Ubuntu Security Notice 7112-1 - It was discovered that the GD Graphics Library did not perform proper bounds checking while handling BMP and WebP files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 7110-1 - Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in usememos/memos version 0.9.1. This vulnerability allows an attacker to upload a JavaScript file containing a malicious script and reference it in an HTML file. When the HTML file is accessed, the malicious script is executed. This can lead to the theft of sensitive information, such as login credentials, from users visiting the affected website. The issue has been fixed in version 0.10.0.

A Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in janeczku/calibre-web, specifically in the file `edit_books.js`. The vulnerability occurs when editing book properties, such as uploading a cover or a format. The affected code directly inserts user input into the DOM without proper sanitization, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code. This can lead to various attacks, including stealing cookies. The issue is present in the code handling the `#btn-upload-cover` change event.

A vulnerability in janeczku/calibre-web allows unauthorized users to view the names of private shelves belonging to other users. This issue occurs in the file shelf.py at line 221, where the name of the shelf is exposed in an error message when a user attempts to remove a book from a shelf they do not own. This vulnerability discloses private information and affects all versions prior to the fix.

An improper access control vulnerability exists in janeczku/calibre-web. The affected version allows users without public shelf permissions to create public shelves. The vulnerability is due to the `create_shelf` method in `shelf.py` not verifying if the user has the necessary permissions to create a public shelf. This issue can lead to unauthorized actions being performed by users.

Apache Airflow versions before 2.10.3 contain a vulnerability that could expose sensitive configuration variables in task logs. This vulnerability allows DAG authors to unintentionally or intentionally log sensitive configuration variables. Unauthorized users could access these logs, potentially exposing critical data that could be exploited to compromise the security of the Airflow deployment. In version 2.10.3, secrets are now masked in task logs to prevent sensitive configuration variables from being exposed in the logging output. Users should upgrade to Airflow 2.10.3 or the latest version to eliminate this vulnerability. If you suspect that DAG authors could have logged the secret values to the logs and that your logs are not additionally protected, it is also recommended that you update those secrets.

In December 2023, KrebsOnSecurity revealed the real-life identity of Rescator, the nickname used by a Russian cybercriminal who sold more than 100 million payment cards stolen from Target and Home Depot between 2013 and 2014. Moscow resident Mikhail Shefel, who confirmed using the Rescator identity in a recent interview, also admitted reaching out because he is broke and seeking publicity for several new money making schemes.

Security is important in enterprise scenarios, where core business applications need to run seamlessly but are often connected to the external world where they are vulnerable to attack.Malware, unauthorized access to files and execution of unverified code are just some examples of how system security can be compromised, not only by exploiting known bugs and vulnerabilities, but also by the lack of appropriate countermeasures.Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) can help, as it provides some tools and services that can natively support the process of system hardening to help make your system more se
