A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's networking subsystem handled the write queue between TCP disconnection and re-connections. A local attacker could use this flaw to trigger multiple use-after-free conditions potentially escalating their privileges on the system.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nftables: mark set as dead when unbinding anonymous set with timeout
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-26643 to this issue.
Upstream advisory: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/2024032150-CVE-2024-26643-4f9d@gregkh/T
A use-after-free in the mac80211 stack when parsing a multi-BSSID element in the Linux kernel 5.2 through 5.19.x before 5.19.16 could be used by attackers (able to inject WLAN frames) to crash the kernel and potentially execute code.
A use-after-free flaw was found in bssrefget in the net/wireless/scan.c in the Linux kernel. This issue can lead to a denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: armscmi: Harden accesses to the reset domains
Accessing reset domains descriptors by the index upon the SCMI drivers requests through the SCMI reset operations interface can potentially lead to out-of-bound violations if the SCMI driver misbehave.
Add an internal consistency check before any such domains descriptors accesses.

From https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2021/08/30/1:
Security vulnerabilities were identified in the open source NTFS-3G and NTFSPROGS software. These vulnerabilities were confirmed and resolved. To our knowledge, these vulnerabilities have not been exploited.
These vulnerabilities may allow an attacker using a maliciously crafted NTFS-formatted image file or external storage to potentially execute arbitrary privileged code, if the attacker has either local access and the ntfs-3g binary is setuid root, or if the attacker has physical access to an external port to a computer which is configured to run the ntfs-3g binary or one of the ntfsprogs tools when the external storage is plugged into the computer. These vulnerabilities result from incorrect validation of some of the NTFS metadata that could potentially cause buffer overflows, which could be exploited by an attacker. Common ways for attackers to gain physical access to a machine is through social engineering or an evil maid attack on an unattended computer.
We recommend installing and applying the update with the security fixes, and advise to follow security guidance and frameworks such as NIST for assessing and improving an organization’s abilities to prevent, detect, and respond to security threats and cyber attacks.
AFFECTED PRODUCTS: All previous versions of open source NTFS-3G and NTFSPROGS.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT: Jeremy Galindo, Akshay Ajayan, Kyle Zeng and Fish Wang for reporting these vulnerabilities.
A crafted NTFS image can cause a heap-based buffer overflow in ntfsnamesfullcollate in NTFS-3G through 2021.8.22.
A crafted NTFS image can cause a heap-based buffer overflow in ntfsmftrecalloc in NTFS-3G through 2021.8.22.
A crafted NTFS image can cause a heap-based buffer overflow in ntfschecklogclientarray in NTFS-3G through 2021.8.22.
A crafted NTFS image can cause heap exhaustion in ntfsgetattributevalue in NTFS-3G through 2021.8.22.
A vulnerability found in gnutls. This security flaw happens because of a double free error occurs during verification of pkcs7 signatures in gnutlspkcs7verify function.
A Denial of Service vulnerability exists in mbed TLS 3.0.0 and earlier in the mbedtlspkcs12derivation function when an input password's length is 0.
A heap-based buffer over write vulnerability was found in GhostScript's lp8000printpage() function in gdevlp8k.c file. An attacker could trick a user to open a crafted PDF file, triggering the heap buffer overflow that could lead to memory corruption or a denial of service.

A flaw was found in dnsmasq before version 2.83. A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in dnsmasq when DNSSEC is enabled and before it validates the received DNS entries. This flaw allows a remote attacker, who can create valid DNS replies, to cause an overflow in a heap-allocated memory. This flaw is caused by the lack of length checks in rfc1035.c:extractname(), which could be abused to make the code execute memcpy() with a negative size in sortrrset() and cause a crash in dnsmasq, resulting in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

A flaw was found in dnsmasq before version 2.83. A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the way RRSets are sorted before validating with DNSSEC data. An attacker on the network, who can forge DNS replies such as that they are accepted as valid, could use this flaw to cause a buffer overflow with arbitrary data in a heap memory segment, possibly executing code on the machine. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
A buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the way dnsmasq extract names from DNS packets before validating them with DNSSEC data. An attacker, who can create valid DNS replies, could use this flaw to cause an overflow with arbitrary data in a heap-allocated memory, possibly executing code on the machine. The flaw is in rfc1035.c:extractname() function, which writes data to the memory pointed by name assuming MAXDNAME2 bytes are available in the buffer. However, in some code execution paths it is possible extractname() gets passed an offset from the base buffer, thus reducing in practice the number of available bytes that can be written in the buffer.

Apache Xerces-C could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an use-after-free error during the scanning of external DTDs. By sending a specially crafted file, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition on the system.
A flaw was found in the rubygem URI. The URI parser mishandles invalid URLs that have specific characters, which causes an increase in execution time parsing strings to URI objects. This may result in a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS).
Accounts. A permissions issue was addressed with additional restrictions.
A flaw was found in Sinatra when serving static files from the public directory. The requested path is not validated if it is in the public directory, allowing files outside of the public directory to be served.
A buffer overrun vulnerability was found in Ruby. The issue occurs in a conversion algorithm from a String to a Float that causes process termination due to a segmentation fault, but under limited circumstances. This flaw may cause an illegal memory read.
