Snort rule update for Jan. 10, 2019

Just released:
Snort Subscriber Rule Set Update for Jan. 10, 2019

Cisco Talos released the newest SNORTⓇ rule set today. In this release, we introduced 19 new rules, none of which are shared object rules. There are also 56 modified rules.

This release continues to provide coverage for a slew of bugs that Adobe reported in Acrobat and Reader earlier this month. It also includes new protection against the UPPERCUT backdoor, most recently seen in the wild being used by APT10.
There were no changes made to the snort.conf in this release.

Talos's rule release:
Talos has added and modified multiple rules in the browser-ie, file-image, file-other, file-pdf, indicator-compromise, malware-cnc and server-webapp rule sets to provide coverage for emerging threats from these technologies.
As a reminder, today is the last day that we will be covering Snort version 2.9.11.0. We urge everyone using that version to update as soon as possible.

You can subscribe to Talos' newest rule detection functionality for as low as $29 a year with a personal account. Be sure and see our business pricing as well here. Make sure and stay up to date to catch the most emerging threats.
