GHSA-4fwj-m62q-pp47: Password Pusher Allows Session Token Interception Leading to Potential Hijacking

### Impact A vulnerability has been reported in Password Pusher where an attacker can copy the session cookie before a user logs out, potentially allowing session hijacking. Although the session token is replaced and invalidated upon logout, if an attacker manages to capture the session cookie before this process, they can use the token to gain unauthorized access to the user's session until the token expires or is manually cleared. This vulnerability hinges on the attacker's ability to access the session cookie during an active session, either through a man-in-the-middle attack, by exploiting another vulnerability like XSS, or via direct access to the victim's device. ### Patches Although there is no direct resolution to this vulnerability, it is recommended to always use the latest version of Password Pusher to best mitigate risk. ### Workarounds If self-hosting, ensure Password Pusher is hosted exclusively over SSL connections to encrypt traffic and prevent session cookies fr...

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7117-2

Ubuntu Security Notice 7117-2 - USN-7117-1 fixed vulnerabilities in needrestart. The update introduced a regression in needrestart. This update fixes the problem. Qualys discovered that needrestart passed unsanitized data to a library which expects safe input. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root.

CUPS IPP Attributes LAN Remote Code Execution

This Metasploit module exploits vulnerabilities in OpenPrinting CUPS, which is running by default on most Linux distributions. The vulnerabilities allow an attacker on the LAN to advertise a malicious printer that triggers remote code execution when a victim sends a print job to the malicious printer. Successful exploitation requires user interaction, but no CUPS services need to be reachable via accessible ports. Code execution occurs in the context of the lp user. Affected versions are cups-browsed less than or equal to 2.0.1, libcupsfilters versions 2.1b1 and below, libppd versions 2.1b1 and below, and cups-filters versions 2.0.1 and below.
