The jruby-openssl gem before 0.6 for JRuby mishandles SSL certificate validation.

This Metasploit module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in Splunk Enterprise. The affected versions include 9.0.x before 9.0.7 and 9.1.x before 9.1.2. The exploitation process leverages a weakness in the XSLT transformation functionality of Splunk. Successful exploitation requires valid credentials, typically admin:changeme by default. The exploit involves uploading a malicious XSLT file to the target system. This file, when processed by the vulnerable Splunk server, leads to the execution of arbitrary code. The module then utilizes the runshellscript capability in Splunk to execute the payload, which can be tailored to establish a reverse shell. This provides the attacker with remote control over the compromised Splunk instance. The module is designed to work seamlessly, ensuring successful exploitation under the right conditions.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6548-1 - It was discovered that Spectre-BHB mitigations were missing for Ampere processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive information. It was discovered that the USB subsystem in the Linux kernel contained a race condition while handling device descriptors in certain situations, leading to a out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.

With its war against Russia raging on, Ukraine has begun raising funds to rebuild homes and structures one by one using its own crowdfunding platform.

Tactical and targeting overlaps have been discovered between the enigmatic advanced persistent threat (APT) called Sandman and a China-based threat cluster that's known to use a backdoor known as KEYPLUG. The assessment comes jointly from SentinelOne, PwC, and the Microsoft Threat Intelligence team based on the fact that the adversary's Lua-based malware LuaDream and KEYPLUG have been

An issue was discovered in Zammad before 6.2.0. In several subsystems, SSL/TLS was used to establish connections to external services without proper validation of hostname and certificate authority. This is exploitable by man-in-the-middle attackers.

The Goodix Fingerprint Device, as shipped in Dell Inspiron 15 computers, does not follow the Secure Device Connection Protocol (SDCP) when enrolling via Linux, and accepts an unauthenticated configuration packet to select the Windows template database, which allows bypass of Windows Hello authentication by enrolling an attacker's fingerprint.

In Bitcoin Core through 26.0 and Bitcoin Knots before 25.1.knots20231115, datacarrier size limits can be bypassed by obfuscating data as code (e.g., with OP_FALSE OP_IF), as exploited in the wild by Inscriptions in 2022 and 2023.

libcue provides an API for parsing and extracting data from CUE sheets. Versions 2.2.1 and prior are vulnerable to out-of-bounds array access. A user of the GNOME desktop environment can be exploited by downloading a cue sheet from a malicious webpage. Because the file is saved to ~/Downloads, it is then automatically scanned by tracker-miners. And because it has a .cue filename extension, tracker-miners use libcue to parse the file. The file exploits the vulnerability in libcue to gain code execution. This issue is patched in version 2.3.0. This particular archive holds three proof of concept exploits.

Heap Buffer Overflow vulnerability in GPAC version 2.3-DEV-rev617-g671976fcc-master, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code and cause a denial of service (DoS) via str2ulong class in src/media_tools/avilib.c in gpac/MP4Box.
