Synology hurries out patches for zero-days exploited at Pwn2Own (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

As Synology explains in security advisories published two days after the flaws were demoed at Pwn2Own Ireland 2024 to hijack a Synology BeeStation BST150-4T device, the security flaws enable remote attackers to gain remote code execution as root on vulnerable NAS appliances exposed online.

"The vulnerability was initially discovered, within just a few hours, as a replacement for another Pwn2Own submission. The issue was disclosed to Synology immediately after demonstration, and within 48 hours a patch was made available which resolves the vulnerability," Midnight Blue said.

From a different source:

Synology proactively sponsors and works with security researchers as part of product security initiatives. At this year's Pwn2Own Ireland 2024 event, which took place in late October, we successfully discovered and resolved multiple security vulnerabilities.

While these vulnerabilities are not being exploited, we recommend all Synology device administrators immediately take action to secure their systems by updating due to the scope and severity of specific issues.

If someone knows how to apply security updates to ancient NAS from the brand I'm interested. Sadly mine is out of the loop, I guess I'll have to harden it like hell then

Don't make it available from internet. This will solve the issue.

If it is not possible, once the cve is published and properly described, perhaps there is another way to secure it via an external proxy or even a waf.

If you have unsupported Sw, it is always a pain in the ass to keep them secure so try to figure out always the first point

Thanks, I've read this countless times but that's basically half of the use I make from my NAS so no.

I'll try to secure it and still use it from outside / Internet then.

Tailscale is available as an official DSM package, so if it’s only you accessing it you could still block it from the Internet.
