    The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have raised the alarm on a recent PaperCut vulnerability being exploited in ransomware attacks targeting the education sector.

    Described as an improper access control issue in the PaperCut MF/NG print management system and tracked as CVE-2023-27350 (CVSS score of 9.8), the flaw allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary code on vulnerable devices, with System privileges.

    ARM instructions do less work?

    [11:48] schestowitz

    Modern processors can execute several instructions per cycle. Because processors cannot easily run faster (in terms of clock speed), vendors try to get their processors to do more work per cycle.
