### Impact When parsing compact JWS or JWE input, go-jose could use excessive memory. The code used strings.Split(token, ".") to split JWT tokens, which is vulnerable to excessive memory consumption when processing maliciously crafted tokens with a large number of '.' characters. An attacker could exploit this by sending numerous malformed tokens, leading to memory exhaustion and a Denial of Service. ### Patches Version 4.0.5 fixes this issue ### Workarounds Applications could pre-validate payloads passed to go-jose do not contain an excessive number of '.' characters. ### References This is the same sort of issue as in the golang.org/x/oauth2/jws package as CVE-2025-22868 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/71490.
The http parser in Phusion Passenger 6.0.21 through 6.0.25 before 6.0.26 allows a denial of service during parsing of a request with an invalid HTTP method.
### Impact An authenticated user can crash lakeFS by exhausting server memory. This is an authenticated denial-of-service issue. ### Patches This problem has been patched and exists in versions 1.49.1 and below ### Workarounds On S3 backends, configure ```yaml # ... blockstore: s3: disable_pre_signed_multipart: true ``` or set environment variable `LAKEFS_BLOCKSTORE_S3_DISABLE_PRE_SIGNED_MULTIPART` to `true`. ### References _Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_
### Impact A maliciously crafted QPY file containing a malformed `symengine` serialization stream as part of the larger QPY serialization of a `ParameterExpression` object can cause a segfault within the `symengine` library, allowing an attacker to terminate the hosting process deserializing the QPY payload. ### Patches This issue is addressed in 1.3.0 when using QPY format version 13. QPY format versions 10, 11, and 12 are all still inherently vulnerable if they are using symengine symbolic encoding and `symengine <= 0.13.0` is installed in the deserializing environment (as of publishing there is no newer compatible release of symengine available). Using QPY 13 is strongly recommended for this reason. The symengine 0.14.0 release has addressed the segfault issue, but it is backward incompatible and will not work with any Qiskit release; it also prevents loading a payload generated with any other version of symengine. Using QPY 13 is strongly recommended for this reason. It is als...

Two critical OpenSSH vulnerabilities discovered! Qualys TRU finds client and server flaws (CVE-2025-26465 & CVE-2025-26466) enabling MITM and…
Two security vulnerabilities have been discovered in the OpenSSH secure networking utility suite that, if successfully exploited, could result in an active machine-in-the-middle (MitM) and a denial-of-service (DoS) attack, respectively, under certain conditions. The vulnerabilities, detailed by the Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU), are listed below - CVE-2025-26465 - The OpenSSH client
### Impact The Keylime `registrar` implemented more strict type checking on version 7.12.0. As a result, when updated to version 7.12.0, the `registrar` will not accept the format of the data previously stored in the database by versions >= 7.8.0, raising an exception. This makes the Keylime `registrar` vulnerable to a Denial-of-Service attack in an update scenario, as an attacker could populate the `registrar` database by creating multiple valid agent registrations with different UUIDs while the version is still < 7.12.0. Then, when the Keylime `registrar` is updated to the 7.12.0 version, any query to the database matching any of the entries populated by the attacker will result in failure. ### Patches Users should upgrade to versions >= 7.12.1 ### Workarounds - Remove the registrar database and re-register all agents ### Credit Reported by: Anderson Toshiyuki Sasaki/@ansasaki Patched by: Anderson Toshiyuki Sasaki/@ansasaki
### Summary The regular expression `/<([^>]+)>; rel="deprecation"/` used to match the `link` header in HTTP responses is vulnerable to a ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service) attack. This vulnerability arises due to the unbounded nature of the regex's matching behavior, which can lead to catastrophic backtracking when processing specially crafted input. An attacker could exploit this flaw by sending a malicious `link` header, resulting in excessive CPU usage and potentially causing the server to become unresponsive, impacting service availability. ### Details The vulnerability resides in the regular expression `/<([^>]+)>; rel="deprecation"/`, which is used to match the `link` header in HTTP responses. This regular expression captures content between angle brackets (`<>`) followed by `; rel="deprecation"`. However, the pattern is vulnerable to ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service) attacks due to its susceptibility to catastrophic backtracking when processing malicious inp...
