It's a classic attacker move: Use security protections against those who deploy them. But organizations can still defuse and prevent these encrypted attacks.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5349-1 - Hubert Kario discovered a timing side channel in the RSA decryption implementation of the GNU TLS library.

A timing side-channel in the handling of RSA ClientKeyExchange messages was discovered in GnuTLS. This side-channel can be sufficient to recover the key encrypted in the RSA ciphertext across a network in a Bleichenbacher style attack. To achieve a successful decryption the attacker would need to send a large amount of specially crafted messages to the vulnerable server. By recovering the secret from the ClientKeyExchange message, the attacker would be able to decrypt the application data exchanged over that connection.

HAProxy before 2.7.3 may allow a bypass of access control because HTTP/1 headers are inadvertently lost in some situations, aka "request smuggling." The HTTP header parsers in HAProxy may accept empty header field names, which could be used to truncate the list of HTTP headers and thus make some headers disappear after being parsed and processed for HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1. For HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, the impact is limited because the headers disappear before being parsed and processed, as if they had not been sent by the client. The fixed versions are 2.7.3, 2.6.9, 2.5.12, 2.4.22, 2.2.29, and 2.0.31.

GSS-NTLMSSP is a mechglue plugin for the GSSAPI library that implements NTLM authentication. Prior to version 1.2.0, an incorrect free when decoding target information can trigger a denial of service. The error condition incorrectly assumes the `cb` and `sh` buffers contain a copy of the data that needs to be freed. However, that is not the case. This vulnerability can be triggered via the main `gss_accept_sec_context` entry point. This will likely trigger an assertion failure in `free`, causing a denial-of-service. This issue is fixed in version 1.2.0.

This Metasploit module exploits two vulnerabilities, a session ID directory traversal authentication bypass (CVE-2022-20705) and a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2022-20707), on Cisco RV160, RV260, RV340, and RV345 Small Business Routers, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands with www-data user privileges. This access can then be used to pivot to other parts of the network. This module works on firmware versions 1.0.03.24 and below.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2023-0742-01 - Red Hat Update Infrastructure offers a highly scalable, highly redundant framework that enables you to manage repositories and content. It also enables cloud providers to deliver content and updates to Red Hat Enterprise Linux instances. Issues addressed include a bypass vulnerability.

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in System Diagnostics Manager of B&R Automation Runtime versions >=3.00 and <=C4.93 that enables a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the users browser session.
