The Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol allows automated interactions between certificate authorities and your servers. This means you can automate the deployment of your public key infrastructure at a low cost, with relatively little effort. ACME provides automated identifier validation and certificate issuance, and its goal is to improve security by providing certificates with a short lifespan (3 months by default, in line with the Let’s Encrypt specification), and by avoiding manual (and error-prone) processes from certificate lifecycle management. The Let’s Enc

### Impact runc 1.1.13 and earlier as well as 1.2.0-rc2 and earlier can be tricked into creating empty files or directories in arbitrary locations in the host filesystem by sharing a volume between two containers and exploiting a race with os.MkdirAll. While this can be used to create empty files, existing files **will not** be truncated. An attacker must have the ability to start containers using some kind of custom volume configuration. Containers using user namespaces are still affected, but the scope of places an attacker can create inodes can be significantly reduced. Sufficiently strict LSM policies (SELinux/Apparmor) can also in principle block this attack -- we suspect the industry standard SELinux policy may restrict this attack's scope but the exact scope of protection hasn't been analysed. This is exploitable using runc directly as well as through Docker and Kubernetes. The CVSS score for this vulnerability is CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N (Low severity, 3....

This paper is a collection of THC's favorite tricks. Many of these tricks are not from them, they merely collect them. They show the tricks as-is without any explanation why they work. You need to know Linux to understand how and why they work. This is an updated copy of their data from 09/03/2024.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6973-4 - It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged local attacker could use this to possibly cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
