Virus/Malware Solution Recommended For Flash Zero Day Breach

Can anyone recommend a virus/malware protection solution. I attempted to download adobe flash this morning and now malware has control of my browser and is sending a page with an 866 number to call. My IT tech called the number and it is an India call center and they want remote access to your machine. I have installed several different malware packages and none of them can find the files that are causing this problem. I am using a MAC with OSX 10.10.

Aaaahhhh yes... remember when an entire day could by without news of a breach or hack or targeted attack? Yeah... neither do I.It will probably shock you all to hear that the Symantec Security Response team dropped a new blog over the weekend outlining a Zero-Day vulnerability in Adobe Flash player.

Warning: Zero Day exploit in the wild targeting Adobe Reader 9.4.6

Adobe has just released details of a Zero Day exploit targeting Reader version 9.4.6, details here: http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2011/12/background-on-cve-2011-2462.html
An independent site called H Security also has some background info on the subject which, to a lesser degree, also affects 10.1.1: http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/New-Adobe-Reader-zero-day-in-the-wild-1391441.h tml

So here we are now sitting pretty with Reader updated to 9.4.7
However, once again, this update has FAILED to address the issue with the Firefox plugin which remains as 9.4.5.236
So anybody who unwittingly updates Reader to 9.4.7 but doesn't notice that the Firefox plugin remains as 9.4.5.236 is going to have a nasty surprise if they happen to land on a malware infested site!
The only workaround here is to disable the plugin in the Firefox Add-ons manager which you can access by hitting CTRL+SHIFT+A. Go to the Plugins menu and click the "Disable" button to the right on the Reader installation. This means you will be unable to read PDF files in the Firefox browser and will instead be presented with the option to download them to your own machine. If however you choose to open them with the disabled plugin, it will once again remain enabled until you manually disable it again, so be careful.

Zero-day exploit patch for Reader 9?

Any word on the zero-day exploit patch for Reader 9?

Yes, Claudio, thanks for the reply. I may be a little overly anxious in asking because, while I realize the patch is expected sometime this week, I have grown accustomed to Tuesday releases. Meanwhile our security team wants us to patch this exploit ASAP. I was just wondering if there were any updates on the expected release other than "this week."

What's up with Java Zero Day, and is Snow Leopard endangered?

That.

Patched or not and regardless of the version, I'd keep Java disabled, period. Best place for Java is shackled, locked up and caged.
http://krebsonsecurity.com/2012/08/attackers-pounce-on-zero-day-java-exploit/
If you do not need Java, get rid of it, and if you do need it for specific applications or sites, limit your use of Java to those sites and applications, using a secondary browser for that purpose.

Patch for the lastest zero day vulnerability

Hi
Microsoft has released a patch for the latest zero day vulnerability. In the page
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2887505 it is written:
"You must have security update 2870699 installed for this Fix it to provide effective protection against this issue."
Question: What happens if this path is installed and 2870699 has not been installed yet?
a: Will not provide effective protection against this issue before 2870699 has been installed - but work fine when it has been installed?
or
b: Will never provide effective protection against this issue if 2870699 is installed after the fix in 2887505.
Thanks in advance
Best regards Harald

Hi,
This fixit is a appcompat shim, performs as a temporary Advanced Workaround to help protect against attempts to exploit this vulnerability. I think
it is recommended to install the two updates in sequence just as described in the KB.
To better understand this, I’d like to share the following articles with you:
CVE-2013-3893: Fix it workaround available

Researchers reveal attack code for new IE zero-day...

Until this is patched all versions of Internet Explorer including IE8 on Windows 7 are vulnerable.
Researchers reveal attack code for new IE zero-day
Try to avoid using Internet Explorer until patched, I'd rather warn people now than let the Holodays etc be ruined.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

I only unlock IE when applying Windows Security Patches, otherwise I use a variety of locked down Browsers,
The purpose of my post however was to warn those that use IE through choice or other than that at their workplace.

Our product has used OLI interface with IWebBrowser but crashes since OLE Zero Day Patch (Nov 12)

It crashes when we call the Navigate method (see below). This has worked for many years in all previous windows environmnets but is crashing on windows 7 since OLE Zero Day Patch (Nov 12).
(IDispatch(GetOleObject) as IWebBrowser2).Navigate(URL, EmptyParam, EmptyParam, EmptyParam, EmptyParam)
What can we do to rectify this problem.
Thanks

New Zero Day Vulnerability - does it impact Reader 8.3.1

I recognize EOL for Reader 8.x was November, but I need to know if this new vulnerability impacts users of Reader 8.3.1.

Thank you, and yes, but it does not specifically say if version 8.3.1 is
impacted (that I can tell)

Is the Java "Zero-Day" bug dangerous for MountainLion users?

Is the Java "Zero-Day" bug dangerous for MountainLion users?

It is not yet dangerous, to my knowledge, as it is currently being used only to distribute Windows malware. But users of Java 7 are certainly vulnerable, should a hacker start distributing Mac malware through this vulnerability.

Snap! Zero-day flaw in Intel chips, Verizon's new plan, and spy-grade malware

A daily dose of today's top tech stories:Researchers at Black Hat demonstrate rootkit exploit in Intel processors –Every Intel processor released since 1997 has suffered from a vulnerability that"could grant someone access to the lowest-level firmware in a PC,"according to sources.The target is the System Management Mode, which "handles system errors and grants control to various subsystems, such as power." Intel has confirmed that it is working to patch the flaw.
Verizon changes everything –Competition between the major four cellular providers in the US has beenramping up over the past four years, and consumers are reaping the benfits. Take today's news: Verizon will be axing its contract model and moving to a month-by-month payment plan.According to CNET, there "are no single-line options orfamily plans [under Verizon's new plan]."...

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Adobe Reader X Sandbox Bypass Zero Day

Whatever happened to this supposed vulnerability? It just dropped off the map; no patch, no CVE, no security vendor has produced detection/protection for it or any exploits. We're these Russians,as is usually the case, full of borscht?
I am being tasked to come up with detection, but all talk about it stopped around 9 November, and there are no technical details anywhere? Was, it all false?

Hi Smith,
What did you intend to do that the service was incapable of?
