Debian Linux Security Advisory 5298-1 - Two security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Cacti, a web interface for graphing of monitoring systems, which could result in unauthenticated command injection or LDAP authentication bypass.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5297-1 - A buffer overflow was discovered in the VNC module of the VLC media player, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5296-1 - Robin Peraglie and Johannes Moritz discovered an argument injection bug in the xfce4-mime-helper component of xfce4-settings, which can be exploited using the xdg-open common tool. Since xdg-open is used by multiple standard applications for opening links, this bug could be exploited by an attacker to run arbitrary code on an user machine by providing a malicious PDF file with specifically crafted links.

Critical infrastructure is important for societal existence, growth, and development. Societies are reliant on the services provided by critical infrastructure sectors like telecommunication, energy, healthcare, transportation, and information technology. Safety and security are necessary for the optimal operation of these critical infrastructures. Critical infrastructure is made up of digital

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5295-1 - A security issue was discovered in Chromium, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5294-1 - Jhead, a tool for manipulating EXIF data embedded in JPEG images, allowed attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands by placing them in a JPEG filename and then using the regeneration -rgt50, -autorot or -ce option. In addition a buffer overflow error in exif.c has been addressed which could lead to a denial of service (application crash).

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5293-1 - Multiple security issues were discovered in Chromium, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code, denial of service or information disclosure.

SwiftTerm is a Xterm/VT100 Terminal emulator. Prior to commit a94e6b24d24ce9680ad79884992e1dff8e150a31, an attacker could modify the window title via a certain character escape sequence and then insert it back to the command line in the user's terminal, e.g. when the user views a file containing the malicious sequence, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands. Version a94e6b24d24ce9680ad79884992e1dff8e150a31 contains a patch for this issue. There are no known workarounds available.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5292-1 - The Qualys Research Team discovered a race condition in the snapd-confine binary which could result in local privilege escalation.

The Synthetic Monitoring Agent for Grafana's Synthetic Monitoring application provides probe functionality and executes network checks for monitoring remote targets. Users running the Synthetic Monitoring agent prior to version 0.12.0 in their local network are impacted. The authentication token used to communicate with the Synthetic Monitoring API is exposed through a debugging endpoint. This token can be used to retrieve the Synthetic Monitoring checks created by the user and assigned to the agent identified with that token. The Synthetic Monitoring API will reject connections from already-connected agents, so access to the token does not guarantee access to the checks. Version 0.12.0 contains a fix. Users are advised to rotate the agent tokens. After upgrading to version v0.12.0 or later, it's recommended that users of distribution packages review the configuration stored in `/etc/synthetic-monitoring/synthetic-monitoring-agent.conf`, specifically the `API_TOKEN` variable which has ...
