Element OS versions prior to 1.8P1 and 12.2 are susceptible to a vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to perform arbitrary code execution.

Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by improper handling of Chunked Transfer-Encoding chunk size. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. The issue in CVE-2022-1292 did not find other places in the crehash script where it possibly passed the file names of certificates being hashed to a command executed through the shell. Some operating systems distribute this script in a manner where it is automatically executed. On these operating systems, this flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script.

A flaw was found in glibc. An integer overflow in the implementation of the posixmemalign in memalign functions in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.26 and earlier could cause these functions to return a pointer to a heap area that is too small, potentially leading to heap corruption.

Buffer overflow in the decodearr function in ntpq in ntp 4.2.8p6 through 4.2.8p10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging an ntpq query and sending a response with a crafted array.

libxslt through 1.1.33 allows bypass of a protection mechanism because callers of xsltCheckRead and xsltCheckWrite permit access even upon receiving a -1 error code. xsltCheckRead can return -1 for a crafted URL that is not actually invalid and is subsequently loaded.

A vulnerability was found in curl. This issue occurs because when curl saves cookies, alt-svc, and HSTS data to local files, it makes the operation atomic by finalizing the process with a rename from a temporary name to the final target file name. This flaw leads to unpreserved file permissions, either by mistake or by a malicious actor.

Incorrect sanitation of the 302 redirect field in HTTP transport method of apt versions 1.4.8 and earlier can lead to content injection by a MITM attacker, potentially leading to remote code execution on the target machine.

glibc is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory corruption by the Name Service Cache Daemon's (nscd) netgroup cache when the NSS callback fails to store all strings in the provided buffer. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt memory and cause a denial of service.

Logic bug in Intel Converged Security Management Engine 11.x may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code via local privileged access.

In libssh2 v1.9.0 and earlier versions, the SSHMSGDISCONNECT logic in packet.c has an integer overflow in a bounds check, enabling an attacker to specify an arbitrary (out-of-bounds) offset for a subsequent memory read. A crafted SSH server may be able to disclose sensitive information or cause a denial of service condition on the client system when a user connects to the server.

DISPUTED In drivers/char/virtioconsole.c in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4, data corruption or loss can be triggered by an untrusted device that supplies a buf->len value exceeding the buffer size. NOTE: the vendor indicates that the cited data corruption is not a vulnerability in any existing use case; the length validation was added solely for robustness in the face of anomalous host OS behavior.

A flaw was found in the way the mwifiexcmdappendvsietlv() in Linux kernel's Marvell WiFi-Ex driver handled vendor specific information elements. A local user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system.

A security flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel. The vmacacheflushall() function in mm/vmacache.c mishandles sequence number overflows. An attacker can trigger a use-after-free (and possibly gain privileges) via certain thread creation, map, unmap, invalidation, and dereference operations.

An issue was discovered in GNU Binutils 2.32. It is a heap-based buffer overflow in processmipsspecific in readelf.c via a malformed MIPS option section.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (xdrsetpagebase slab-out-of-bounds access) by performing many NFS 4.2 READPLUS operations. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

A flaw was found in Apache Santuario (XML Security for Java) in the way it processed some paths. A remote attacker could use this flaw to circumvent the "secure validation" feature and disclose potentially sensitive information in local XML files.

A vulnerability was discovered in Python. A quadratic algorithm exists when processing inputs to the IDNA (RFC 3490) decoder, such that a crafted unreasonably long name being presented to the decoder could lead to a CPU denial of service. Hostnames are often supplied by remote servers that could be controlled by a malicious actor, which could trigger excessive CPU consumption on the client attempting to make use of an attacker-supplied hostname.

Element Software versions prior to 12.2 and HCI versions prior to 1.8P1 are susceptible to a vulnerability which could allow an attacker to discover sensitive information by intercepting its transmission within an https session.

Element OS prior to version 12.0 and Element HealthTools prior to version 2020.04.01.04 are susceptible to a vulnerability which when successfully exploited could lead to disclosure of sensitive information.

fs/nfsd/trace.h in the Linux kernel before 5.13.4 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read in strlen) by sending NFS traffic when the trace event framework is being used for nfsd.

An issue was discovered in the Linux Kernel from 4.18 to 4.19, an improper update of sock reference in TCP pacing can lead to memory/netns leak, which can be used by remote clients.

A race problem was seen in the vtkioctl in drivers/tty/vt/vtioctl.c in the Linux kernel, which may cause an out of bounds read in vt as the write access to vcmode is not protected by lock-in vtioctl (KDSETMDE). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

A use-after-free read flaw was found in sockgetsockopt() in net/core/sock.c due to SOPEERCRED and SOPEERGROUPS race with listen() (and connect()) in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, an attacker with a user privilege may lead to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information.

In this, if the creds are replaced and freed at the wrong time, a use-after-free read occurs.

An issue was discovered in splithugepmd in mm/hugememory.c in the Linux kernel before 5.7.5. The copy-on-write implementation can grant unintended write access because of a race condition in a THP mapcount check, aka CID-c444eb564fb1.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel on s390 architecture. The issue occurs on multiprocessing systems when one s390 CPU is in Secondary Address Mode and another CPU does a kernel page table upgrade. An inter-processor interrupt (IPI) is then sent to each active CPU to update the control registers with new page table addresses. In Secondary Address Mode the CPU's CR1 register may hold kernel space address to fetch instructions from, but after IPI processing, the same CR1 register is set to point to a user space address. An unprivileged user or process on the system may use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

An issue was discovered in drivers/media/platform/vivid in the Linux kernel through 5.3.8. It is exploitable for privilege escalation on some Linux distributions where local users have /dev/video0 access, but only if the driver happens to be loaded. There are multiple race conditions during streaming stopping in this driver (part of the V4L2 subsystem). These issues are caused by wrong mutex locking in vividstopgeneratingvidcap(), vividstopgeneratingvidout(), sdrcapstopstreaming(), and the corresponding kthreads. At least one of these race conditions leads to a use-after-free.

An issue was discovered in OpenSSH 7.9. Due to missing character encoding in the progress display, a malicious server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can employ crafted object names to manipulate the client output, e.g., by using ANSI control codes to hide additional files being transferred. This affects refreshprogressmeter() in progressmeter.c.

In OpenSSH 7.9, due to accepting and displaying arbitrary stderr output from the server, a malicious server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can manipulate the client output, for example to use ANSI control codes to hide additional files being transferred.
