Impact Passing HTML containing <option> elements from untrusted sources - even after sanitizing them - to one of jQuery's DOM manipulation methods (i.e. .html(), .append(), and others) may execute untrusted code.

Patches This problem is patched in jQuery 3.5.0.

Workarounds To workaround this issue without upgrading, use DOMPurify with its SAFEFORJQUERY option to sanitize the HTML string before passing it to a jQuery method.

A heap-based buffer overflow was found in the way sudo parses command line arguments.

As per the researcher this vulnerability:

- is exploitable by any local user (normal users and system users, sudoers and non-sudoers), without authentication (i.e., the attacker does not need to know the user's password);

- was introduced in July 2011 (commit 8255ed69), and affects all legacy versions from 1.8.2 to 1.8.31p2 and all stable versions from 1.9.0 to 1.9.5p1, in their default configuration.

This could lead to privilege escalation.

A flaw was found in the ArchiveTar package. ArchiveTar could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system caused by inadequate checking of symbolic links. An attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the Tar.php script containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to modify arbitrary files on the system.

An XSS issue was discovered in Roundcube Webmail before 1.2.13, 1.3.x before 1.3.16, and 1.4.x before 1.4.10. The attacker can send a plain text e-mail message, with JavaScript in a link reference element that is mishandled by linkrefaddindex in rcubestringreplacer.php.

A flaw was found in the ArchiveTar package. PEAR ArchiveTar could allow a local authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions caused by a stream-wrapper attack. An attacker can overwrite arbitrary files on the system using a specially-crafted tar archive.

Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a file read/inclusion vulnerability in the AJP connector. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read web application files from a vulnerable server and upload malicious JavaServer Pages (JSP) code within a variety of file types and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Note: This vulnerability is known as Ghostcat.

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'.
