"ldd --version" should give you all the info you need to check if you are vulnerable to CVE-2023-6246, local privilege escalation in glibc hpcsec.com/security-feed/

There will almost certainly be exploit code for this by the end of July. If you're on a 6.1-6.4 kernel then this local privilege escalation is one to be patching [CVE-2023-3269] openwall.com/lists/oss-secu… #Linux

We often get asked about ransomware and supercomputers. It's something we track really closely and we have tooling to address it, so it only felt right to share some of our thoughts: hpcsec.com/2023/02/12/ran… #HPC

Four steps for securing #BeeGFS installations from common security configuration issues: 1. connAuthFile 2. connAuthFile permissions 3. nosuid 4. connNetFilter / connInterfaces != security More info: hpcsec.com/2023/01/02/bee… #HPC

Keep an eye on this upcoming critical OpenSSL vulnerability which will be fixed 1st November To see what version of OpenSSL you have installed run "openssl version" Only OpenSSL 3 is affected. The issue is fixed in 3.0.7. #OpenSSL

Upgrades to BeeGFS 7.3.2 / 7.2.8 require a connAuthFile to be set up. A smart move which significantly bolsters BeeGFS security for very little effort. You should also set one up even if you are running an older version

Quick check for bad activity in your auth logs: "grep Accepted /var/log/auth.log | grep -F -f <(curl -s hxxps://threat-exchange.hpcsec.com/sshbrute-latest.txt)" #infosec

We've updated our list of IP addresses distributing Linux malware. You'll find it here: threat-exchange.hpcsec.com

When we uncover an IP address distributing Linux malware it gets added to our "Linux malware distribution" list. You can download that list here: threat-exchange.hpcsec.com If you see your systems connecting to one of these IPs then it's definitely worth investigating. #ThreatIntel

Most of our threat intel will never land in the public domain for obvious reasons, but here is some we can share - IPs targeting SSH servers - worry if any of these have successfully authenticated to your system(s): threat-exchange.hpcsec.com (free, updated hourly, curl friendly)

A few Linux Kernel vulnerabilities allowing local privilege escalation lately. We're tracking them here: hpcsec.com/security-feed/ Exploit code is in the the wild, so updates is strongly recommended

Yesterday SchedMD released versions 21.08.8 & 20.11.9 of Slurm which address three security vulnerabilities. One of which (CVE-2022-29500) appears significant, affects all versions, and allows an unprivileged user a mechanism to execute code as root: hpcsec.com/security-feed/ #HPC

We're still seeing clusters with vulnerable Spectrum Scale (GPFS) instances. It's quite easy to check if you're vulnerable and to fix it: hpcsec.com/2020/07/03/spe… < - includes technical exploit analysis #HPC #Supercomputer
