The flaw, tracked as CVE-2021-31207, is present in the same platform that was at the heart of a devastating supply chain attack earlier in the year, although it hasn’t yet been exploited by cyber criminals. It’s described as a security feature bypass flaw and was discovered as part of last month’s Pwn2Own contest. This has been fixed alongside two other zero-day vulnerabilities. These are an elevation of privilege flaw in .NET and Visual Studio, tagged CVE-2021-31204, and a remote code execution flaw in Microsoft s Common Utilities component, tagged CVE-2021-31200.

Side-mounted fingerprint sensor According to the Google Play Console listing, the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G specifications may include MT6833V/NZA (i.e MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC), Android 11 OS, FHD+ display with 1,080 X 2,009 pixels resolution, and 4GB RAM, but there could be other variants at launch. Unfortunately, that’s pretty much everything that is revealed from the Google Play Console and Supported Devices listing. ); } ); } Previously, the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G TUV Rheinland certification revealed it will come with 15W (up to 9V, 1.67A input) fast-charging support. The alleged renders revealed the phone will have a waterdrop notch for the selfie snapper, a square-camera module that may have at least triple sensors, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security. The Samsung Galaxy A22 5G could sport a 6.5-inch display, a 48MP primary sensor, an 8MP lens, and a 2MP third sensor. It could have a 13MP sensor on the front for selfies and video chats. The p ....
Your phone (and everything else) might be vulnerable to frag attacks over WiFi Just days after we heard about the Qualcomm vulnerability that could let hackers listen to your calls, a security researcher has brought to light several Wi-Fi vulnerabilities, some of which even relate to the Wi-Fi standard itself. The new findings affect not just your phones, tablets, and laptops but just about any device that uses the technology that wirelessly connects to the internet. Belgian security researcher Mathy Vanhoef calls this new set of vulnerabilities FragAttacks, a portmanteau of fragmentation and aggregation attacks. If exploited, they could allow an attacker to steal information over protected networks, inject data packets into data streams, or even cause DoS (denial of service) attacks. While some flaws in the set are hard to abuse, some others are trivial to exploit. ....
FragAttacks: Wi-Fi Vulnerabilities Impacting Almost All Connected Devices Discovered, Windows Gets Patched Security researcher Mathy Vanhoef has found and reported the new set of Wi-Fi vulnerabilities online. By Jagmeet Singh | Updated: 13 May 2021 17:36 IST Photo Credit: Pixabay/ USA Reiseblogger Wi-Fi vulnerabilities could impact devices using even newer WPA2 and WPA3 standards Highlights There is a range of 12 different vulnerabilities Wi-Fi vulnerabilities have been patched to some extent by Microsoft Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered that are claimed to affect all modern Wi-Fi security protocols and impact a range of devices ranging from smartphones to routers and even small IoT devices. The vulnerabilities have been brought into notice by a Belgian cybersecurity expert who previously gained popularity for co-finding the widespread Wi-Fi vulnerabilities in the WPA2 protocol that resulted in key rein ....
To revist this article, visit My Profile, then View saved stories. A set of vulnerabilities in how Wi-Fi is designed and used in practice expose virtually every Wi-Fi-enabled device to some form of attack. A handful of those flaws have been around since the original Wi-Fi standard debuted in 1997. The findings, publicly disclosed this week by New York University Abu Dhabi researcher Mathy Vanhoef, show that an attacker within Wi-Fi range of a target network could potentially exfiltrate data from a victim and compromise their devices. But while the sheer scale and scope of the exposure is staggering, many of the attacks would be difficult to carry out in practice, and not all Wi-Fi devices are affected by all of the flaws. ....
