A flaw was discovered where the XMLRPC client implementation in Apache XMLRPC, performed deserialization of the server-side exception serialized in the faultCause attribute of XMLRPC error response messages. A malicious or compromised XMLRPC server could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of an application using the Apache XMLRPC client library.

A crafted request uri-path can cause modproxy to forward the request to an origin server choosen by the remote user. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server 2.4.48 and earlier.
A flaw was found in postgresql in versions before 13.3, before 12.7, before 11.12, before 10.17 and before 9.6.22. While modifying certain SQL array values, missing bounds checks let authenticated database users write arbitrary bytes to a wide area of server memory. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
An extension script is vulnerable if it uses @extowner@, @extschema@, or @extschema:...@ inside a quoting construct (dollar quoting, '', or ""). No bundled extension is vulnerable. Vulnerable uses do appear in a documentation example and in non-bundled extensions. Hence, the attack prerequisite is an administrator having installed files of a vulnerable, trusted, non-bundled extension. Subject to that prerequisite, this enables an attacker having database-level CREATE privilege to execute arbitrary code as the bootstrap superuser. PostgreSQL will block this attack in the core server, so there's no need to modify individual extensions.
Supported, Vulnerable Versions: 11 - 15.
A flaw was found in PostgreSQL that allows authenticated database users to execute arbitrary code through missing overflow checks during SQL array value modification. This issue exists due to an integer overflow during array modification where a remote user can trigger the overflow by providing specially crafted data. This enables the execution of arbitrary code on the target system, allowing users to write arbitrary bytes to memory and extensively read the server's memory.
In Pallets Jinja before 2.10.1, str.formatmap allows a sandbox escape.
The sandbox is used to restrict what code can be evaluated when rendering untrusted, user-provided templates. Due to the way string formatting works in Python, the str.formatmap method could be used to escape the sandbox.
This issue was previously addressed for the str.format method in Jinja 2.8.1, which discusses the issue in detail. However, the less-common str.formatmap method was overlooked. This release applies the same sandboxing to both methods.
If you cannot upgrade Jinja, you can override the issafeattribute method on the sandbox and explicitly disallow the formatmap method on string objects.
A flaw was found in the c-ares package. The aressetsortlist is missing checks about the validity of the input string which allows a possible arbitrary length stack overflow. This issue may cause a denial of service or a limited impact on confidentiality and integrity.
Apache HTTP Server, with MPM event, worker or prefork, code executing in less-privileged child processes or threads (including scripts executed by an in-process scripting interpreter) could execute code with the privileges of the parent process (usually root) by manipulating the scoreboard.
A flaw was found in HTTP/2. Using frames with an empty payload, a flood could occur that results in excessive CPU usage and starvation of other clients. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
A flaw was found in HTTP/2. An attacker, using PRIORITY frames to flood the system, could cause excessive CPU usage and starvation of other clients. The largest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
A flaw was found in HTTP/2. Using HEADER frames with invalid HTTP headers and queuing of response RSTSTREAM frames, an attacker could cause a flood resulting in unbounded memory growth. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
A flaw was found in HTTP/2. Using SETTINGS frames and queuing of SETTINGS ACK frames, a flood could occur resulting in unbounded memory growth. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
A flaw was found in HTTP/2. An attacker can request a large amount of data by manipulating window size and stream priority to force the server to queue the data in 1-byte chunks. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this queue can consume excess CPU, memory, or both, leading to a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
A vulnerability was found in http/2 where an attacker opens the HTTP/2 window so the peer can send without constraint; however, they leave the TCP window closed so the peer cannot actually write (many of) the bytes on the wire. The attacker then sends a stream of requests for a large response object. Depending on how the servers queue the responses, this can consume excess memory, CPU, or both, potentially leading to a denial of service.
An issue was discovered in Python through 2.7.16, 3.x through 3.5.7, 3.6.x through 3.6.9, and 3.7.x through 3.7.4. The email module wrongly parses email addresses that contain multiple @ characters. An application that uses the email module and implements some kind of checks on the From/To headers of a message could be tricked into accepting an email address that should be denied. An attack may be the same as in CVE-2019-11340; however, this CVE applies to Python more generally.
A flaw was found in the Java logging library Apache Log4j in version 1.x . This allows a remote attacker to execute code on the server if the deployed application is configured to use JMSAppender.
In 1.x you will find that there are two places where lookups are done - that is JMSAppender.java:207 and JMSAppender.java:222 - if you set TopicBindingName or TopicConnectionFactoryBindingName to something that JNDI can handle - for example "ldap://host:port/a" JNDI will do exactly the same thing it does for 2.x - so 1.x is vulnerable, just attack vector is "safer" as it depends on configuration rather than user input
This flaw in Log4j 2.x is tracked via CVE-2021-44228
An infinite loop in SMLLexer in Pygments versions 1.5 to 2.7.3 may lead to denial of service when performing syntax highlighting of a Standard ML (SML) source file, as demonstrated by input that only contains the "exception" keyword.
A flaw was found in Ruby. RubyGems cgi gem could allow a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks caused by the mishandling of security prefixes in cookie names in the CGI::Cookie.parse function. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could perform cookie prefix spoofing attacks.
An issue was discovered in the EXIF component in PHP before 7.1.27, 7.2.x before 7.2.16, and 7.3.x before 7.3.3. There is an Invalid Read in exifprocessSOFn.
An issue was discovered in the EXIF component in PHP before 7.1.27, 7.2.x before 7.2.16, and 7.3.x before 7.3.3. There is an uninitialized read in exifprocessIFDinMAKERNOTE because of mishandling the makernote->offset relationship to valuelen.
An issue was discovered in the EXIF component in PHP before 7.1.27, 7.2.x before 7.2.16, and 7.3.x before 7.3.3. There is an uninitialized read in exifprocessIFDinMAKERNOTE because of mishandling the datalen variable.
Directory traversal vulnerability in Action View in Ruby on Rails allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files.
Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.20 to 2.4.43. A specially crafted value for the 'Cache-Digest' header in a HTTP/2 request would result in a crash when the server actually tries to HTTP/2 PUSH a resource afterwards. Configuring the HTTP/2 feature via "H2Push off" will mitigate this vulnerability for unpatched servers.
File Content Disclosure in Action View
Impact ------ There is a possible file content disclosure vulnerability in Action View. Specially crafted accept headers in combination with calls to render file: can cause arbitrary files on the target server to be rendered, disclosing the file contents.
The impact is limited to calls to render which render file contents without a specified accept format. Impacted code in a controller looks something like this:
ruby class UserController < ApplicationController def index render file: "#{Rails.root}/some/file" end end
Rendering templates as opposed to files is not impacted by this vulnerability.
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 specifying a format for file rendering, like this:
ruby class UserController < ApplicationController def index render file: "#{Rails.root}/some/file", formats: [:html] end end
In summary, impacted calls to render look like this:
render file: "#{Rails.root}/some/file"
The vulnerability can be mitigated by changing to this:
render file: "#{Rails.root}/some/file", formats: [:html]
Other calls to render are not impacted.
Alternatively, the following monkey patch can be applied in an initializer:
ruby $ 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)
