A flaw was found in c-ares library, where a missing input validation check of host names returned by DNS (Domain Name Servers) can lead to output of wrong hostnames which might potentially lead to Domain Hijacking. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
The Samba vfsfruit module uses extended file attributes (EA, xattr) to provide "...enhanced compatibility with Apple SMB clients and interoperability with a Netatalk 3 AFP fileserver." Samba versions prior to 4.13.17, 4.14.12 and 4.15.5 with vfsfruit configured allow out-of-bounds heap read and write via specially crafted extended file attributes. A remote attacker with write access to extended file attributes can execute arbitrary code with the privileges of smbd, typically root.
FreeIPA supports the Kerberos PKINIT protocol extension (RFC 4556). PKINIT enables a client to authenticate to the KDC using an X.509 certificate and the corresonding private key, rather than a passphrase or keytab. FreeIPA uses mapping rules to map a certificate presented during a PKINIT authentication request to the corresponding principal. The mapping filter is vulnerable to LDAP filter injection. The search result can be influenced by values in the certificate, which may be attacker controlled. In the most extreme case, an attacker could gain control of the admin account, leading to full domain takeover.
FreeIPA is not vulnerable in its default configuration.
The problem is in libssscertmap, which is part of SSSD. FreeIPA servers use this library in ipakdb Kerberos plugin implementation.
The issue was introduced in SSSD 1.15.3 (when libssscertmap was introduced) and resolved in SSSD 2.3.1.
A flaw was found in the KVM's AMD code for supporting SVM nested virtualization. The flaw occurs when processing the VMCB (virtual machine control block) provided by the L1 guest to spawn/handle a nested guest (L2). Due to improper validation of the "virtext" field, this issue could allow a malicious L1 to disable both VMLOAD/VMSAVE intercepts and VLS (Virtual VMLOAD/VMSAVE) for the L2 guest. As a result, the L2 guest would be allowed to read/write physical pages of the host, resulting in a crash of the entire system, leak of sensitive data or potential guest-to-host escape.
An issue was discovered in sd-bus in systemd 239. busprocessobject() in libsystemd/sd-bus/bus-objects.c allocates a variable-length stack buffer for temporarily storing the object path of incoming D-Bus messages. An unprivileged local user can exploit this by sending a specially crafted message to PID1, causing the stack pointer to jump over the stack guard pages into an unmapped memory region and trigger a denial of service (systemd PID1 crash and kernel panic).
An improper authorization flaw was discovered in systemd-resolved in the way it configures the exposed DBus interface org.freedesktop.resolve1. An unprivileged local attacker could call all DBus methods, even when marked as privileged operations. An attacker could abuse this flaw by changing the DNS, Search Domain, LLMNR, DNSSEC and other network link settings without any authorization, allowing control of the network names resolution process and cause the system to communicate with wrong or malicious servers.
