Recommended Practices CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of this vulnerability. Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet. Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks. When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as the connected devices. CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures. CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies. CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets. Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies. Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents. CISA also recommends users take the following measures to protect themselves from social engineering attacks: Do not click web links or open attachments in unsolicited email messages. Refer to Recognizing and Avoiding Email Scams for more information on avoiding email scams. Refer to Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks for more information on social engineering attacks.

Filtering Known-Bad Messages Does Not Prove Detection Readiness

SCM feed for Latest

The article discusses the inadequacy of measuring cybersecurity effectiveness solely by block rates of known-bad messages. It argues that just because a system can block certain threats does not mean it is fully prepared to detect and respond to all potential attacks. This is a significant point for organizations relying on these metrics, as it may give a false sense of security. The piece emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of detection capabilities rather than just focusing on how many threats are blocked. By doing so, organizations can better assess their true security posture and improve their defenses against evolving threats.

OpenSSL HollowByte Flaw Could Freeze Server Memory with 11-Byte TLS Requests

The Hacker News

A recently discovered vulnerability in OpenSSL, dubbed the HollowByte flaw, can cause unpatched servers to reserve up to 131 KB of memory for a tiny 11-byte TLS request that never arrives. This issue can lead to a denial-of-service condition, where the server's memory is tied up until the process is restarted. The problem was identified by Okta's Red Team, which reported it without a CVE or formal advisory. OpenSSL issued a fix for this vulnerability in June, but the lack of documentation means many users may remain unaware of the risk. As a result, organizations running affected OpenSSL versions should ensure they apply the update to avoid potential service disruptions.
