A flaw was found in Apache tomcat. When the default servlet returned a redirect to a directory (e.g. redirecting to /foo/ when the user requested /foo) a specially crafted URL could be used to cause the redirect to be generated to any URI of the attackers choice.

An issue was discovered in the procpidstack function in fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel . An attacker with a local account can trick the stack unwinder code to leak stack contents to userspace. The fix allows only root may inspect the kernel stack of an arbitrary task.

A flaw was found in microprocessor execution engine sharing on SMT (e.g. Hyper-Threading) architectures. An attacker running a malicious process on the same core of the processor as the victim process, can extract certain secret information.

The reporter is able to steal an OpenSSL (<= 1.1.0h) P-384 private key from a TLS server using this new side-channel vector. It is a local attack in the sense that the malicious process must be running on the same physical core as the victim (an openSSL-powered TLS server in this case). But in general any application which branches on a secret value may be affected.
