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.
A flaw use-after-free in the Linux kernel USB High Speed Mobile Devices functionality was found in the way user detaches USB device. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or escalate their privileges on the system.
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.
A flaw linked list corruption in the Linux kernel for USB Video Class driver functionality was found in the way user connects web camera to the USB port. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system.
An information disclosure flaw exists in the ARM SIGPAGE functionality of the Linux kernel. An attacker with a local account can read the contents of the sigpage, which contains previously initialized kernel memory contents. This flaw requires an attacker to read a process’s memory at a specific offset to trigger this vulnerability.
A flaw in the processing of received ICMP errors (ICMP fragment needed and ICMP redirect) in the Linux kernel functionality was found to allow the ability to quickly scan open UDP ports. This flaw allows an off-path remote user to effectively bypass the source port UDP randomization. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and possibly integrity, because software that relies on UDP source port randomization are indirectly affected as well.
A vulnerability was found in kernel, where a use-after-frees in nouveau's postclose() handler could happen if removing device (that is not common to remove video card physically without power-off, but same happens if "unbind" the driver).
A flaw in netfilter could allow a network-connected attacker to infer openvpn connection endpoint information for further use in traditional network attacks.
A flaw was found in hw. The Branch History Injection (BHI) describes a specific form of intra-mode BTI. This flaw allows an unprivileged attacker to manipulate the branch history before transitioning to supervisor or VMX root mode. This issue is an effort to cause an indirect branch predictor to select a specific predictor entry for an indirect branch, and a disclosure gadget at the predicted target will transiently execute. This execution is possible since the relevant branch history may contain branches taken in previous security contexts, and in particular, in other predictor modes.
A denial of service flaw was found in mwifiexusbrecv in drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/usb.c in the usb subsystem of the Linux kernel. This is due to a missing clean-up for a malfunctioning usb device with an unknown recvtype.
An information leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s IPv6 implementation in the ipv6selectident in net/ipv6/outputcore.c function. The use of a small hash table in IP ID generation allows a remote attacker to reveal sensitive information.
An improper validation of an array index and out of bounds memory read in the Linux kernel's Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) functionality was found in the way users call ioctl CMTPCONNADD. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or starve the resources causing denial of service.
An information leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s IPv4 implementation in the iprtinit in net/ipv4/route.c function. The use of a small hash table in IP ID generation allows a remote attacker to reveal sensitive information.
A flaw was found in the Linux SCTP stack. A blind attacker may be able to kill an existing SCTP association through invalid chunks if the attacker knows the IP-addresses and port numbers being used and the attacker can send packets with spoofed IP addresses.
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel FireDTV media card driver, where the user calls the CASENDMSG ioctl. This flaw allows a local user of the host machine to crash the system or escalate privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.
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 out-of-bounds memory write flaw was found in the Linux kernel's joystick devices subsystem in versions before 5.9-rc1, in the way the user calls ioctl JSIOCSBTNMAP. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data stored in the L1 cache before it has been completely validated. The attack has limited access to memory and is only able to access memory normally permissible to the execution context. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.
In Spring Framework, versions 5.2.x prior to 5.2.15 and versions 5.3.x prior to 5.3.7, a WebFlux application is vulnerable to a privilege escalation: by (re)creating the temporary storage directory, a locally authenticated malicious user can read or modify files that have been uploaded to the WebFlux application, or overwrite arbitrary files with multipart request data.
Impact The Snappy frame decoder function doesn't restrict the chunk length which may lead to excessive memory usage. Beside this it also may buffer reserved skippable chunks until the whole chunk was received which may lead to excessive memory usage as well.
This vulnerability can be triggered by supplying malicious input that decompresses to a very big size (via a network stream or a file) or by sending a huge skippable chunk.
Impact
All users of SnappyFrameDecoder are affected and so the application may be in risk for a DoS attach due excessive memory usage.

Impact The Bzip2 decompression decoder function doesn't allow setting size restrictions on the decompressed output data (which affects the allocation size used during decompression).
All users of Bzip2Decoder are affected. The malicious input can trigger an OOME and so a DoS attack
Workarounds No workarounds other than not using the Bzip2Decoder

A flaw was found in python-ipaddress. Improper input validation of octal strings in stdlib ipaddress allows unauthenticated remote attackers to perform indeterminate SSRF, RFI, and LFI attacks on many programs that rely on Python stdlib ipaddress. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity and system availability.
A flaw was found in libxml2. A call to the xmlGetID function can return a pointer already freed when parsing an XML document with the XMLPARSEDTDVALID option and without the XMLPARSENOENT option, resulting in a use-after-free issue.

A Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux application running on JDK 9+ may be vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE) via data binding. The specific exploit requires the application to run on Tomcat as a WAR deployment. If the application is deployed as a Spring Boot executable jar, i.e. the default, it is not vulnerable to the exploit. However, the nature of the vulnerability is more general, and there may be other ways to exploit it.
A flaw was found in sctpmakestrresetreq in net/sctp/smmakechunk.c in SCTP network protocol in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, an attempt to use more buffer than was allocated triggers BUGON to cause a denial of service (DOS).

A flaw was found in hw. The Intra-mode BTI refers to a variant of Branch Target Injection aka SpectreV2 (BTI) where an indirect branch speculates to an aliased predictor entry for a different indirect branch in the same predictor mode, and a disclosure gadget at the predicted target transiently executes. These predictor entries may contain targets corresponding to the targets of an indirect near jump, indirect near call, and near return instructions, even if these branches were only transiently executed. The managed runtimes provide an attacker with the means to create the aliasing required for intra-mode BTI attacks.
