Issue/Introduction

Impact of BPFDoor malware  on SSLV 

Reference link 

BPFDoor is a Linux-based backdoor that has been observed in attacks against various industries in Asia and the Middle East. Named for its use of Berkeley Packet Filtering, the malware implements a filter that activates functionality based on specific sequences found during network packet inspection. The malware opens a reverse shell which would allow attackers further access into compromised networks, exposing additional systems and sensitive data.

Resolution

SSLV runs a proprietary/closed OS.

The malware or any external software/code cannot be installed on it.

Since SSLV runs a closed/proprietary operating system, the malware cannot open the reverse shell on SSLV 

Considering all the above factors, SSLV cannot be exploited by BPFDoor malware
