This creates a large attack surface where any software relying on cpio might in theory be leveraged to take over the system. Inexplicably, distribution maintainers appear to have reverted the patch and use a vulnerable version instead. The underlying cause is another vulnerability ( CVE-2015-1197) in cpio, for which a fix is available. The vulnerability affects a component of the Zimbra suite called Amavis, and more specifically the cpio utility it uses to extract archives. On October 7, 2022, a proof of concept for this vulnerability was added to the Metasploit framework, laying the groundwork for massive and global exploitation from even low-sophistication attackers. Kaspersky investigated the threat and was able to confirm that unknown APT groups have actively been exploiting this vulnerability in the wild, one of which is systematically infecting all vulnerable servers in Central Asia. In addition, manual mitigation steps can be undertaken by system administrators to prevent successful exploitation (see below).

At the moment, Zimbra has released a patch and shared its installation steps. The details they provided allowed Zimbra to confirm that an unknown vulnerability allowed attackers to upload arbitrary files to up-to-date servers. Installing SQLite 3 on Ubuntu 20.On September 10, 2022, a user reported on Zimbra’s official forums that their team detected a security incident originating from a fully patched instance of Zimbra. This article will show you how to install the SQLite browser and the SQLite 3 database in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. SQLite 3 and SQLite browser are available for installation in the official apt repository of Ubuntu 20.04. At the time of writing this article, SQLite 3 was the latest available version. SQLite has a friendly, spreadsheet-like interface, and you do not need to put much effort into learning the complex SQL commands. This program was created for developers who want to create their own databases, search information, and edit data. The front end of SQLite is the SQLite browser, which graphically works with the SQLite databases. SQLite browser is a graphical tool used for designing, creating, and editing the SQL databases that are compatible with SQLite. SQLite is not like a client-server based database application, but rather is a relational database management system embedded in the C library. It is a cross-platform software that can be installed onto a variety of operating systems, such as Linux, Windows, Mac OS, and more. SQLite is a lightweight command-line database application.
