On February 24, the Cyber Threat Alert Level was evaluated and is remaining at Blue (Guarded) due to vulnerabilities in Webkit and Mozilla products. On February 17, the MS-ISAC released an advisory for a vulnerability in WebKit GTK and WPE WebKit which could allow for arbitrary code execution. On February 24, the MS-ISAC released an advisory for multiple vulnerabilities in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution. Organizations and users are advised to update and apply all appropriate vendor security patches to vulnerable systems and to continue to update their antivirus signatures daily. Another line of defense includes user awareness training regarding the threats posed by attachments and hypertext links contained in emails especially from un-trusted sources.
