Documents appear to show that Israeli spyware company Intellexa sold a full suite of services around a zero-day affecting both Android and iOS ecosystems.

A heap-based buffer overflow was found in the Linux kernel's LightNVM subsystem. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel. The attacker must first obtain the ability to execute high-privileged code on the target system to exploit this vulnerability.

Multiple out-of-bounds write issues were addressed with improved bounds checking. This issue is fixed in macOS Monterey 12.5, watchOS 8.7, tvOS 15.6, iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6. An app may be able to disclose kernel memory.

Xpdf prior to version 4.04 contains an integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoder (JBIG2Stream::readSymbolDictSeg() in JBIG2Stream.cc). Processing a specially crafted PDF file or JBIG2 image could lead to a crash or the execution of arbitrary code. This is similar to the vulnerability described by CVE-2021-30860 (Apple CoreGraphics).
