#vulnerability

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a new version of a ransomware strain called HardBit that comes packaged with new obfuscation techniques to deter analysis efforts. "Unlike previous versions, HardBit Ransomware group enhanced the version 4.0 with passphrase protection," Cybereason researchers Kotaro Ogino and Koshi Oyama said in an analysis. "The passphrase needs to be provided during

A vulnerability in the `package_index` module of pypa/setuptools versions up to 69.1.1 allows for remote code execution via its download functions. These functions, which are used to download packages from URLs provided by users or retrieved from package index servers, are susceptible to code injection. If these functions are exposed to user-controlled inputs, such as package URLs, they can execute arbitrary commands on the system. The issue is fixed in version 70.0.

A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability was identified in widgetti/solara, in version <1.35.1, which was fixed in version 1.35.1. This vulnerability arises from the application's failure to properly validate URI fragments for directory traversal sequences such as '../' when serving static files. An attacker can exploit this flaw by manipulating the fragment part of the URI to read arbitrary files on the local file system. ### References - https://github.com/widgetti/solara/security/advisories/GHSA-9794-pc4r-438w - https://github.com/widgetti/solara/commit/df2fd66a7f4e8ffd36e8678697a8a4f76760dc54 - https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2024-39903

The default configuration of XSLTResourceStream.java is vulnerable to remote code execution via XSLT injection when processing input from an untrusted source without validation. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 10.1.0, 9.18.0 or 8.16.0, which fix this issue.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6896-1 - It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the Atheros 802.11ac wireless driver did not properly validate certain data structures, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5729-1 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Apache HTTP server, which may result in authentication bypass, execution of scripts in directories not directly reachable by any URL, server-side request forgery or denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6895-1 - It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the HugeTLB file system component of the Linux Kernel contained a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6864-3 - It was discovered that the Intel Data Streaming and Intel Analytics Accelerator drivers in the Linux kernel allowed direct access to the devices for unprivileged users and virtual machines. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. A security issue was discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use it to compromise the system.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6885-2 - USN-6885-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP Server. One of the security fixes introduced a regression when proxying requests to a HTTP/2 server. This update fixes the problem. Marc Stern discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled serving WebSocket protocol upgrades over HTTP/2 connections. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the server to crash, resulting in a denial of service. Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server mod_proxy module incorrectly sent certain request URLs with incorrect encodings to backends. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass authentication. Orange Tsai discovered that the Apache HTTP Server mod_rewrite module incorrectly handled certain substitutions. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute scripts in directories not directly reachable by any URL, or cause a denial of service. Some environments may require using the new UnsafeAllow3F flag to h...
