Excessive ROP Exploits in Chrome

Anyone getting excessive ROP Exploits in Chrome?  Just in the past hour I've gotten 6 pop-ups about it and then another from Outlook (just opening a calendar item).

 

I am running the beta so it could be related to that.

 

Core Agent: 2.2.0 Beta

Endpoint Advanced: 10.8.3 Beta

Sophos Intercept X: 2.0.8

Google Chrome: 70.0.3538.77 (64-bit)

OS: Windows 7 Professional SP1 (64-bit)

  • Getting ROP as well.. different users, PC types etc - always seems to be for Chrome - Is there plan to fix this?

     

  • Hi Breakingcustom,

    Can you please confirm the Sophos Intercept X version? and if you are still seeing the same issue as mentioned in the below advisory for both the chrome and the office applications.

    ROP Exploit - Chrome Advisory - If you are seeing the ROP detections when streaming media from websites.

    ROP Exploit - Office 2013 - This is only seen with Intercept X 2.0.9 (Which was rolled back).

    In case if your issue is different from the above advisory, please follow this KBA and it would require a support ticket to be opened to investigate it further.

  • Thanks Gowtham. 

    It's probably related to: ROP Exploit - Chrome Advisory

  • Wouldn't be applicable to the Chrome Advisory since I'm running v70.  I'm also running 2.0.8 for InterceptX.

     

    This is the output from one of the errors in Hitman:

  • I just checked and most of these are also occurring on Chrome 70. 

  • Hello,

    I am seeing a very similar issue - Chrome 70 - latest version of Sophos Central.

    The slightly concerning part for me in that the clean seems to fail as well.

     

    From Event Log:

  • Hi Breakingcustom,

    This might require a support case to investigate further to confirm if this is the same issue as reported in the Chrome advisory or a separate issue. Please let me know if you already have a ticket open with our support. 

    Meanwhile, I will also try to contact the concerned team to confirm the same.

  • I'm seeing very similar issue. The advisory speaks of Chrome 69 and widevinecdm.dll, but this seems different since it occurs on Chrome 70 and the widevine dll is not involved. Only one "detection" so far. Would like to know from Sophos if this does or does not relate to the above mentioned advisory.
