A path traversal vulnerability was discovered in Pilz PASvisu Server before 1.12.0. An unauthenticated remote attacker could use a zipped, malicious configuration file to trigger arbitrary file writes ('zip-slip').

A path traversal vulnerability was discovered in multiple Pilz products. An unauthenticated local attacker could use a zipped, malicious configuration file to trigger arbitrary file writes ('zip-slip').

Yet another *4Shell exploit highlights the horror of strange visitors into enterprise environments. This Tech Tip focuses on what to do next.

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. Users without the right to view documents can deduce their existence by repeated Livetable queries. The issue has been patched in XWiki 14.6RC1, 13.10.8, and 14.4.3, the response is not properly cleaned up of obfuscated entries. As a workaround, The patch for the document `XWiki.LiveTableResultsMacros` can be manually applied or a XAR archive of a patched version can be imported, on versions 12.10.11, 13.9-rc-1, and 13.4.4. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5737-1 - It was discovered that APR-util did not properly handle memory when using SDBM database files. A local attacker with write access to the database can make a program or process using these functions crash, and cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5735-1 - It was discovered that Sysstat did not properly check bounds when performing certain arithmetic operations on 32 bit systems. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash or arbitrary code execution.

A vulnerability was found in keylime. This security issue happens in some circumstances, due to some improperly handled exceptions, there exists the possibility that a rogue agent could create errors on the verifier that stopped attestation attempts for that host leaving it in an attested state but not verifying that anymore.

As SASE adoption grows, with its allure of simplified protection via one network and security experience for hybrid workers, remember: Have an overall plan, integrate and migrate to scale usage, and start small.

Synapse before 1.52.0 with URL preview functionality enabled will attempt to generate URL previews for media stream URLs without properly limiting connection time. Connections will only be terminated after `max_spider_size` (default: 10M) bytes have been downloaded, which can in some cases lead to long-lived connections towards the streaming media server (for instance, Icecast). This can cause excessive traffic and connections toward such servers if their stream URL is, for example, posted to a large room with many Synapse instances with URL preview enabled. Version 1.52.0 implements a timeout mechanism which will terminate URL preview connections after 30 seconds. Since generating URL previews for media streams is not supported and always fails, 1.53.0 additionally implements an allow list for content types for which Synapse will even attempt to generate a URL preview. Upgrade to 1.53.0 to fully resolve the issue. As a workaround, turn off URL preview functionality by setting `url_pre...

Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel allows Privilege Escalation. An improper Update of Reference Count in io_uring leads to Use-After-Free and Local Privilege Escalation. When io_msg_ring was invoked with a fixed file, it called io_fput_file() which improperly decreased its reference count (leading to Use-After-Free and Local Privilege Escalation). Fixed files are permanently registered to the ring, and should not be put separately.
