Ubuntu Security Notice 5580-1 - It was discovered that the framebuffer driver on the Linux kernel did not verify size limits when changing font or screen size, leading to an out-of-bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the virtual terminal driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle VGA console font changes, leading to an out-of-bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

PrinterLogic Windows Client through 25.0.0.676 allows attackers to execute directory traversal. Authenticated users with prior knowledge of the driver filename could exploit this to escalate privileges or distribute malicious content.

Organizations relying on multicloud or hybrid-cloud environments without a true understanding of their security vulnerabilities do so at their peril.

A flaw was found in JSS, where it did not properly free up all memory. Over time, the wasted memory builds up in the server memory, saturating the server’s RAM. This flaw allows an attacker to force the invocation of an out-of-memory process, causing a denial of service.

A arbitrary code execution flaw was found in the Fabric 8 Kubernetes client affecting versions 5.0.0-beta-1 and above. Due to an improperly configured YAML parsing, this will allow a local and privileged attacker to supply malicious YAML.

SolarWinds CISO Tim Brown explains how organizations can prepare for eventualities like the nation-state attack on his company’s software.

Movable Type XMLRPC API provided by Six Apart Ltd. contains a command injection vulnerability.

Note that all versions of Movable Type 4.0 or later including unsupported (End-of-Life, EOL) versions are also affected by this vulnerability.

Jenkins Git Plugin 4.11.4 and earlier does not properly mask (i.e., replace with asterisks) credentials in the build log provided by the Git Username and Password (`gitUsernamePassword`) credentials binding.

Jenkins Job Configuration History Plugin 1165.v8cc9fd1f4597 and earlier does not escape the job name on the System Configuration History page, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to configure job names.

Jenkins CollabNet Plugins Plugin 2.0.8 and earlier stores a RabbitMQ password unencrypted in its global configuration file on the Jenkins controller where it can be viewed by users with access to the Jenkins controller file system.
