<p>For some time now, the conversation around what poses risk in software vulnerabilities has been evolving. It has been gratifying to hear other voices amplifying what I, and generally Red Hat, have been saying for years: not all vulnerabilities in software matter, and not all vulnerabilities in software are created equal. A number of industry leaders in the security space have been saying this, and those voices are becoming louder and harder to ignore. More importantly, as I talk to customers, the message is beginning to resonate. And that’s for one simple reason:</p&a
A flaw was found in tiffcrop, a program distributed by the libtiff package. A specially crafted tiff file can lead to an out-of-bounds read in the extractImageSection function in tools/tiffcrop.c, resulting in a denial of service and limited information disclosure. This issue affects libtiff versions 4.x.
A flaw was found in openvswitch (OVS). When processing an IP packet with protocol 0, OVS will install the datapath flow without the action modifying the IP header. This issue results (for both kernel and userspace datapath) in installing a datapath flow matching all IP protocols (nw_proto is wildcarded) for this flow, but with an incorrect action, possibly causing incorrect handling of other IP packets with a != 0 IP protocol that matches this dp flow.
By Waqas KillNet claims it carried out cyberattacks that resulted in the "paralysis" of 40% of NATO's electronic infrastructure. This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: KillNet Claims Creating Gay Dating Profiles with NATO Logins
Debian Linux Security Advisory 5384-1 - Multiple security vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenImageIO, a library for reading and writing images. Buffer overflows and out-of-bounds read and write programming errors may lead to a denial of service (application crash) or the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed image file is processed.
An issue found in APUS Group Launcher v.3.10.73 and v.3.10.88 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the FONT_FILE parameter.
Paradox Security Systems version IPR512 suffers from a denial of service vulnerability.
Threat actors are flooding the npm open source package repository with bogus packages that briefly even resulted in a denial-of-service (DoS) attack. "The threat actors create malicious websites and publish empty packages with links to those malicious websites, taking advantage of open-source ecosystems' good reputation on search engines," Checkmarx's Jossef Harush Kadouri said in a report
D-Link DIR878 1.30B08 was discovered to contain a stack overflow in the sub_498308 function. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted payload.
socket.c in GNU Screen through 4.9.0, when installed setuid or setgid (the default on platforms such as Arch Linux and FreeBSD), allows local users to send a privileged SIGHUP signal to any PID, causing a denial of service or disruption of the target process.
