**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R) and privileges required  is low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An authorized attacker must send the user a malicious file and convince the user to open it.

**Why is the MITRE Corporation the assigning CNA (CVE Numbering Authority)?** CVE-2023-50868 is regarding a vulnerability in DNSSEC validation where an attacker could exploit standard DNSSEC protocols intended for DNS integrity by using excessive resources on a resolver, causing a denial of service for legitimate users. MITRE created this CVE on their behalf. Please see CVE-2023-50868 for more information.

In the last few years, several Red Hat customers have asked how to add a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to the OpenShift ingress to protect all externally facing applications.A WAF is a Layer 7 capability that protects applications against some types of web-based attacks, including but not limited to Cross Site Request Forgery (CRSF), Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and SQL injection (for a more comprehensive list of all known web based attacks, see here).Unfortunately, OpenShift does not have these capabilities included within the default ingress router, and as a result, alternate solutions must

ANSSI, the National Cybersecurity Agency of France (Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d'information), provides a configuration guide for GNU/Linux systems. It's identified as ANSSI-BP-028 (formerly known as ANSSI DAT NT-028). Recently, ANSSI published an update of its ANSSI-BP-028 configuration recommendations. In this post, I review what has changed from version 1.2 to 2.0, and what it might mean for you as a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) user. Most importantly, I also illustrate how to verify compliance of your systems with this updated Security Content Automation Protocol (S

### Impact There are two separate code paths in which memory can be allocated per message in excess of the `grpc.max_receive_message_length` channel option: 1. If an incoming message has a size on the wire greater than the configured limit, the entire message is buffered before it is discarded. 2. If an incoming message has a size within the limit on the wire but decompresses to a size greater than the limit, the entire message is decompressed into memory, and on the server is not discarded. ### Patches This has been patched in versions 1.10.9, 1.9.15, and 1.8.22

## Summary It is possible to introduce user-controlled JavaScript code and trigger a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in some cases. ## Actions Taken - Updated the documentation to clarify that while `ghtml` escapes characters with special meaning in HTML, it does not provide comprehensive protection against all types of XSS attacks in every scenario. **_This aligns with the approach taken by other template engines. Developers should be cautious and take additional measures to sanitize user input and prevent potential vulnerabilities._** More reading: https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Cross_Site_Scripting_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet.html - The backtick character (`) is now also escaped to prevent the creation of strings in most cases where a malicious actor somehow gains the ability to write JavaScript. This does not provide comprehensive protection either.

### Impact The `status`, `reinstall` and `remove` commands with packages installed from source via git containing specially crafted branch names in the repository can be used to execute code. ### Patches 2.2.24 for 2.2 LTS or 2.7.7 for mainline ### Workarounds Avoid installing dependencies via git by using `--prefer-dist` or the `preferred-install: dist` config setting.

### Impact The `composer install` command running inside a git/hg repository which has specially crafted branch names can lead to command injection. So this requires cloning untrusted repositories. ### Patches 2.2.24 for 2.2 LTS or 2.7.7 for mainline ### Workarounds Avoid cloning potentially compromised repositories.

Langflow through 0.6.19 allows remote code execution if untrusted users are able to reach the "POST /api/v1/custom_component" endpoint and provide a Python script.

Pseudonymous masking has made credit card transactions more secure, but Visa has even greater plans for tokenization: giving users control of their data.
