USN-8675-2: Perl vulnerabilities

Ubuntu issued USN-8675-2 fixing two Perl flaws (CVE-2026-12087, CVE-2026-13221) enabling information disclosure and regex-based security bypass on 26.04 LTS.

Ubuntu released USN-8675-2, extending the fixes from USN-8675-1 to Perl packages on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. The update addresses CVE-2026-12087, an out-of-bounds heap read in the Socket module when handling short source addresses, which could lead to information disclosure. It also fixes CVE-2026-13221, where regular expressions containing many fixed string alternatives could produce incorrect matches and bypass security restrictions. No exploitation is reported in the notice.

New IoT Malware Uses Public Linux Exploits to Gain Root and Launch DDoS Attacks

Nozomi details KATARU, an IoT botnet that brute-forces Telnet, exploits public Linux kernel flaws for root access, and launches multi-protocol DDoS attacks.

KATARU, discovered after honeypot Telnet brute-force activity from a Vietnamese IP, downloads an ARM payload (vlxx.arm) and attempts privilege escalation by editing /etc/passwd or exploiting CVE-2026-46300 (Fragnesia), CVE-2026-43284 (Dirty Frag), and CVE-2026-31431 (Copy Fail). It combines Mirai-style TCP, UDP, ICMP, HTTP, QUIC and DNS floods with application attacks against Minecraft, FiveM, OpenVPN and WireGuard. The malware uses X25519 and ChaCha20-Poly1305 encrypted C2, unusually broad persistence across systemd, cron, init frameworks, and Android hooks, plus anti-debugging and decoy traffic to hinder analysis. Implementers copied x86 shellcode into the ARM binary and reused an RFC 7748 test-vector key, indicating low-quality but rapidly evolving commodity development.

CVE-2026-34908: UniFi OS Auth Bypass Vulnerability

Ubiquiti disclosed CVE-2026-34908, a CVSS 10.0 authentication bypass in UniFi OS letting network-adjacent attackers alter device configuration without credentials.

CVE-2026-34908 is an improper access control flaw (CWE-284) in Ubiquiti UniFi OS devices, disclosed in UI Security Advisory Bulletin 064, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 10.0. An unauthenticated network-adjacent attacker can bypass access controls and modify system configuration, with scope-changed impact on downstream network services such as routing, VPN, and connected access points. Fixed firmware is available, and workarounds include restricting management ports to trusted subnets, isolating management interfaces on a dedicated VLAN, and disabling remote access features. No public proof-of-concept code was observed at the time of publication.
