Packet Storm

Zeek is a powerful network analysis framework that is much different from the typical IDS you may know. While focusing on network security monitoring, Zeek provides a comprehensive platform for more general network traffic analysis as well. Well grounded in more than 15 years of research, Zeek has successfully bridged the traditional gap between academia and operations since its inception. Today, it is relied upon operationally in particular by many scientific environments for securing their cyber-infrastructure. Zeek's user community includes major universities, research labs, supercomputing centers, and open-science communities. This is the source code release.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5816-1 - The Qualys Threat Research Unit discovered that libmodule-scandeps-perl, a Perl module to recursively scan Perl code for dependencies, allows an attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands via specially crafted file names.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5815-1 - The Qualys Threat Research Unit discovered several local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in needrestart, a utility to check which daemons need to be restarted after library upgrades. A local attacker can execute arbitrary code as root by tricking needrestart into running the Python interpreter with an attacker-controlled PYTHONPATH environment variable (CVE-2024-48990) or running the Ruby interpreter with an attacker-controlled RUBYLIB environment variable (CVE-2024-48992). Additionally a local attacker can trick needrestart into running a fake Python interpreter (CVE-2024-48991) or cause needrestart to call the Perl module Module::ScanDeps with attacker-controlled files (CVE-2024-11003).

Ubuntu Security Notice 7123-1 - It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate certain SMB messages, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information. Supraja Sridhara, Benedict Schlüter, Mark Kuhne, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that the Confidential Computing framework in the Linux kernel for x86 platforms did not properly handle 32-bit emulation on TDX and SEV. An attacker with access to the VMM could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7121-2 - Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7120-2 - Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7122-1 - A security issue was discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use this to compromise the system.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7121-1 - Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7120-1 - Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7119-1 - Ziming Zhang discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU DRM driver in the Linux kernel contained an integer overflow vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
