The (1) git-remote-ext and (2) unspecified other remote helper programs in Git before 2.3.10, 2.4.x before 2.4.10, 2.5.x before 2.5.4, and 2.6.x before 2.6.1 do not properly restrict the allowed protocols, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a URL in a (a) .gitmodules file or (b) unknown other sources in a submodule.

A flaw was found in http-proxy-agent versions before 2.1.0. The http-proxy-agent passes auth option to the Buffer constructor without proper sanitization, resulting in DoS and uninitialized memory leak in setups where an attacker could submit typed input to the 'auth' parameter (e.g. JSON).

The CGIHTTPServer module in Python 2.7.5 and 3.3.4 does not properly handle URLs in which URL encoding is used for path separators, which allows remote attackers to read script source code or conduct directory traversal attacks and execute unintended code via a crafted character sequence, as demonstrated by a %2f separator.

Affected Node.js versions can be exploited to perform HTTP desync attacks and deliver malicious payloads to unsuspecting users. The payloads can be crafted by an attacker to hijack user sessions, poison cookies, perform clickjacking, and a multitude of other attacks depending on the architecture of the underlying system.

Downloads & release details

Node.js v10.19.0 (LTS) - https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v10.19.0/ Node.js v12.15.0 (LTS) - https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v12.15.0/ Node.js v13.8.0 (LTS) - https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v13.8.0/

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.

PostgreSQL is vulnerable to SQL injection. A remote attacker could send specially-crafted SQL statements when the server is configured to use trust authentication with a clientcert requirement or to use cert authentication, which could allow the attacker to view, add, modify or delete information in the back-end database.

Denial of Service Vulnerability in Action View

Impact ------ Specially crafted accept headers can cause the Action View template location code to consume 100% CPU, causing the server unable to process requests. This impacts all Rails applications that render views.

All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.

Releases -------- The 6.0.0.beta3, 5.2.2.1, 5.1.6.2, 5.0.7.2, and 4.2.11.1 releases are available at the normal locations.

Workarounds ----------- This vulnerability can be mitigated by wrapping render calls with respondto blocks. For example, the following example is vulnerable:

ruby class UserController < ApplicationController def index render "index" end end

But the following code is not vulnerable:

ruby class UserController < ApplicationController def index respondto |format| format.html { render "index" } end end end

Implicit rendering is impacted, so this code is vulnerable:

ruby class UserController < ApplicationController def index end end

But can be changed this this:

ruby class UserController < ApplicationController def index respondto |format| format.html { render "index" } end end end

Alternatively to specifying the format, the following monkey patch can be applied in an initializer:

$ cat config/initializers/formatsfilter.rb frozenstringliteral: true

ActionDispatch::Request.prepend(Module.new do def formats super().select do |format| format.symbol || format.ref == "/" end end end)

Please note that only the 5.2.x, 5.1.x, 5.0.x, and 4.2.x series are supported at present. Users of earlier unsupported releases are advised to upgrade as soon as possible as we cannot guarantee the continued availability of security fixes for unsupported releases.

Also note that the patches for this vulnerability are the same as CVE-2019-5418.

IDE Xcode Server. Multiple issues were addressed by updating nginx to version 1.21.0.

A flaw was found in haproxy. Anybody who can add a "set-cookie2 X=Y" header into the return path from their server/backend will kill haproxy in 2.2 (and onwards), resulting in a denial of service.

A flaw was found in python. In algorithms with quadratic time complexity using non-binary bases, when using int("text"), a system could take 50ms to parse an int string with 100,000 digits and 5s for 1,000,000 digits (float, decimal, int.frombytes(), and int() for binary bases 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 are not affected). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

A flaw was found in ruby, where the date object was found to be vulnerable to a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) during the parsing of dates. This flaw allows an attacker to hang a ruby application by providing a specially crafted date string. The highest threat to this vulnerability is system availability.

Vulnerability in the MySQL Server component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Server: Replication). Supported versions that are affected are 8.0.16 and prior. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of MySQL Server accessible data.
