Threat Source newsletter (Nov. 14, 2019)

Summary: Cisco Talos' Nov. 14, 2019 Threat Source newsletter recaps a busy Patch Tuesday, including Microsoft's monthly security update and two vulnerabilities Talos discovered, plus a remote code execution flaw in some Intel graphics drivers and another in Exhibitor's web user interface. Talos also describes a wave of actors using living-off-the-land binaries to evade detection and walks through how to detect these "LoLBins" and campaigns where they appeared in the wild.

Why it matters: Attackers using binaries already present on the system are harder to flag than dropped malware, and Talos pairs that with a disclosed remote code execution flaw in Intel graphics drivers and another in Exhibitor's web UI - two more entry points sitting in the same week's patch queue.
