Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a trio of side-channel attacks that could be exploited to leak sensitive data from modern CPUs. Called Collide+Power (CVE-2023-20583), Downfall (CVE-2022-40982), and Inception (CVE-2023-20569), the novel methods follow the disclosure of another newly discovered security vulnerability affecting AMD's Zen 2 architecture-based processors known as

# Microsoft Security Advisory CVE-2023-35390: .NET Remote Code Execution Vulnerability ## <a name="executive-summary"></a>Executive summary Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to provide information about a vulnerability in .NET 7.0 and .NET 6.0. This advisory also provides guidance on what developers can do to update their applications to remove this vulnerability. A vulnerability exists when some dotnet commands are used in directories with weaker permissions which can result in remote code execution. ## Announcement Announcement for this issue can be found at https://github.com/dotnet/announcements/issues/266 ### <a name="mitigation-factors"></a>Mitigation factors Microsoft has not identified any mitigating factors for this vulnerability. ## <a name="affected-software"></a>Affected software * Any .NET 7.0.1xx SDK 7.0.109 or earlier. * Any .NET 7.0.3xx SDK 7.0.306 or earlier. * Any .NET 6.0.1xx SDK 6.0.120 or earlier. * Any .NET 6.0.3xx SDK 6.0.315 or earlier. * A...

gRPC contains a vulnerability that allows hpack table accounting errors could lead to unwanted disconnects between clients and servers in exceptional cases/ Three vectors were found that allow the following DOS attacks: - Unbounded memory buffering in the HPACK parser - Unbounded CPU consumption in the HPACK parser The unbounded CPU consumption is down to a copy that occurred per-input-block in the parser, and because that could be unbounded due to the memory copy bug we end up with an O(n^2) parsing loop, with n selected by the client. The unbounded memory buffering bugs: - The header size limit check was behind the string reading code, so we needed to first buffer up to a 4 gigabyte string before rejecting it as longer than 8 or 16kb. - HPACK varints have an encoding quirk whereby an infinite number of 0’s can be added at the start of an integer. gRPC’s hpack parser needed to read all of them before concluding a parse. - gRPC’s metadata overflow check was performed per frame, so ...
