Talos's rule release:
CVE-2017-0016: A coding deficiency exists in Microsoft Windows SMB that may lead to remote code execution.
A rule to detect attacks targeting this vulnerability is included in this release and is identified with GID 1, SID 41499.
This release also provides detection for a WordPress vulnerability using a authentication bypass. This is the bug that was patched recently via a silent fix, and is particularly nasty. Please upgrade your WordPress installation immediately if you have not done so. As WordPress is so widely deployed, and the vulnerability is rather simple, we have placed these rules in the community ruleset for everyone's use.
Talos has also added and modified multiple rules in the browser-ie, browser-plugins, malware-cnc, policy-other and server-webapp rule sets to provide coverage for emerging threats from these technologies.
