A link following vulnerability in LXD allows an attacker to achieve arbitrary file read and write operations on the host system. When importing or unpacking an image archive, LXD fails to validate whether the metadata.yaml file is a symbolic link. An attacker can exploit this flaw by providing a crafted image archive with a symlinked metadata.yaml file pointing to target file paths on the host system.

In ISC BIND9 versions BIND 9.11.14 -> 9.11.19, BIND 9.14.9 -> 9.14.12, BIND 9.16.0 -> 9.16.3, BIND Supported Preview Edition 9.11.14-S1 -> 9.11.19-S1: Unless a nameserver is providing authoritative service for one or more zones and at least one zone contains an empty non-terminal entry containing an asterisk ("") character, this defect cannot be encountered. A would-be attacker who is allowed to change zone content could theoretically introduce such a record in order to exploit this condition to cause denial of service, though we consider the use of this vector unlikely because any such attack would require a significant privilege level and be easily traceable.

A security regression (CVE-2006-5051) was discovered in OpenSSH's server (sshd). There is a race condition which can lead sshd to handle some signals in an unsafe manner. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to trigger it by failing to authenticate within a set time period.

An attacker can leverage sudo's -R (--chroot) option to run arbitrary commands as root, even if they are not listed in the sudoers file. Sudo versions 1.9.14 to 1.9.17 inclusive are affected.

An authorization bypass vulnerability in LXD allows an authenticated attacker to bypass target project security restrictions during cross-project instance migrations. When moving an instance cross-project to a different cluster member via POST /1.0/instances/{name} with migration: true, project: <target>, and target: <member>, the destination node skips all project restriction checks because the request arrives as an internal cluster notification. An attacker can exploit this to introduce disallowed instance configurations into a restricted project.

An authorization bypass vulnerability in LXD allows an authenticated user to bypass project-level disk and volume limits. Two related code paths fail to verify resource limits during volume operations: the storagePoolVolumeTypePostMove function omits the limits.AllowVolumeCreation check before moving a volume across projects, and volume snapshot restore operations skip the AllowVolumeUpdate check when the configuration is nil (Config == nil). An attacker can exploit these flaws to allocate storage resources that exceed the administrative limits configured for a project.

An authorization bypass vulnerability in LXD allows an authenticated attacker to bypass target project restrictions during instance migration. When migrating an instance to a target project, LXD accepts configuration overrides without validating the new configuration against the target project's enforced restrictions. An attacker can exploit this flaw to move instances with disallowed high-privilege configurations into restricted projects, bypassing security controls.

An authorization bypass vulnerability in LXD allows an authenticated attacker to bypass project-level container isolation restrictions. When a project is configured with restrictions on container privileges (such as enforcing restricted.containers.privilege=isolated), LXD fails to enforce the requirement if an instance configuration omits the security.idmap.isolated key. An attacker can exploit this flaw by creating or updating an instance without explicitly setting security.idmap.isolated, bypassing the target project's security constraints.

An authorization bypass vulnerability in LXD due to a timing flaw during configuration merging allows an authenticated attacker to bypass target project restrictions during cross-project instance copies. When copying an instance to a target project, LXD performs restriction checks before configuration merging is complete, creating a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) condition. An attacker can exploit this flaw to copy instances with disallowed high-privilege configurations into restricted projects, bypassing security controls.

A link following vulnerability in LXD allows an attacker to achieve root command execution on the host system. During the import or unpacking of crafted image or backup archives, LXD fails to properly validate and confine the backup.yaml file when it exists as a symbolic link. An attacker can exploit this flaw by providing a malicious archive with a symlinked backup.yaml file, causing LXD to process unconfined configuration metadata and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.

A path traversal vulnerability in LXD allows an attacker to manipulate file system paths during backup import and restore operations. When importing or restoring a backup archive, LXD fails to validate instance and storage volume names contained within the archive metadata. An attacker can exploit this flaw by supplying a crafted backup archive with malicious instance or volume names containing path traversal sequences, potentially allowing file access or overwriting outside the designated restore directory.

Path traversal in apport-unpack in Canonical Apport before 2.36.0, 2.34.2, and 2.28.4 on Linux allows an attacker to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the executing user via an attacker controlled key names in crash report files.

A path traversal vulnerability in LXD's instance template processing allows an attacker with container edit permissions, or any user launching a crafted image, to overwrite arbitrary files on the host system as root. When processing target template paths specified in metadata.yaml, LXD validates the path against a confined os.Root directory handle but subsequently opens and creates the file using os.Create with an unconfined string path. This discrepancy between path resolution checks and file creation allows an attacker to escape directory confinement, overwrite root-owned host files, and achieve host root code execution.

A flaw was found in the Serialization component of OpenJDK. A reference to an uninitialized class descriptor encountered during object stream deserialization could cause an unexpected exception to be raised when processing an untrusted serialized input.

A CRLF injection flaw was found in the Lightweight HTTP Server component of OpenJDK. The HttpServer implementation did not restrict the use of CR and LF characters in values for HTTP headers, possibly allowing HTTP response splitting attacks.

A regular expression denial of service flaw was found in the Concurrency component of OpenJDK. The use of overly complex regular expressions in java.utils.Scanner could cause a high CPU usage when Scanner was used on parse certain inputs.

A flaw was found in the way the readObject() method of the MethodType class in the Libraries component of OpenJDK checked argument types. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

A flaw was found in the boundary checks in the java.nio buffer classes in the Libraries component of OpenJDK, where it is bypassed in certain cases. This flaw allows an untrusted Java application or applet o bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

A flaw was found in the Nashorn JavaScript engine in the Scripting component of OpenJDK. The state machine of the regular expression Parser did not correctly handle empty string nodes in certain cases, which could cause an unexpected exception to be raised when processing a specially crafted regular expression.

A flaw was found in the Nashorn JavaScript engine in the Scripting component of OpenJDK. Processing of the forward references prior to checking for regular expression syntax errors could cause an unexpected exception to be raised when processing a specially crafted regular expression.

A flaw was found in the Serialization component of OpenJDK. The invokeWriteObject() method of the ObjectStreamClass method failed to catch InstantiationError exception during object stream deserialization, which could cause an unexpected exception to be raised when processing an untrusted serialized input.

A flaw was found in the Security component of OpenJDK. It was discovered that the unmarshalKeyInfo() method of the DOMKeyInfoFactory class and the unmarshalXMLSignature() method of the DOMXMLSignatureFactory class could raise exceptions not declared as thrown by these methods when reading key info or XML signature data from XML input.

A flaw was found in the way the TLS implementation in the JSSE component of OpenJDK re-used single null TLS sessions for new TLS connections. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to impact availability of a Java application providing TLS server.

An input validation flaw was found in the URL class implementation in the Networking component of OpenJDK. A URL class instance could have been created for a URL string containing invalid characters not permitted in URLs.

It was discovered that crypto provider implementations in the JCE component of OpenJDK for crypto algorithms such as AES or SHA did not perform array bounds checks. This could lead to out-of-bounds access if compiler intrinsics were used instead of the Java runtime implementations of the specific operations.

An infinite loop flaw was found in the RIFF (Resource Interchange File Format) file format reader in the Sound component of OpenJDK. A specially crafted RIFF file could cause a Java application to enter an infinite loop while reading the RIFF file.

It was discovered that the implementation of the Throwable class in the Utilities component of OpenJDK did not sufficiently validate serial stream before deserializing suppressed exceptions. A specially-crafted input could cause a Java application to construct inconsistent object and possibly use an excessive amount of system resources when deserialized.

It was discovered that the implementation of the Collections class in the Utilities component of OpenJDK did not limit the amount of memory allocated when creating object instance from a serialized form. A specially-crafted input could cause a Java application to use an excessive amount of memory when deserialized.
