An ongoing malware campaign has been found exploiting recently disclosed vulnerabilities in network-attached storage devices running on Linux systems. The attacks deploy a new malware variant called “FreakOut” by leveraging critical flaws fixed in Laminas Project (formerly Zend Framework) and Liferay Portal as well as an unpatched security weakness in TerraMaster. The malware also comes with extensive capabilities that allow it to perform various tasks, including port scanning, information gathering, creation and sending of data packets.
