### Impact An Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability has been found in the ImageSharp gif decoder, allowing attackers to cause a crash using a specially crafted gif. This can potentially lead to denial of service. ### Patches The problem has been patched. All users are advised to upgrade to v3.1.5 or v2.1.9. ### Workarounds None. ### References https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp/pull/2754 https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp/pull/2756
### Impact Users using the `ValidatingResolver` for DNSSEC validation can run into CPU exhaustion with specially crafted DNSSEC-signed zones. ### Patches Users should upgrade to dnsjava v3.6.0 ### Workarounds Although not recommended, only using a non-validating resolver, will remove the vulnerability. ### References https://www.athene-center.de/en/keytrap
### Summary This report details a security vulnerability in Argo CD, where an unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted large JSON payload to the /api/webhook endpoint, causing excessive memory allocation that leads to service disruption by triggering an Out Of Memory (OOM) kill. The issue poses a high risk to the availability of Argo CD deployments. ### Details The webhook server always listens to requests. By default, the endpoint doesn't require authentication. It's possible to send a large, malicious request with headers (in this case "X-GitHub-Event: push") that will make ArgoCD start allocating memory to parse the incoming request. Since the request can be constructed client-side without allocating large amounts of memory, it can be arbitrarily large. Eventually, the argocd-server component will get OOMKilled as it consumes all its available memory. The fix would be to enforce a limit on the size of the request being parsed. ### PoC Port-forward to the argocd-serve...
Ubuntu Security Notice 6903-1 - Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, cross-site tracing, or execute arbitrary code. Ronald Crane discovered that Thunderbird did not properly manage certain memory operations in the NSS. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service.
Law enforcement officials in the U.K. have arrested a 17-year-old boy from Walsall who is suspected to be a member of the notorious Scattered Spider cybercrime syndicate. The arrest was made "in connection with a global cyber online crime group which has been targeting large organizations with ransomware and gaining access to computer networks," West Midlands police said. "The arrest is part of
Ubuntu Security Notice 6896-4 - It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the Atheros 802.11ac wireless driver did not properly validate certain data structures, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.
Ubuntu Security Notice 6898-3 - Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. Gui-Dong Han discovered that the software RAID driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-4633-03 - An update for 389-ds-base is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 Extended Update Support. Issues addressed include denial of service and heap overflow vulnerabilities.
An improper input validation of the p2c parameter in the Apache CXF JOSE code before 4.0.5, 3.6.4 and 3.5.9 allows an attacker to perform a denial of service attack by specifying a large value for this parameter in a token.
