CVE-2023-43646: Merge pull request from GHSA-4q6p-r6v2-jvc5 · chaijs/get-func-name@f934b22

get-func-name is a module to retrieve a function's name securely and consistently both in NodeJS and the browser. Versions prior to 2.0.1 are subject to a regular expression denial of service (redos) vulnerability which may lead to a denial of service when parsing malicious input. This vulnerability can be exploited when there is an imbalance in parentheses, which results in excessive backtracking and subsequently increases the CPU load and processing time significantly. This vulnerability can be triggered using the following input: '\t'.repeat(54773) + '\t/function/i'. This issue has been addressed in commit `f934b228b` which has been included in releases from 2.0.1. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

CVE-2023-41996: About the security content of macOS Ventura 13.6

The issue was addressed with improved checks. This issue is fixed in macOS Ventura 13.6. Apps that fail verification checks may still launch.

CVE-2023-5176: Security Vulnerabilities fixed in Firefox 118

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 117, Firefox ESR 115.2, and Thunderbird 115.2. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 118, Firefox ESR < 115.3, and Thunderbird < 115.3.

CVE-2023-5171: Invalid Bug ID

During Ion compilation, a Garbage Collection could have resulted in a use-after-free condition, allowing an attacker to write two NUL bytes, and cause a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 118, Firefox ESR < 115.3, and Thunderbird < 115.3.

CVE-2023-5168: Invalid Bug ID

A compromised content process could have provided malicious data to `FilterNodeD2D1` resulting in an out-of-bounds write, leading to a potentially exploitable crash in a privileged process. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 118, Firefox ESR < 115.3, and Thunderbird < 115.3.

CVE-2023-40429: About the security content of watchOS 10

A permissions issue was addressed with improved validation. This issue is fixed in tvOS 17, iOS 17 and iPadOS 17, watchOS 10, macOS Sonoma 14. An app may be able to access sensitive user data.

CVE-2023-5197

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. Addition and removal of rules from chain bindings within the same transaction causes leads to use-after-free. We recommend upgrading past commit f15f29fd4779be8a418b66e9d52979bb6d6c2325.

CVE-2023-41335: Avoid temporary storage of sensitive information. by clokep · Pull Request #16272 · matrix-org/synapse

Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver written and maintained by the Matrix.org Foundation. When users update their passwords, the new credentials may be briefly held in the server database. While this doesn't grant the server any added capabilities—it already learns the users' passwords as part of the authentication process—it does disrupt the expectation that passwords won't be stored in the database. As a result, these passwords could inadvertently be captured in database backups for a longer duration. These temporarily stored passwords are automatically erased after a 48-hour window. This issue has been addressed in version 1.93.0. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

CVE-2023-42453: Improper validation of receipts allows forged read receipts

Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver written and maintained by the Matrix.org Foundation. Users were able to forge read receipts for any event (if they knew the room ID and event ID). Note that the users were not able to view the events, but simply mark it as read. This could be confusing as clients will show the event as read by the user, even if they are not in the room. This issue has been patched in version 1.93.0. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

CVE-2023-40384: About the security content of iOS 17 and iPadOS 17

A permissions issue was addressed with improved redaction of sensitive information. This issue is fixed in tvOS 17, iOS 17 and iPadOS 17, macOS Sonoma 14. An app may be able to read sensitive location information.
