VMware has released security advisory VMSA-2011-0011 which describes a remote code execution vulnerability in VMware Workstation 7.1.4 and earlier, VMware player 3.1.4 and earlier, and VMware Fusion 3.1.2 and earlier.  Note, VMware released Workstation 8 and Fusion 4 late last month, so if you have upgraded to the bleeding edge, you are not affected.

On the heels of the 11 bulletins (mostly IOS) that they released last week, Cisco has released 3 more today.

 The FWSM bulletin covers 4 DoS issues and one authentication bypass.  The ASA bulletin covers 2 of the same DoS issues, the same auth bypass, plus 1 additional DoS.  The NAC bulletin covers a directory traversal issue (by an unauthenticated user) against the (HTTPS) management interface.

Adobe SSL Certificate Problem (fixed)

Tuesday morning, we received a number of reports from readers indicating that the SSL certificate used for "settings.adobe.com" was out of date. Initially, we had a hard time reproducing the finding. But some of our handlers in Europe were able to see the expired certificate.

The expired certificate was valid from Oct 6th  2009 to Oct 6h 2010. Which is somewhat unusual. Typically, we would expect a certificate that "just expired yesterday" and someone forgot to renew it. In this case, it looked more like someone installed an older certificate instead of the new one.

The correct certificate was pretty much exactly a year old and valid for another year. Everything indicated that the Adobe certificates indeed expire in the first week of October.

In the end, we narrowed the affected geography down to Europe and contacted Adobe. Adobe responded promptly and as of this evening, the problem appears to be fixed. Thanks everybody who helped via twitter narrowing down the affected geography and thanks to the readers reporting this initially.

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
