An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when an attacker establishes a vulnerable Netlogon secure channel connection to a domain controller, using the Netlogon Remote Protocol (MS-NRPC), aka 'Netlogon Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'.
An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 2019.2.4 and 3000 before 3000.2. The salt-master process ClearFuncs class does not properly validate method calls. This allows a remote user to access some methods without authentication. These methods can be used to retrieve user tokens from the salt master and/or run arbitrary commands on salt minions.

apachemodphp. Multiple issues were addressed by updating to PHP version 7.3.11.
A flaw was found in Exim versions 4.87 to 4.91 (inclusive). Improper validation of recipient address in delivermessage() function in /src/deliver.c may lead to remote command execution.

A vulnerability was found in cgroupreleaseagentwrite in kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, under certain circumstances, the cgroups v1 releaseagent feature can be used to escalate privilege and bypass namespace isolation unexpectedly.

Apache HTTP Server, with MPM event, worker or prefork, code executing in less-privileged child processes or threads (including scripts executed by an in-process scripting interpreter) could execute code with the privileges of the parent process (usually root) by manipulating the scoreboard.
A use-after-free flaw was found in nftables cross-table in the net/netfilter/nftablesapi.c function in the Linux kernel. This flaw allows a local, privileged attacker to cause a use-after-free problem at the time of table deletion, possibly leading to local privilege escalation.
A Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability (from any user to root) was found in polkit's pkexec, a SUID-root program that is installed by default on every major Linux distribution.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, where unauthorized access to the execution of the setuid file with capabilities was found in the Linux kernel’s OverlayFS subsystem in how a user copies a capable file from a nosuid mount into another mount. This uid mapping bug allows a local user to escalate their privileges on the system.
A flaw in the kernels implementation of ptrace which could inadvertantly grant elevated permissions to an attacker who could abuse the relationship between tracer and the process being traced.
The mechanism used to link the process requesting the ptrace and the process being ptraced could allow a local user to obtain root level priviledges by creating an opportunity to abuse the frequently used pattern of dropping privileges and then execve a child with reduced privileges/permissions.

An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 2019.2.4 and 3000 before 3000.2. The salt-master process ClearFuncs class allows access to some methods that improperly sanitize paths. These methods allow arbitrary directory access to authenticated users.
