drivers/scsi/stex.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.9 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory because stex_queuecommand_lck lacks a memset for the PASSTHRU_CMD case.

An incorrect handling of the supplementary groups in the Buildah container engine might lead to the sensitive information disclosure or possible data modification if an attacker has direct access to the affected container where supplementary groups are used to set access permissions and is able to execute a binary code in that container.

Safety Check and Lockdown Mode give people in vulnerable situations ways to quarantine themselves from acute risks.

By Deeba Ahmed The proposal documents were leaked on a Russian hacking forum showing Intellexa is offering remote data extraction from Android and iOS devices in exchange for $8 million.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Friday added 10 new actively exploited vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, including a high-severity security flaw affecting industrial automation software from Delta Electronics. The issue, tracked as CVE-2021-38406 (CVSS score: 7.8), impacts DOPSoft 2 versions 2.00.07 and prior. A successful

Schema in lib/schema.js in Mongoose before 6.4.6 is vulnerable to prototype pollution.

Xpdf prior to version 4.04 contains an integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoder (JBIG2Stream::readSymbolDictSeg() in JBIG2Stream.cc). Processing a specially crafted PDF file or JBIG2 image could lead to a crash or the execution of arbitrary code. This is similar to the vulnerability described by CVE-2021-30860 (Apple CoreGraphics).

Separate fixes to macOS and iOS patch respective flaws in the kernel and WebKit that can allow threat actors to take over devices and are under attack.

By Jon Munshaw.  Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter.  As the data privacy landscape gets increasingly murky, app developers and device manufacturers are finding new ways to sure up users’ personal information. Of course, all users have to do is go out of their way to opt-in.  Apple recently announced a new Lockdown Mode for the iOS operating system that powers the company’s iPhones. When enabled, it turns off many of the features that attackers will exploit when targeting a mobile device with spyware. Spyware is a growing concern across the world, especially the NSO Group’s Pegasus tool.   With Lockdown Mode enabled, a hypothetical attacker would not have access to certain functions on the phone, and it blocks access to important APIs such as speech and facial recognition, which research has shown are relatively easy to bypass.  In a review of Lockdown Mode, Zack Whittaker of TechCrunch said, “...we didn’t find using our iPhone in Lockdown Mode t...

** UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED ** An issue in the UPnP protocol in 4thline cling 2.0.0 through 2.1.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via an unchecked CALLBACK parameter in the request header.
