Make sure you get updated to 22H2.

22H2 will be the final release of Windows 10, with an EoL of Oct. 14, 2025.

Enterprise 21H2 still has one year of support which will end June 11, 2024.

Nope. It can’t really be self hosted anymore, as having a residential IP is a straight track to the spam folder. It can be done if you also pay for a mail relay service, but then what’s the point of self hosting when you need to rely on a cloud service anyways.

With this new community, I figured it would be interesting to get a gauge on if there are any security professionals within the community, and what roles everyone holds?

I personally specialize in GRC, but have also worked in network engineering in the past.

Not surprised. They need to milk every last drop of revenue from their users free content for the upcoming IPO.
