GHSA-hj3v-m684-v259: JWX vulnerable to a denial of service attack using compressed JWE message

### Summary This vulnerability allows an attacker with a trusted public key to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition by crafting a malicious JSON Web Encryption (JWE) token with an exceptionally high compression ratio. When this token is processed by the recipient, it results in significant memory allocation and processing time during decompression. ### Details **The attacker needs to obtain a valid public key to compress the payload**. It needs to be valid so that the recipient can use to successfully decompress the payload. Furthermore in context JWT processing in the v2 versions, the recipient must explicitly allow JWE handling . The attacker then crafts a message with high compression ratio, e.g. a payload with very high frequency of repeating patterns that can decompress to a much larger size. If the payload is large enough, recipient who is decompressing the data will have to allocate a large amount of memory, which then can lead to a denial of service. The original repo...

Patch now! VMWare escape flaws are so serious even end-of-life software gets a fix

The flaws could allow an attacker with privileged access to a guest VM to access the hypervisor on the host.

Confidential Containers for Financial Services on Public Cloud

Public clouds provide geo resilience in addition to being cost-effective when compared to on-premise deployments. Regulated industries such as the Financial Services Industry (FSI) traditionally have been unable to take advantage of public clouds since FSI is highly regulated from a security and resiliency standpoint.Confidential computing (CC) and specifically confidential containers (CoCo) in the cloud provide data protection and integrity capabilities, facilitating the migration of financial workloads to the cloud.In this blog we will look at the Financial Services Industry and how it can d
