Packet Storm

tcpdump allows you to dump the traffic on a network. It can be used to print out the headers and/or contents of packets on a network interface that matches a given expression. You can use this tool to track down network problems, to detect many attacks, or to monitor the network activities.

GNUnet is a peer-to-peer framework with focus on providing security. All peer-to-peer messages in the network are confidential and authenticated. The framework provides a transport abstraction layer and can currently encapsulate the network traffic in UDP (IPv4 and IPv6), TCP (IPv4 and IPv6), HTTP, or SMTP messages. GNUnet supports accounting to provide contributing nodes with better service. The primary service build on top of the framework is anonymous file sharing.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5311-1 - Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Apache Traffic Server, a reverse and forward proxy server, which could result in HTTP request smuggling, cache poisoning or denial of service.

cryptmount is a utility for creating and managing secure filing systems on GNU/Linux systems. After initial setup, it allows any user to mount or unmount filesystems on demand, solely by providing the decryption password, with any system devices needed to access the filing system being configured automatically. A wide variety of encryption schemes (provided by the kernel dm-crypt system and the libgcrypt library) can be used to protect both the filesystem and the access key. The protected filing systems can reside in either ordinary files or disk partitions. The package also supports encrypted swap partitions, and automatic configuration on system boot-up.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5794-1 - It was discovered that the NFSD implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle some RPC messages, leading to a buffer overflow. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Tamás Koczka discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP handshake implementation in the Linux kernel contained multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

A vb2_mmap race with vb2_core_reqbufs leads to a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux videobuf2 system.

In this paper, the author subjects the vulnerable web application vulnweb.com, developed by Acunetix, to security tests. Acunetix is a web application where we can perform legal penetration tests. The author discusses how to infiltrate the target system by acting as a real hacker through this application. Written in Turkish.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5793-1 - It was discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly perform reference counting in some situations, leading to a use- after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Android Binder IPC subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5792-1 - Mingwei Zhang discovered that the KVM implementation for AMD processors in the Linux kernel did not properly handle cache coherency with Secure Encrypted Virtualization. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Android Binder IPC subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Eatself version 1.1.5 suffers from a remote SQL injection vulnerability that allows for authentication bypass.
