Vulnerabilità zero-day in azione sui router TP-Link: cosa sapere fino al rilascio della patch
È stata scoperta una nuova vulnerabilità zero-day che colpisce diversi modelli di router TP-Link. Il problema, identificato come un buffer overflow nell’implementazione del protocollo CWMP (CPE WAN Management Protocol), potrebbe consentire a un attaccante di eseguire codice arbitrario e reindirizzare le richieste DNS a server falsi.
La vulnerabilità è stata segnalata da un ricercatore indipendente noto con il nickname Mehrun (ByteRay) l’11 maggio 2024. TP-Link ha confermato l’esistenza dell’errore e sta lavorando sugli aggiornamenti per risolvere il problema. Al momento, la correzione è disponibile solo per le versioni firmware europee, mentre l’adattamento per gli Stati Uniti e altre regioni è ancora in corso.
La vulnerabilità risiede nella funzione di elaborazione dei messaggi SOAP SetParameterValues, dove le chiamate strncpy vengono eseguite senza verificare i limiti. Ciò potrebbe portare alla possibilità di eseguire codice arbitrario se la dimensione del buffer di input supera i 3072 byte. Un attacco reale può essere implementato sostituendo il server CWMP e trasmettendo una richiesta SOAP appositamente predisposta.
Se sfruttata con successo, la vulnerabilità può reindirizzare le richieste DNS a server falsi, intercettare o modificare silenziosamente il traffico non crittografato e iniettare dati dannosi nelle sessioni utente. I modelli di router vulnerabili includono Archer AX10 e Archer AX1500, ancora in vendita e molto popolari.
TP-Link consiglia agli utenti di modificare le password di amministratore di fabbrica, disabilitare CWMP se non utilizzato, aggiornare il firmware all’ultima versione e, se possibile, isolare il router dai segmenti di rete critici.

"Domenico Losurdo, whose neo-Stalinist approach to philosophy is the focus of the present inquiry, offered his own polemical appraisal of Western Marxist theorists some forty years after Anderson and Jacoby. An English translation of this work, entitled Western Marxism: How it was Born, How it Died, and How it can be Reborn, was released last year by the publishing house attached to Monthly Review, a journal long known for its sympathy with actually-existing socialism and developmentalist regimes on the periphery of capitalism. Losurdo’s main complaint against the odd assortment of figures collected in that book is that they ignored anticolonial struggles.
Once his concrete engagements with individual Western Marxists have been fleshed out, it will be possible to challenge Losurdo’s abstract overarching framework. So as to better organize what follows, however, the various theorists he castigated in Western Marxism will be divided along roughly national lines. Della Volpe, Tronti, Timpanaro, and Negri will be grouped together as dissident Marxists in Italy. Sartre, Althusser, and Badiou will fall under the rubric of French Marxism. (For the purposes of this essay, Žižek will be thrown in here, given his debt to Althusserianism.) Adorno, Horkheimer, Bloch, and Marcuse will of course count as German Marxists. Not all of these figures will be defended with equal vigor; not all are equally defensible. But all of them deserve better than the treatment they receive at the hands of Losurdo. Finally, his gloss on non-Marxists such as Arendt and Foucault will be covered, along with his challenge to Anderson. His slack scholarship will be seen to extend to his work on Nietzsche and Stalin as well. This will then lead in the third part into a broader examination of the historic failure of international revolution and a reassessment of the role of the state..."

No hagáis ruido con los platos y tazas en restaurantes que sufren los perros como con los cohetes. No lo hagáis por mi, hacerlo por los animales que no tienen culpa.
Como me gustaría que en los sitios se cuidase más el tema sonoro. Algunos sitios sales de allí con dolor de cabeza y no porque pongan música.
Básicamente porque no han pensado en la acústica leñes.
La acústica está tan infravalorada como ignorada. La mayoría de los locales tienen superficies lisas y duras que sólo aumentan la reverberación, el público se lía a hablar cada vez más alto y todos a la vez. Si encima tienen música apaga y vámonos.
Yo evito ese tipo de locales, de hecho siempre que puedo prefiero quedarme fuera. Otro día hablamos de las terrazas con música, que también las evito. Las sociedades que producen ruido a propósito están enfermas.

Oltre lo spionaggio: “Salt Typhoon” avrebbe preso di mira anche Donald Trump
Una vasta operazione di cyberspionaggio condotta dalla Cina, denominata “Salt Typhoon”, è stata descritta recentemente come la più ambiziosa mai attribuita a Pechino. Secondo il rapporto, questa campagna avrebbe portato al furto di dati sensibili di quasi tutti gli americani, compresi nomi di alto profilo come il presidente Donald Trump e il vicepresidente JD Vance. La dimensione dell’attacco conferma la capacità dei gruppi cinesi di penetrare in profondità nelle reti di comunicazione internazionali.
Gli obiettivi colpiti non si limitano agli Stati Uniti: Salt Typhoon ha infatti compromesso reti di telecomunicazione in oltre 80 paesi, rendendo evidente l’estensione globale di questa operazione. La scelta di colpire le telecomunicazioni appare strategica, poiché permette di intercettare, manipolare e utilizzare informazioni su larga scala, con possibili ripercussioni per governi, aziende e cittadini.
Parallelamente aSalt Typhoon, è stato citato un ulteriore vettore di minaccia, identificato come “Volt Typhoon”, che ha spostato l’attenzione verso infrastrutture critiche americane, tra cui le reti elettriche. La combinazione dei due scenari aumenta le preoccupazioni sulla sicurezza nazionale, poiché dimostra una doppia capacità: spionaggio politico e colpi mirati a strutture vitali.
La risposta statunitense si sta articolando attraverso contromisure legali e di cybersecurity messe in campo da organismi come l’FBI e il Dipartimento di Giustizia. Le autorità hanno rafforzato gli strumenti di difesa e intensificato le indagini, segnalando la volontà di contrastare l’operazione non solo sul piano tecnico, ma anche su quello giuridico e diplomatico.
Il rapporto sottolinea inoltre le gravi implicazioni per i cittadini comuni, che rischiano di vedere compromessa la propria privacy a causa dell’esfiltrazione di dati personali. A queste criticità si aggiunge la minaccia verso infrastrutture strategiche, capaci di influenzare direttamente la vita quotidiana delle persone, rendendo la portata dell’attacco ancora più allarmante.
Guam è emersa come uno dei punti nevralgici di questa vicenda, poiché considerata particolarmente vulnerabile a causa della sua importanza strategica nello scenario geopolitico e militare. La posizione dell’isola ne fa un obiettivo privilegiato, rendendola simbolo della fragilità degli equilibri in questa nuova forma di conflitto.
Nonostante la gravità delle accuse, la Cina ha negato ogni coinvolgimento nell’operazione. Tuttavia, la condanna e le reazioni internazionali crescono, contribuendo ad alimentare tensioni politiche tra Washington e Pechino. Gli esperti stimano perdite economiche di miliardi di dollari, un impatto che si aggiunge alle conseguenze geopolitiche, trasformando Salt Typhoon in un evento destinato a segnare profondamente i rapporti tra le due potenze.

L'immagine mostra un paesaggio montano mozzafiato con un cielo azzurro e sereno. In primo piano, un prato verde e rigoglioso si estende con colline ondulate, punteggiato da alberi e piccole strutture rurali. Sullo sfondo, imponenti montagne con facciate rocciose e picchi acuti dominano la scena, creando un contrasto con il verde del paesaggio. Le case sparse e le strade che si snodano tra le colline suggeriscono un'area rurale, probabilmente in una regione alpina. La luce del sole illumina il paesaggio, evidenziando i colori vivaci e la bellezza naturale del luogo.

Gaza está sufriendo un bloqueo.
Por eso todo el mundo se está muriendo de hambre: porque no hay suficiente comida para todos, porque no está entrando suficiente. Israel ha estado bloqueando los suministros durante meses.
Han sido bombardeados hasta quedar en la Edad de Piedra. No hay bibliotecas públicas, escuelas ni universidades. Incluso los hospitales han sido reducidos a escombros, y los centros médicos improvisados están desbordados y con poco personal.
Pero este estafador afirma que ha vivido un milagro y ha encontrado a alguien que puede superar el bloqueo y está dispuesto a compartir su comida. O que no le importa morirse de hambre —por un precio— porque ha descubierto lo imposible: cómo llevarse el dinero consigo después de morir. Ah, y de alguna manera también tiene electricidad e internet, mientras todos los demás carecen de ello.
Y tu dólar, aparentemente, puede seguir apoyando esa obra de ficción.
Es una ESTAFA.
No les envíes ni un centavo, ni compartas sus tonterías.
Denuncia y bloquea.

"WHOA! Nancy Mace Says Trump Was an FBI Informant! So Did He Flip on Epstein to Save Himself?
(. . .)
What Mace is saying is that Trump offered to tell the feds what he knew about Epstein. But how would Trump know things about Epstein that would incriminate him if he wasn't involved in some way?
(. . .)
The Epstein affair has had a surprising impact on Trump and his MAGA movement. So many other scandals faded away rather quickly, including his sexual abuse of writer E. Jean Carroll, his half billion dollar judgment for financial fraud, his unsavory relations with Vladimir Putin and other Russian operatives; his Stalinist attacks on his political foes, and so much more.
The Epstein matter, however, hangs on week after week. And it is having a noticeable effect on his MAGA base. Even stalwart Trumpists like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie are uniting with Democrats to make the files public, in defiance of Trump's demands to stand down. And now, Nancy Mace has inadvertently exposed another potential Trump vulnerability.
Will the Epstein files reveal whether Trump was, in fact, an FBI informant? Did he have personal knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities? Did he participate in them? We'll just have to wait and see. Which makes it all the more imperative to make those files public ASAP."

Anybody catch that loveable scamp, Jake Berry, going to bat for Nigel (and his rants about FrEe SpEeCh) on Radio 4 this lunchtime?
Was a bit muffled - I'm not sure exactly where his head was buried - but the gist seemed to be that the UK is now Schroedinger's North Korea: an oppressive, totalitarian state which *at the same time and in the same breath* has far too many human rights protections.
You can't make this stuff up and it's an absolute joy to behold - although I apologise to the person next to me at the traffic lights for shouting, "GET BACK IN THE F***ING SEA, YOU BELLEND!" Unless they're a Reform voter, in which case get back in the sea also.
"That Cuomo is making common cause with Trump to stop Mamdani will not be a big surprise to many on the Left, who have long suspected that quite a few centrist Democrats (and the corporate interests they serve) would prefer MAGA to socialism. It may yet scandalize many ordinary Democratic voters though — and it raises the question of whether and how a house so divided against itself can stand.
Trump’s support for Cuomo also bodes ill for what will come after November should they succeed in defeating Mamdani. Adams was able to avoid federal corruption charges by aiding in Trump’s immigration crackdown. It’s not at all hard to imagine Cuomo will be expected to return the president’s favors by doing the same or worse, like welcoming federal police into the city. In that scenario, it will be New York City residents who pay the price for Cuomo’s deal with the devil."

The image depicts an indoor setting, likely a computer lab or a public access area, with several individuals using vintage computers. In the foreground, a person wearing a striped shirt and light-colored pants is seated at a desk, interacting with an old-style computer monitor displaying green text. Standing next to this individual is another person in a yellow top and blue jeans, carrying a backpack, observing the screen. In the background, through a glass partition, a third person is seated at a similar setup, working on a computer with a blue screen. The room features a mix of modern and retro elements, with contemporary lighting fixtures and a polished floor. The overall atmosphere suggests a blend of historical and current technology use, possibly for educational or nostalgic purposes.

The image depicts an indoor setting, likely a museum or library, with a spacious and well-lit environment. In the foreground, a man and a woman stand side by side, both smiling at the camera. The man is wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt and jeans, while the woman is dressed in a striped top and black pants, with a lanyard around her neck. To their left, there is a glass display case with a blue interior, open and empty, positioned on a black stand. Behind them, a large screen is mounted on the wall, displaying text, and a service counter is visible in the background with people seated and standing around it. The overall atmosphere is calm and organized, with natural light coming through the windows.
―
The image features a display sign for the Altair 8800 Computer, a significant milestone in personal computing. The sign is framed in a clear acrylic stand and is placed on a glass surface, with a wooden panel background. The title "ALTAIR 8800 COMPUTER" is prominently displayed at the top in bold, with "50 Years of Personal Computing" below it. The sign's background is a dark blue, and the text is white, providing a clear contrast for readability. The text on the sign provides historical context, highlighting the Altair 8800's role as the first commercially successful personal computer and its impact on the development of personal computing in the late 1970s. It mentions the launch of "Micro-Soft" (Microsoft) and the inspiration it provided for Steve Wozniak's creation of the Apple I. The sign also discusses the Altair's evolution from a kit for electronics hobbyists to a more sophisticated personal computer, including the development of Altair BASIC and the broader implications of personal computing.
