Press Release
NVIDIA resolves critical issues affecting Windows and Linux devices.

NVIDIA has released security upgrades to fix ten more bugs impacting the NVIDIA Virtual GPU (vGPU) management software in addition to six security holes discovered in Windows and Linux GPU display drivers.
The flaws make Windows and Linux systems vulnerable to attacks that could cause a denial of service, privilege escalation, data manipulation, or information disclosure.
Because all of these security flaws need local user access, potential attackers must first get access to susceptible targets via a different attack method.
Patching of eleven high severity vulnerabilities
Attackers can simply escalate privileges to obtain permissions above those provided by the OS after successfully exploiting one of the vulnerabilities fixed today.
Denial-of-service attacks or gaining access to otherwise inaccessible information can also be used to temporarily disable workstations running vulnerable drivers or software.
With the exception of the security flaws identified as CVE-2021-1052, CVE-2021-1053, and CVE-2021-1056 affecting the Linux GPU Display Driver for Tesla GPUs, which will start receiving an updated driver version on January 18, 2021, NVIDIA has patched all impacted software products and platforms.
The flaws have CVSS V3 base ratings ranging from 5.3 to 8.4, and NVIDIA has classified 11 of them as high-risk.
The risk assessment “is based on an average of risk across a broad set of deployed systems and may not represent the true risk of your local installation,” according to NVIDIA’s security alert.
To accurately assess the risk these vulnerabilities represent to your particular system configuration, the business further suggests speaking with an IT or security specialist.
The January 2021 Security Bulletin is a complete list of security problems that NVIDIA patched this month.
Several driver updates are accessible from hardware vendors.
NVIDIA advises users to use the security updates offered on the NVIDIA Driver Downloads page to upgrade their GeForce, NVIDIA RTX, Quadro, NVS, and Tesla GPU display drivers, as well as Virtual GPU Manager and guest driver software.
According to the business, certain consumers who choose not to manually fix the weaknesses might also get security upgrades bundled with Windows GPU display driver 460.84, 457.49, and 452.66 versions from their computer hardware vendors.
Users of the NVIDIA vGPU enterprise software must sign into the NVIDIA Enterprise Application Hub in order to download updates from the NVIDIA Licensing Center.

Press Release
After taking data, the Android spyware BRATA wipes your smartphone.

The most recent version of the Android malware known as BRATA now includes several new and dangerous features, such as GPS tracking, the ability to use numerous communication channels, and a tool that wipes all evidence of malicious activity from the device by performing a factory reset.
Kaspersky originally identified BRATA as an Android RAT (remote access tool) in 2019 that mostly targeted Brazilian users.
A Cleafy report from December 2021 highlighted the malware’s appearance in Europe, where it was observed to target customers of online banking services and steal their credentials with the help of con artists posing as bank customer support representatives.
Cleafy analysts kept an eye out for new features in BRATA, and in a new research released today, they show how the malware is still evolving.
versions with modifications for various audiences
The most recent iterations of the BRATA malware currently target e-banking users in China, Latin America, the UK, Poland, Italy, and Spain.
With various overlay sets, languages, and even different apps to target particular populations, each version focuses on a different bank.
In all versions, the developers employ comparable obfuscation strategies, such as enclosing the APK file in an encrypted JAR or DEX package.
The VirusTotal scan below shows how effectively this obfuscation avoids antivirus detections.
On that front, before moving on to the data exfiltration process, BRATA now actively looks for indicators of AV presence on the device and tries to erase the discovered security tools.
New capabilities
The keylogging functionality, which is a new feature in the most recent BRATA versions, was discovered by Cleafy researchers and adds to the existing screen capturing capabilities.
All new variations also include GPS monitoring, however analysts are unsure of its precise function.
The performing of factory resets, which the actors do in the following circumstances, is the scariest of the new malevolent features.
The fraudulent transaction has been successfully finished after the compromise (i.e. credentials have been exfiltrated).
It has been discovered by the programme that it operates in a virtual environment, perhaps for analysis.
The kill switch used by BRATA is a factory reset, which wipes the device and increases the risk of a victim experiencing an unexpected and permanent loss of data.
Finally, BRATA now supports HTTP and WebSockets and has provided new channels for data exchange with the C2 server.
A direct, low-latency route that is perfect for in-the-moment communication and live manual exploitation is provided by the choice of WebSockets for the actors.
Additionally, because WebSockets don’t need to send headers with each connection, less suspicious network traffic is generated, which reduces the likelihood of being discovered.
Basic safety precautions
BRATA is only one of several sneaky RATs and Android banking trojans that target users’ banking credentials that are out there.
Installing apps from the Google Play Store, avoiding APKs from dubious websites, and always scanning them with an AV programme before opening them are the best strategies to prevent being infected by Android malware.
Pay close attention to the permissions that are requested during installation and don’t allow those that don’t seem necessary for the app’s primary functions.
Finally, keep an eye on your battery life and network traffic levels to spot any sudden spikes that can be caused by malicious processes that are running in the background.
