New Android SMS of Death exploit can remotely crash unpatched phones

CVE-2026-58882, "SMS of Death", is a zero-click Android denial-of-service flaw in WapPushOverSms.decodeWapPdu, where an unchecked header-length value becomes negative and triggers a NegativeArraySizeException that crashes com.android.phone. A malformed eight-byte WAP Push message to port 2948 can drop calls, including emergency calls, and about 20 messages caused reboot loops. A PoC is public. Google patched Android 14 through 17 in October 2026, but Android 12 and 13 remain vulnerable.

Critical Linux kernel flaw allows remote root attacks on MPTCP servers

CVE-2026-98432 is a use-after-free race condition in the Linux kernel IPv4 TCP code (tcp_v4_syn_recv_sock, ireq_opt), affecting kernels back to 4.4 and rated 9.8 by the kernel CVE team (Red Hat rates it 5.9). Anthropic researchers say an unreleased Claude model built an exploit that bypassed KASLR and got remote root on an MPTCP listener in about 53 minutes. The article lists distro patch status and CIQ's nftables mitigation for IP options; disabling MPTCP alone does not help. No in-the-wild exploitation is reported.

TeamViewer Flaw Could Let Malicious Hosts Take Over Support Technicians’ Machines

CVE-2026-111585 (CVSS 8.8) is an integer overflow in the remote-control screen processing of TeamViewer clients on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android. A malicious or compromised host can announce an oversized screen surface (for example 32768 by 32768 at 32 bpp), forcing a software decode path and an out-of-bounds write that crashes the viewer or runs code. Remedio's research shows a pointer overwrite routed to WinExec. Version 15.83 fixes it, along with CVE-2026-92372, CVE-2026-92374 and six local privilege escalation bugs.

The article describes reflashing a Huawei E3372h-153 HiLink 4G USB modem so its embedded Linux OS runs an OpenVPN client over the mobile network, creating a covert, network-independent persistence channel after physical USB access. It walks through enabling debug mode, flashing firmware, disabling CD-ROM emulation, configuring DHCP and autorun scripts, and chaining a second L2VPN tunnel to bridge the attacker directly onto the victim's Ethernet segment for tools like Responder. Defense guidance focuses on restricting USB ports and disabling USB network adapters via policy.

Field Notes: Reconstructing an Attacker’s Workflow

Field note from dfir.ch on PowerShell scripts an attacker left on disk during an incident: a file-watching command runner using Invoke-Expression, a fake Windows credential prompt that validates passwords via Start-Process and logs them in cleartext, AD computer enumeration with WMI access testing, and SMB share discovery via NetShareEnum. It notes where script labels overstate what they prove and lists hunting strings for Event IDs 4104, 4103, 4688 and Sysmon 1.

Tweet by Gal Nagli (galnagli) saying a Gemini model turned the GitLab advisory for CVE-2026-110264 into a working heap exploit in 17 minutes, with the full chain done in about another hour. The flaw is a CVSS 10.0 unauthenticated RCE on self-managed GitLab servers, affecting 12 years of releases, found by joaxcar. The post links a The Hacker News article and gives no technical details of the exploit.

There isn't an easy exploit for this PHP vulnerability

Blog post from 21 October 2026 arguing that the recent PHP vulnerability (UAF chaining, tracked as PHP2Shell) has no easy working exploit, unlike Log4Shell, Heartbleed, Shellshock or the Rails YAML bug. The author says the many GitHub PoCs fail against vanilla PHP in Docker, or depend on a local-file-inclusion precondition or on an LLM modifying the target server. It also reflects on LLM-driven uniform judgement.

PHP2Shell: AI uncovers critical RCE vulnerabilities affecting 70% of the Internet

PHP2Shell is Wiz Research's disclosure of memory-safety bugs in core PHP, grouped under two CVEs (up to CVSS 9.2) and fixed in patched releases on 21 October 2026. The post details four bugs, all triggered by out-of-memory fatal errors that leave stale state: an upload-progress unserializer use-after-free, a session-ID memory disclosure, a fatal-error backtrace use-after-free and an OPcache type confusion. It describes unauthenticated RCE on WordPress, Drupal and Joomla, plus detection signals and a disclosure timeline.

php2shell is the name given to two critical pre-auth remote code execution flaws, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, in PHP core's session upload progress handler (php_session_rfc1867_callback), where zend_hash_update frees live zval pointers that are later reclaimed and redirected into zend_call_function to run zif_system. This repository ships poc_109618.py, a fully automated four-stage HTTP exploit that leaks ASLR offsets via Set-Cookie headers against php:8.4.26-apache on Debian Bookworm, along with a root-cause C source patch, mitigation scripts to disable session.upload_progress, and WAF/ModSecurity/Lighttpd/Apache rules plus detection guidance for anomalous PHP worker child processes. Confirmed PHP versions include 8.4.4 and 8.2.34, with EOL branches (5.x, 7.x, 8.0, 8.1) left without official vendor patches.

php2shell-poc is a proof-of-concept and detection toolkit for CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, two PHP vulnerabilities tied to session.upload_progress handling and a Zend engine out-of-memory bailout path affecting PHP 5.4.0 through 8.5.11. The repository includes three working exploit chains, a Docker-based lab (PHP-FPM, nginx, Apache mod_php) for reproduction, and pre-built Suricata, Sigma, ModSecurity, and Lua detection rules. The author recommends disabling session.upload_progress as an interim mitigation, noting the underlying memory corruption requires a full PHP patch to fix.

CVE-2026-106173 is an unauthenticated arbitrary file write in the FortiSIEM phQueryMaster gRPC service on tcp/27918, advised by Fortinet on 13 October 2026. The SendQueryResult handler concatenates an attacker-controlled query-id into a path, and a null byte in the header removes the server-added filename suffix. Overwriting /opt/charting/redishb.sh, run every 60 seconds by cron, gives root-level code execution. IOCs are file timestamps.

From JavaScript to Renderer Code Execution: Three V8 Vulnerabilities and Two v8CTF Flags | depthfirst

Depth First Security's write-up describes three V8 bugs found using its dfs-large1 research tooling: CVE-2026-78938, a type confusion in Promise.prototype.finally that lets an internal helper be constructed and return a primitive; CVE-2026-79236, a TurboFan load-elimination bug that keeps a stale property-array pointer after object migration; and a shared WebAssembly memory sandbox escape (issue 546253900) caused by mismatched backing-store registration during serialization. It walks through turning each memory bug into addrof/fakeobj primitives, chaining either with the sandbox escape to reclaim a freed V8 isolate via a WebSocket allocation, and pivoting through a CFI-constrained ROP chain to achieve Chrome renderer code execution, earning two v8CTF flags. Fixes landed between August 20 and 25, 2026.

Broadcom Wi-Fi vulnerability leaves over 1.5 million Belgian gateways exposed

A Broadcom SDK flaw in the WPS code that reassembles fragmented EAP messages allows a buffer overflow and unauthenticated code execution over Wi-Fi, bypassing WPA2/WPA3 passwords. Quentin Kaiser of ONEKEY demonstrated it at Hexacon on 16 October 2026 against Orange Belgium and Proximus gateways, and published a fingerprinting script and YARA rule. Broadcom's 2018 patch was incomplete, it refused a CVE, and over 1.5 million Belgian gateways are exposed.

Infinity Core is a set of six Linux kernel bugs published by researcher Hyunwoo Kim after the linux-distros embargo expired on 16 October 2026, with public exploit code. The bugs sit in timer, signal, memory, futex, scheduler and SLUB code. Five have local privilege escalation exploits, one is crash-only. CIQ says four affect Rocky Linux-based kernels. No sysctl or module workaround exists, so the fix is a patched kernel and a reboot.

The vulnerabilities are unnamed and no tool is public; Calif says it will publish later. The article notes Calif's prior use of Claude and Mythos Preview for exploit development, Apple's iOS 27 notes crediting Calif for two unrelated crash bugs, and the Apple mitigations (sandbox, PAC, secure boot chain) such a chain must defeat.
