What does it do?

With this vulnerability, a written class in the Netgear ProSAFE Network Management System fails to validate a user-supplied path, allowing for code execution in the product.

What does it do?

On some Cisco Catalyst 4500 and 4500-X series switches, a lack of boundary checks on Easy VSS protocol packets allows for a crafted buffer overflow from an attacker. Once this overflow is triggered, the attacker may gain admin access to the underlying Linux operating system or the ability to perform a denial of service.

What does it do?

This vulnerability copies the data within a RTT/TTY packet without verifying the size of the destination buffer, causing a possible buffer overflow. This can then be used to perform an out-of-bound write of data.

Summary

There is something to be said of being able to make updates on the fly. In the case of irritating IPs and abnormal host activity on a fast-paced network, rules must be pushed to firewalls quickly and effectively to avoid more noise for analysts. This often involves making sure that either all analysts or all in a certain group have access to every security appliance, then allowing them to add rules manually as needed.

Automated Solution

Instead of a manual and individual addition of every firewall rule, rules are automatically pushed to the security appliance after the detection of certain activities in connection to an IP. When a case is created that is a verified network scanner or has been verified as a malicious IP, this may be triggered, or an analyst can run the command to automatically input data into a new rule.
