**Name**: ASA-2024-008: Instability during blocksync when syncing from malicious peer **Component**: CometBFT **Criticality**: Medium ([ACMv1](https://github.com/interchainio/security/blob/main/resources/CLASSIFICATION_MATRIX.md): I:Moderate; L: Possible) **Affected versions**: < v0.38.7 # Summary An issue was identified for nodes syncing on an existing network during blocksync in which a malicious peer could cause the syncing peer to panic, enter into a catastrophic invalid syncing state or get stuck in blocksync mode, never switching to consensus. It is recommended for all clients to adopt this patch so that blocksync functions as expected and is tolerant of malicious peers presenting invalid data in this situation. Nodes that are vulnerable to this state may experience a Denial of Service condition in which syncing will not work as expected when joining a network as a client. # Recognition This issue was reported to the Cosmos Bug Bounty Program on HackerOne on 5/01/24 by unknow...

A group of security researchers from the Graz University of Technology have demonstrated a new side-channel attack known as SnailLoad that could be used to remotely infer a user's web activity. "SnailLoad exploits a bottleneck present on all Internet connections," the researchers said in a study released this week. "This bottleneck influences the latency of network packets, allowing an attacker

Multiple security flaws have been disclosed in Emerson Rosemount gas chromatographs that could be exploited by malicious actors to obtain sensitive information, induce a denial-of-service (DoS) condition, and even execute arbitrary commands. The flaws impact GC370XA, GC700XA, and GC1500XA and reside in versions 4.1.5 and prior. According to operational technology (OT) security firm Claroty, the

In today's networked digital world, application programming interface (API) security is a crucial component in safeguarding private information and strengthening the integrity of online transactions. The potential for attack has increased dramatically as a result of the growing use of applications that depend on APIs to communicate across systems and services.It's also important to protect against malevolent actors who try to take advantage of API vulnerabilities for illegal access, data breaches and service interruptions. Strong API security measures are needed to establish trust, reduce risk

In h2oai/h2o-3 version 3.46.0, the `run_tool` command in the `rapids` component allows the `main` function of any class under the `water.tools` namespace to be called. One such class, `MojoConvertTool`, crashes the server when invoked with an invalid argument, causing a denial of service.

A report in March found that 72% of cryptocurrency projects had died since 2020, with crypto trading platform FTX’s downfall taking out many of them in one fell swoop.

Wireless service providers prioritize uptime and lag time, occasionally at the cost of security, allowing attackers to take advantage, steal data, and worse.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5722-1 - It was discovered that multiple integer overflows in libvpx, a multimedia library for the VP8 and VP9 video codecs, may result in denial of service and potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5721-1 - Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the FFmpeg multimedia framework, which could result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if malformed files/streams are processed.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-4160-03 - An update for java-1.8.0-ibm is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Supplementary. Issues addressed include a denial of service vulnerability.
