Windows Print Spooler Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability. This CVE ID is unique from CVE-2022-22041, CVE-2022-30206, CVE-2022-30226.

July's security update included fixes for one actively exploited flaw, more than 30 bugs in Azure Site Recovery, and four privilege escalation bugs in Windows Print Spooler.

Git for Windows is a fork of Git that contains Windows-specific patches. This vulnerability in versions prior to 2.37.1 lets Git for Windows' installer execute a binary into `C:\mingw64\bin\git.exe` by mistake. This only happens upon a fresh install, not when upgrading Git for Windows. A patch is included in version 2.37.1. Two workarounds are available. Create the `C:\mingw64` folder and remove read/write access from this folder, or disallow arbitrary authenticated users to create folders in `C:\`.

Git is a distributed revision control system. Git prior to versions 2.37.1, 2.36.2, 2.35.4, 2.34.4, 2.33.4, 2.32.3, 2.31.4, and 2.30.5, is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all platforms. An unsuspecting user could still be affected by the issue reported in CVE-2022-24765, for example when navigating as root into a shared tmp directory that is owned by them, but where an attacker could create a git repository. Versions 2.37.1, 2.36.2, 2.35.4, 2.34.4, 2.33.4, 2.32.3, 2.31.4, and 2.30.5 contain a patch for this issue. The simplest way to avoid being affected by the exploit described in the example is to avoid running git as root (or an Administrator in Windows), and if needed to reduce its use to a minimum. While a generic workaround is not possible, a system could be hardened from the exploit described in the example by removing any such repository if it exists already and creating one as root to block any future attacks.

Intel microprocessor generations 6 to 8 are affected by a new Spectre variant that is able to bypass their retpoline mitigation in the kernel to leak arbitrary data. An attacker with unprivileged user access can hijack return instructions to achieve arbitrary speculative code execution under certain microarchitecture-dependent conditions.

Several pieces of Black Hat USA research will explore container design weaknesses and escalation of privilege attacks that can lead to container escapes.

By Jon Munshaw and Tiago Pereira.  Microsoft released its monthly security update Tuesday, disclosing more than 80 vulnerabilities in the company’s various software, hardware and firmware offerings, including one that’s actively being exploited in the wild.  July's security update...

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in SourceCodester Simple Parking Management System 1.0. This affects an unknown part of the file /ci_spms/admin/category. The manipulation of the argument vehicle_type with the input "><script>alert("XSS")</script> leads to cross site scripting. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
