Bluetooth Classic in Bluetooth Core Specification through 5.3 does not properly conceal device information for Bluetooth transceivers in Non-Discoverable mode. By conducting an efficient over-the-air attack, an attacker can fully extract the permanent, unique Bluetooth MAC identifier, along with device capabilities and identifiers, some of which may contain identifying information about the device owner. This additionally allows the attacker to establish a connection to the target device.

This article is the fourth in a six-part series where we present various use cases for confidential computing—a set of technologies designed to protect data in use, like memory encryption, and what needs to be done to get the technologies’ security and trust benefits. In this article, we will focus on establishing a chain of trust and introduce a very simple pipeline called REMITS that we can use to compare and contrast various forms of attestation using a single referential. Part 1: Confidential computing primer Part 2: Attestation in confidential computing Part 3: Confidential

Heap Buffer Overflow in the erofs_read_one_data function at data.c in erofs-utils v1.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted erofs filesystem image.

Heap Buffer Overflow in the erofsfsck_dirent_iter function in fsck/main.c in erofs-utils v1.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted erofs filesystem image.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2023-3408-01 - OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security protocols, as well as a full-strength general-purpose cryptography library. Issues addressed include double free and use-after-free vulnerabilities.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6127-1 - Patryk Sondej and Piotr Krysiuk discovered that a race condition existed in the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel when processing batch requests, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Gwangun Jung discovered that the Quick Fair Queueing scheduler implementation in the Linux kernel contained an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2023-3397-01 - QATzip is a user space library which builds on top of the Intel QuickAssist Technology user space library, to provide extended accelerated compression and decompression services by offloading the actual compression and decompression request to the Intel Chipset Series. Issues addressed include a privilege escalation vulnerability.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2023-3403-01 - The pcs packages provide a command-line configuration system for the Pacemaker and Corosync utilities. Issues addressed include a denial of service vulnerability.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2023-3394-01 - The Public Key Infrastructure Core contains fundamental packages required by Red Hat Certificate System.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2023-3388-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Issues addressed include bypass and use-after-free vulnerabilities.
