Ubuntu Security Notice 7092-1 - It was discovered that mpg123 incorrectly handled certain mp3 files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted mp3 file, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause mpg123 to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

### Summary If File or UploadButton components are used as a part of Gradio application to preview file content, an attacker with access to the application might abuse these components to read arbitrary files from the application server. ### Details Consider the following application where a user can upload a file and preview its content: ``` import gradio as gr def greet(value: bytes): return str(value) demo = gr.Interface(fn=greet, inputs=gr.File(type="binary"), outputs="textbox") if __name__ == "__main__": demo.launch() ``` If we run this application and make the following request (which attempts to read the `/etc/passwd` file) ``` curl 'http://127.0.0.1:7860/gradio_api/run/predict' -H 'content-type: application/json' --data-raw '{"data":[{"path":"/etc/passwd","orig_name":"test.txt","size":4,"mime_type":"text/plain","meta":{"_type":"gradio.FileData"}}],"event_data":null,"fn_index":0,"trigger_id":8,"session_hash":"mnv42s5gt7"}' ``` Then this results in the following err...

### Summary Authentication method confusion allows logging in as the built-in root user from an external service. The built-in root user is generated in a weak manner, cannot be disabled, and has universal access. ### Details Until CodeChecker version 6.24.1 there was an auto-generated super-user account that could not be disabled. The attacker needs to know only the username of the root user. This root user is unconditionally assigned superuser permissions. Which means that if any user via any service logs in with the root user's username, they will unconditionally have superuser permissions on the CodeChecker instance. The name of the user name can be found in `root.user` file in the CodeChecker configuration directory. You can check if you are impacted by checking the existence of this user in the external authentication services (e.g. LDAP, PAM etc.). ### Impact This vulnerability allows an attacker who can create an account on an enabled external authentication service, to l...

### Summary Authentication bypass occurs when the API URL ends with Authentication, Configuration or ServerInfo. This bypass allows superuser access to all API endpoints other than Authentication. These endpoints include the ability to add, edit, and remove products, among others. ### Details All endpoints, apart from the /Authentication is affected by the vulnerability. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated users to access all API functionality. You can look for the following pattern in the logs to check if the vulnerabilty was exploited:  Note that the url starts with v and contains a valid CodeChecker endpoint, but it ends in `Authentication`, `Configuration` or `ServerInfo` and it was made by an `Anonymous` user. ### Impact This authentication bypass allows querying, adding, changing, and deleting Products contained on the CodeChecker server, without authentication, by an anonymous user....

Name: ASA-2024-011: Vote Extensions: Panic when receiving a Pre-commit with an invalid data Component: CometBFT Criticality: High (Considerable Impact, and Possible Likelihood per [ACMv1.2](https://github.com/interchainio/security/blob/main/resources/CLASSIFICATION_MATRIX.md)) Affected versions: `>= 0.38.x`, unreleased `v1.x` and `main` development branches Affected users: Chain Builders + Maintainers, Validators ### Impact A CometBFT node running in a network with [vote extensions][abci-spec] enabled could produce an invalid `Vote` message and send it to its peers. The invalid field of the `Vote` message is the `ValidatorIndex`, which identifies the sender in the `ValidatorSet` running that height of consensus. This field is ordinarily verified in the processing of `Vote` messages, but it turns out that in the case of a `Vote` message of type `Precommit` and for a non-`nil` `BlockID`, [a logic was introduced](https://github.com/cometbft/cometbft/blame/46621a87064b2ae235e122e66d9b224...

Fixes security vulnerability that allowed for server side code to be executed by a <script> tag ### Impact Consumers of the NPM package `happy-dom` ### Patches The security vulnerability has been patched in v15.10.1 ### Workarounds No easy workarounds to my knowledge ### References [#1585](https://github.com/capricorn86/happy-dom/issues/1585)

### Description On Window, when an executable file named `cmd.exe` is located in the current working directory it will be called by the `Process` class when preparing command arguments, leading to possible hijacking. ### Resolution The `Process` class now uses the absolute path to `cmd.exe`. The patch for this issue is available [here](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/commit/18ecd03eda3917fdf901a48e72518f911c64a1c9) for branch 5.4. ### Credits We would like to thank Jordi Boggiano for reporting the issue and Nicolas Grekas for providing the fix.

### Description The `Request` class, does not parse URI with special characters the same way browsers do. As a result, an attacker can trick a validator relying on the `Request` class to redirect users to another domain. ### Resolution The `Request::create` methods now assert the URI does not contain invalid characters as defined by https://url.spec.whatwg.org/ The patch for this issue is available [here](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/commit/5a9b08e5740af795854b1b639b7d45b9cbfe8819) for branch 5.4. ### Credits We would like to thank Sam Mush for reporting the issue and Nicolas Grekas for providing the fix.

### Description It is possible to trick a `Validator` configured with a regular expression using the `$` metacharacters, with an input ending with `\n`. ### Resolution Symfony now uses the `D` regex modifier to match the entire input. The patch for this issue is available [here](https://github.com/symfony/symfony/commit/7d1032bbead9a4229b32fa6ebca32681c80cb76f) for branch 5.4. ### Credits We would like to thank Offscript for reporting the issue and Alexandre Daubois for providing the fix.
