Regional security update

Assess promptly

A use-after-free bug in Linux's SCTP networking code can be turned into full root on a host, and Tencent researchers say they used it to escape a container and reach the machine underneath. The flaw has existed since 2008. The fix already shipped: stable kernels 7.1.6, 6.18.42, 6.12.101 and 6.6.148, released August 3, close it. Anyone running an older kernel with SCTP reachable should update.

U.S. Banking Regulators Strengthen Handling of Highly Sensitive Examination Information

Financial cybersecurity team reviewing encrypted examination records inside a controlled data boundary
Financial regulation

Governance update

The Federal Reserve, FDIC and OCC announced enhanced procedures intended to reduce the cyber risk associated with highly sensitive bank examination information.

At a glance

  • The agencies will prefer reviewing highly sensitive information at a bank's premises rather than transferring it to agency systems when practicable.
  • Covered banks will be notified of a potential or confirmed material breach involving their information no later than 72 hours after discovery unless law restricts notification.
  • The changes focus on reducing concentration and transfer risk around sensitive supervisory data.
  • The announcement applies to the agencies' examination-information handling, not a replacement for banks' own incident-notification duties.
