Talos Rules 2020-03-23
This release adds and modifies rules in several categories.

Two remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in Microsoft Windows when the Windows Adobe Type Manager Library improperly handles a specially-crafted multi-master font - Adobe Type 1 PostScript format.

Rules to detect attacks targeting these vulnerabilities are included in this release and are identified with GID 1, SIDs 53489 through 53492.

Talos also has added and modified multiple rules in the file-office, file-other, file-pdf, malware-cnc and protocol-scada rule sets to provide coverage for emerging threats from these technologies.
