@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.

Title: ISC Releases Security Advisory For BIND To Address High Severity Denial of Service Bug Description: ISC has released a security advisory to address CVE-2016-2776, a denial-of-service security vulnerability in BIND that was responsibly disclosed. CVE-2016-2776 manifests as a "defect in the rendering of messages into packets" when a certain error condition is met and "can cause named to exit with an assertion failure." This vulnerability is exploitable "even if the apparent source address isn't allowed to make queries (i.e. doesn't match 'allow-query')." ISC has released a software update that addresses this vulnerability. However, ISC notes that a Metasploit module and a breakdown of the issue has been published. Additionally, ISC notes that there have been crashes reported reflecting this vulnerability is under active exploitation. Reference: https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01419/74/CVE-2016-2776 Snort SID: Detection pending
Title: Cisco Release Security Advisory for Email Security Appliances (ESAs) Description: Cisco has released a security advisory for Email Security Appliance (ESA) customers to address CVE-2016-6406, an internal testing interface vulnerability that could allow a remote attacker to gain control of the device. CVE-2016-6404 manifests due to the "presence of a Cisco internal testing and debugging interface" which is "intended for use during product manufacturing only," but is present on customer-available software builds. However, this vulnerability only affect devices running a specific software version, have only been rebooted at most once since one of the affected software updates was installed, and the "Enrollment Client component version is earlier than version 1.0.2-065." Devices that have been rebooted two or more times since installation of an affected software version are not vulnerable. Cisco has released a software update to address this vulnerability.
