Impact Passing HTML from untrusted sources - even after sanitizing it - 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 the issue without upgrading, adding the following to your code:

js jQuery.htmlPrefilter = function( html ) { return html; };

You need to use at least jQuery 1.12/2.2 or newer to be able to apply this workaround.

For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, search for a relevant issue in the jQuery repo. If you don't find an answer, open a new issue.

Impact Accepting the value of the of option of the .position() util from untrusted sources may execute untrusted code. For example, invoking the following code: js $( "#element" ).position( { my: "left top", at: "right bottom", of: "<img onerror='doEvilThing()' src='/404' />", collision: "none" } ); will call the doEvilThing() function.

Patches The issue is fixed in jQuery UI 1.13.0. Any string value passed to the of option is now treated as a CSS selector.

Workarounds A workaround is to not accept the value of the of option from untrusted sources.

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. The crehash script does not properly sanitize shell meta-characters to prevent command injection. Some operating systems distribute this script in a manner where it is automatically executed. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script on these operating systems.

A flaw use-after-free in function scosocksendmsg() of the Linux kernel HCI subsystem was found in the way user calls ioct UFFDIOREGISTER or other way triggers race condition of the call scoconndel() together with the call scosocksendmsg() with the expected controllable faulting memory page. A privileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.

A use-after-free exists in drivers/tee/teeshm.c in the TEE subsystem in the Linux kernel through 5.15.11. This occurs because of a race condition in teeshmgetfromid during an attempt to free a shared memory object.

A remote stack overflow in the TIPC networking module. With FORTIFYSOURCE's stricter memcpy() bounds checking, this can be exploited to cause remote DOS via kernel panic on systems using TIPC. Prior to these bounds checks, and with a canary leak (or no CONFIGSTACKPROTECTOR), this can be exploited for RCE.

A flaw was found in unrestricted eBPF usage by the BPFBTFLOAD, leading to a possible out-of-bounds memory write in the Linux kernel’s BPF subsystem due to the way a user loads BTF. This flaw allows a local user to crash or escalate their privileges on the system.

Last updated 25 April 2025

A flaw in the Linux Kernel found. If unprivileged users can mount FUSE filesystems, then can trigger use after free (UAF) that reads of write() buffers, allowing theft of (partial) /etc/shadow hashes or any other data from filesystem.

FUSE allows the userspace filesystem to specify on FUSEOPEN whether the file should use the normal kernel pagecache for handling read()/write() or just send FUSEREAD/FUSEWRITE requests directly to the userspace filesystem (using the flag FOPENDIRECTIO in fuseopenout::openflags).

In FOPENDIRECTIO mode, fusefilewriteiter() calls fusedirectwriteiter(), which normally calls fusedirectio(), which then imports the write buffer with fusegetuserpages(), which uses iovitergetpages() to grab references to userspace pages instead of actually copying memory.

On the filesystem device side, these pages can then either be read to userspace (via fusedevread()), or splice()d over into a pipe using fusedevspliceread() as pipe buffers with &nostealpipebufops.

This is wrong because after fusedevdoread() unlocks the FUSE request, the userspace filesystem can mark the request as completed, causing write() to return. At that point, the write buffer may be reused for other purposes, and the userspace filesystem should no longer have access to it.

In kernel/bpf/verifier.c , there is a possible way to manipulate pointer arithmetic due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

In the Linux kernel through 5.15.2, hwatlutilsfwrpcwait in drivers/net/ethernet/aquantia/atlantic/hwatl/hwatlutils.c allows an attacker (who can introduce a crafted device) to trigger an out-of-bounds write via a crafted length value.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.16.12. drivers/net/usb/sr9700.c allows attackers to obtain sensitive information from heap memory via crafted frame lengths from a device.

An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory read flaw was found in the Qualcomm IPC router protocol in the Linux kernel. A missing sanity check allows a local attacker to gain access to out-of-bounds memory, leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

A read-after-free memory flaw was found in the Linux kernel's garbage collection for Unix domain socket file handlers in the way users call close() and fget() simultaneously and can potentially trigger a race condition. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.

An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in preallocelemsandfreelist in kernel/bpf/stackmap.c in the bpf iin the Linux kernel. In this flaw, the multiplication to calculate the size could lead to an integer overflow, and this could allow a local attacker, with a special user privilege to gain access to out-of-bounds memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel information.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernels eBPF implementation. By default, accessing the eBPF verifier is only accessible to privileged users with CAPSYSADMIN. A local user with the ability to insert eBPF instructions can abuse a flaw in eBPF to corrupt memory. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.

A flaw was found in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in BPF in the Linux kernel. An incorrect limit is enforced for pointer arithmetic operations which can be abused to perform out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel memory, leading to local privilege escalation. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

An out-of-bounds access flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s implementation of the eBPF code verifier, where an incorrect register bounds calculation while checking unsigned 32-bit instructions in an eBPF program occurs.. By default accessing the eBPF verifier is only accessible to privileged users with CAPSYSADMIN. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied eBPF programs prior to executing them. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges on the system.

A use-after-free exists in the Linux Kernel in tcnewtfilter that could allow a local attacker to gain privilege escalation. The exploit requires unprivileged user namespaces. We recommend upgrading past commit 04c2a47ffb13c29778e2a14e414ad4cb5a5db4b5

A flaw was discovered in the cryptographic receive code in the Linux kernel's implementation of transparent interprocess communication. An attacker, with the ability to send TIPC messages to the target, can corrupt memory and escalate privileges on the target system.

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the legacyparseparam function in the Filesystem Context functionality of the Linux kernel verified the supplied parameters length. An unprivileged (in case of unprivileged user namespaces enabled, otherwise needs namespaced CAPSYSADMIN privilege) local user able to open a filesystem that does not support the Filesystem Context API (and thus fallbacks to legacy handling) could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system.

.A flaw was found in the CAN BCM networking protocol in the Linux kernel, where a local attacker can abuse a flaw in the CAN subsystem to corrupt memory, crash the system or escalate privileges. This race condition in net/can/bcm.c in the Linux kernel allows for local privilege escalation to root.

The BPF subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.17 mishandles situations with a long jump over an instruction sequence where inner instructions require substantial expansions into multiple BPF instructions, leading to an overflow. This affects kernel/bpf/core.c and net/core/filter.c.

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel, where a type confusion problem in checkmapfunccompatibility() may lead to free arbitrary kernel memory.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.19. The XFRM subsystem has a use-after-free, related to an xfrmstatefini panic, aka CID-dbb2483b2a46.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.14.16. There is a use-after-free in net/sctp/socket.c for a held lock after a peel off, aka CID-a0ff660058b8.

A flaw was found in Linux Kernel because access to the global variable fgconsole is not properly synchronized leading to a use after free in confontop.

An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s watchqueue event notification subsystem. This flaw can overwrite parts of the kernel state, potentially allowing a local user to gain privileged access or cause a denial of service on the system.
