By Talos Group Talos is releasing an advisory for a remote denial of service attack vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 10 AHCACHE.SYS. An attacker can craft a malicious portable executable file, which if accessed causes AHCACHE.SYS to attempt to access out of scope memory. This triggers a bugcheck in the Windows kernel causing the system to crash, denying service […]

By Omar Santos Back in April, I wrote a blog post about the new version of the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The changes made for CVSSv3 addressed some of the challenges that existed in CVSSv2. For example, CVSSv3 analyzes the scope of a vulnerability and identifies the privileges an attacker needs to exploit it. The CVSSv3 enhancements […]
