Snort rule update for Sept. 23, 2021
A new SNORTⓇ rule update is out this morning.
There are two rules in this package that protect against a
zero-day vulnerability in the macOS
Finder. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
tricking a user into opening a specially crafted email attachment
that executes arbitrary commands. Apple released an update for this
issue, but it is still exploitable, according to security
researchers.
Here's a full breakdown of Thursday's rule update:
