WatchGuard Security Week in Review: Episode 47 – Piles of Patches

January 11, 2013 By Corey Nachreiner

Critical Java 0Day, Piles of Patches, and More

Ready for a weekly dose of InfoSec? This episode has a strong “patch” theme, with many vendors releasing some big security updates this week. Besides the patches, I also cover a few new 0day exploits, including a serious Java one getting leveraged quite a bit in the wild, and a couple crazy sounding security-related news items. If you want all the details, click play below, or check out the Reference section.

Note: I will be traveling the next few weeks. I still plan on trying to post the weekly video, but it may be shorter, less produced, and arrive at odd hours due to travel.

(Episode Runtime: 9:17)

    Thank you Corey for nice summarizing of latest security updates! As for John McAfee story – here is one point I do not understand – he is already famous person (around the world) involved in a lot of scandal-stories…why he tries to kick up a row more and more?? Are the story with his missing and a neighbor is not loud enough? :-))) Just curious…
