From cryptocurrency thefts to intrusions into telecom giants, state-backed attackers have had a field day in the year’s first half.

The OpenSSL 3.0.4 release introduced a serious bug in the RSA implementation for X86_64 CPUs supporting the AVX512IFMA instructions. This issue makes the RSA implementation with 2048 bit private keys incorrect on such machines and memory corruption will happen during the computation. As a consequence of the memory corruption an attacker may be able to trigger a remote code execution on the machine performing the computation. SSL/TLS servers or other servers using 2048 bit RSA private keys running on machines supporting AVX512IFMA instructions of the X86_64 architecture are affected by this issue.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2022-5245-01 - The curl packages provide the libcurl library and the curl utility for downloading files from servers using various protocols, including HTTP, FTP, and LDAP. Issues addressed include bypass and password leak vulnerabilities.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2022-5480-01 - Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client. This update upgrades Thunderbird to version 91.11. Issues addressed include bypass, integer overflow, and use-after-free vulnerabilities.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5499-1 - Florian Kohnhuser discovered that curl incorrectly handled returning a TLS server’s certificate chain details. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause curl to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. Harry Sintonen discovered that curl incorrectly handled certain FTP-KRB messages. An attacker could possibly use this to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack.

Putting sensor-packed Chinese cars on Western roads could be a privacy issue. Just ask Tesla.
