Threat Source newsletter (Feb. 11, 2021)
Summary: Cisco Talos reported a new version of the LodaRAT trojan targeting Android devices to steal credentials and monitor phone calls and messages. Microsoft's February 2021 Patch Tuesday disclosed 56 vulnerabilities, its fewest since January 2020, including 11 critical flaws, and Cisco disclosed multiple vulnerabilities in its RV series small-business VPN routers that let an attacker send a crafted HTTP request to the management interface and execute arbitrary code as root.
What's compelling: The RV series flaws sit in routers purpose-built for small and medium-sized businesses and remote access to office networks, where a single crafted HTTP request yields root-level code execution on the gateway itself.
