@RISK provides a reliable weekly summary of (1) newly discovered attack vectors, (2) vulnerabilities with active new exploits, (3) insightful explanations of how recent attacks worked, and other valuable data
A key purpose of the @RISK is to provide the data that will ensure that the 20 Critical Controls (the US and UK benchmark for effective protection of networked systems) continue to be the most effective defenses for all known attack vectors. But since it is also valuable for security practitioners, SANS is making it available to the 145,000 security practitioners who have completed SANS security training and others at their organizations who hope to stay current with the offensive methods in use.

SELECTED BY THE TALOS SECURITY INTELLIGENCE AND RESEARCH GROUP
Title: NTP Project Releases Security Update for ntpd, Patching 5 Vulnerabilities Description: The NTP Project has released a security advisory to address 5 security vulnerabilities within the Network Time Protocol daemon. The most severe flaw addressed in the advisory is a denial of service flaw (CVE-2016-4957) that is due to a bug in a fix to check the validity of CRYPTO_NAK packets. The four other vulnerabilities addressed are low severity. The NTP Project has released an updated version of ntpd to address these flaws. Reference: http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Main/SecurityNotice#Recent_Vulnerabilities Snort SID: Detection pending
Title: Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerability in WP Mobile Detector Patched Description: An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the WP Mobile detector plugin for WordPress has been patched. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to upload arbitrary files to a website running a vulnerable version of the plugin in a WordPress installation. Note that the impact of this flaw depends if the server is configured in a way that could introduce security risks. The developer of the plugin has been notified and a patched released to address the vulnerability.
