Dead Man Appointment Triggers Sacking of Aides in South Sudan

South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir dismissed his press secretary and a ministry administrator after an apparently flawed appointment put a deceased man, Steward Soroba Budia, on a panel to lead talks on December elections. Kiir’s office gave no reasons; the press secretary said the error stemmed from relying on stakeholders for names without proper verification. Budia, who died five years ago, had signed a 2018 peace agreement, and the panel is meant to steer elections amid ongoing conflict and displacement.

Arcserve has addressed a high-severity security flaw in its Unified Data Protection (UDP) backup software that allows attackers to bypass authentication and gain admin privileges. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-26258, was discovered by security researchers and enables attackers on the local network to access the UDP admin interface by capturing SOAP requests containing AuthUUIDs to obtain valid administrator sessions. Arcserve has released UDP 9.1 to fix the vulnerability and recommends all users upgrade to this version. The flaw could potentially be used by threat actors to destroy data in ransomware attacks.
