Ubuntu Security Notice 6127-1 - Patryk Sondej and Piotr Krysiuk discovered that a race condition existed in the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel when processing batch requests, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Gwangun Jung discovered that the Quick Fair Queueing scheduler implementation in the Linux kernel contained an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Cisco Talos has observed a threat actor deploying a previously unidentified botnet program Talos is calling “Horabot,” which delivers a known banking trojan and spam tool onto victim machines in a campaign that has been ongoing since at least November 2020.

DataSpider Servista version 4.4 and earlier uses a hard-coded cryptographic key. DataSpider Servista is data integration software. ScriptRunner and ScriptRunner for Amazon SQS are used to start the configured processes on DataSpider Servista. The cryptographic key is embedded in ScriptRunner and ScriptRunner for Amazon SQS, which is common to all users. If an attacker who can gain access to a target DataSpider Servista instance and obtain a Launch Settings file of ScriptRunner and/or ScriptRunner for Amazon SQS, the attacker may perform operations with the user privilege encrypted in the file.

Pydio Cells versions 4.1.2 and below implement the download of files using presigned URLs which are generated using the Amazon AWS SDK for JavaScript. The secrets used to sign these URLs are hardcoded and exposed through the JavaScript files of the web application. Therefore, it is possible to generate valid signatures for arbitrary download URLs. By uploading an HTML file and modifying the download URL to serve the file inline instead of as an attachment, any included JavaScript code is executed when the URL is opened in a browser, leading to a cross site scripting vulnerability.

Django-SES is a drop-in mail backend for Django. The django_ses library implements a mail backend for Django using AWS Simple Email Service. The library exports the `SESEventWebhookView class` intended to receive signed requests from AWS to handle email bounces, subscriptions, etc. These requests are signed by AWS and are verified by django_ses, however the verification of this signature was found to be flawed as it allowed users to specify arbitrary public certificates. This issue was patched in version 3.5.0.

Steam, the most popular video game storefront on PCs, only recently announced that it was ending support for Windows 7 and 8, and even then, it won’t be official until January.

Amazon Alexa software version 8960323972 on Echo Dot 2nd generation and 3rd generation devices potentially allows attackers to deliver security-relevant commands via an audio signal between 16 and 22 kHz (often outside the range of human adult hearing). Commands at these frequencies are essentially never spoken by authorized actors, but a substantial fraction of the commands are successful.
