Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-1877-03 - An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 Extended Update Support. Issues addressed include denial of service, information leakage, null pointer, and use-after-free vulnerabilities.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-1876-03 - An update for shim is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 Extended Update Support. Issues addressed include buffer overflow, bypass, integer overflow, and out of bounds read vulnerabilities.

pgAdmin versions 8.3 and below have a path traversal vulnerability within their session management logic that can allow a pickled file to be loaded from an arbitrary location. This can be used to load a malicious, serialized Python object to execute code within the context of the target application. This exploit supports two techniques by which the payload can be loaded, depending on whether or not credentials are specified. If valid credentials are provided, Metasploit will login to pgAdmin and upload a payload object using pgAdmin's file management plugin. Once uploaded, this payload is executed via the path traversal before being deleted using the file management plugin. This technique works for both Linux and Windows targets. If no credentials are provided, Metasploit will start an SMB server and attempt to trigger loading the payload via a UNC path. This technique only works for Windows targets. For Windows 10 v1709 (Redstone 3) and later, it also requires that insecure outbound g...

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5655-2 - The update of cockpit released in DSA 5655-1 did not correctly build binary packages due to unit test failures when building against libssh 0.10.6. This update corrects that problem.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5662-1 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Apache HTTP server, which may result in HTTP response splitting or denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6726-3 - Pratyush Yadav discovered that the Xen network backend implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle zero length data request, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the IPv6 implementation of the Linux kernel did not properly manage route cache memory usage. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6725-2 - Chih-Yen Chang discovered that the KSMBD implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate certain data structure fields when parsing lease contexts, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information. Quentin Minster discovered that a race condition existed in the KSMBD implementation in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6724-2 - Pratyush Yadav discovered that the Xen network backend implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle zero length data request, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the Habana's AI Processors driver in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize certain data structures before passing them to user space. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-1856-03 - An update for opencryptoki is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 Extended Update Support.
