Redtail Payload Analysis [Guest Diary], (Wed, Sep 9th)
SANS guest analyst detonated a RedTail Linux sample from a DShield honeypot, finding process masquerading as php-fpm, monitoring-kill behavior, and a TCP listener.
A DShield honeypot captured multi-architecture RedTail Linux executables (ARM, ARM64, i686, RISC-V, x86-64) deployed via shell scripts. Dynamic analysis of the UPX-packed, statically linked x86-64 sample (SHA-256 63be5f38...d35e) in an isolated Ubuntu 24.04 VM on Proxmox showed it renamed its process via prctl(PR_SET_NAME), killed a filesystem-monitoring process, and opened a TCP listening socket while surviving processes posed as php-fpm or PostgreSQL-like workers. Differential memory images pre- and post-execution were captured from the hypervisor for forensics.

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.

Stack buffer overflow in WAD
FortiOS explicit proxy WAD daemon stack buffer overflow (CVSS 5.1) allows code execution only with Kerberos and SOCKS configured.
Fortinet advisory FG-IR-26-161 describes a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) in the WAD daemon of FortiOS explicit proxy, scored CVSSv3 5.1. Exploitation requires an attacker able to bypass stack protection and ASLR, and the explicit proxy must be configured with Kerberos authentication and SOCKS enabled. If successful, it yields arbitrary code or command execution in the WAD daemon context via crafted sockets. No exploitation is reported in the advisory.
