A flaw was found in SSSD. The sssnssprotocolparseaddr() function in the NSS responder (src/responder/nss/nssprotocol.c) extracts a 32-bit addrlen value from the client request but only validates that the body is at least 8 bytes, without checking that addrlen fits within the remaining packet body. This unvalidated length is passed through to tallocmemdup() in cachereqdatacreate(), which copies addrlen bytes from the small request buffer, causing a heap-buffer-overflow read. A local attacker can trigger this by connecting to the world-writable NSS responder socket (/var/lib/sss/pipes/nss) and sending a SSSNSSGETHOSTBYADDR (0x0053) request with a large addrlen value and a valid address family payload so that inetntop() succeeds. Successful exploitation crashes the sssdnss responder, causing a denial of service for NSS name resolution. Reported via PSIRTSUPT-20553 by BreachX Zero Day Labs.

ext/fts3/fts3snippet.c in SQLite before 3.32.0 has a NULL pointer dereference via a crafted matchinfo() query.
A vulnerability was found in DPDK through version 18.11, The vhost crypto library code contains a post message handler (vhostcryptomsgposthandler) which calls vhostcryptocreatesess() which in turn calls transformcipherparam() depending on the operation type. It is transformcipherparam() that handles the payload data. The payload contains a cipher key length and a static VHOSTUSERCRYPTOMAXCIPHERKEYLENGTH (64) byte key buffer. When transformcipherparam() handles the payload data it does not check to see if the buffer length doesn't exceed VHOSTUSERCRYPTOMAXCIPHERKEYLENGTH. This missing check can cause out of bound reads which could trigger a crash or a potential information leak. Also, the vhost crypto library code contains a post message handler (vhostcryptomsgposthandler) which calls vhostcryptocreatesess() which in turn calls transformchainparam() depending on the operation type. It is transformchainparam() that handles the payload data. The payload contains a cipher key length and a static VHOSTUSERCRYPTOMAXCIPHERKEYLENGTH (64) byte key buffer, it also contains a digest length and a static authentication key buffer (size: VHOSTUSERCRYPTOMAXHMACKEYLENGTH(512)) and authentication key buffer length. None of these length values are validated. Which can lead to reading out of bound.
Accounts. The issue was addressed with improved checks.

A flaw was found in the System Security Services Daemon (SSSD). The pampasskeychildreaddata() function within the PAM passkey responder fails to properly handle raw bytes received from a pipe. Because the data is treated as a NUL-terminated C string without explicit termination, it results in an out-of-bounds read when processed by functions like snprintf(). A local attacker could potentially trigger this vulnerability by initiating a crafted passkey authentication request, causing the SSSD PAM responder to crash, resulting in a local Denial of Service (DoS).
A content injection vulnerability was found in the ABRT post-create event handler scripts in libreport. The event script queries the systemd journal for log entries matching the crashed process and writes the results to files in the dump directory without sanitizing embedded control characters. A local user can inject arbitrary content into the journal output by embedding newline characters in syslog messages, controlling the content that root writes to dump directory files.
Versions of the package sanitize-html before 2.12.1 are vulnerable to Information Exposure when used on the backend and with the style attribute allowed, allowing enumeration of files in the system (including project dependencies). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gather details about the file system structure and dependencies of the targeted server.
Impact An attacker could send a JWE containing compressed data that used large amounts of memory and CPU when decompressed by Decrypt or DecryptMulti. Those functions now return an error if the decompressed data would exceed 250kB or 10x the compressed size (whichever is larger). Thanks to Enze Wang@Alioth and Jianjun Chen@Zhongguancun Lab (@zer0yu and @chenjj) for reporting.
Patches The problem is fixed in the following packages and versions: - github.com/go-jose/go-jose/v4 version 4.0.1 - github.com/go-jose/go-jose/v3 version 3.0.3 - gopkg.in/go-jose/go-jose.v2 version 2.6.3
The problem will not be fixed in the following package because the package is archived: - gopkg.in/square/go-jose.v2
Jinja is an extensible templating engine. The xmlattr filter in affected versions of Jinja accepts keys containing non-attribute characters. XML/HTML attributes cannot contain spaces, /, >, or =, as each would then be interpreted as starting a separate attribute. If an application accepts keys (as opposed to only values) as user input, and renders these in pages that other users see as well, an attacker could use this to inject other attributes and perform XSS. The fix for CVE-2024-22195 only addressed spaces but not other characters. Accepting keys as user input is now explicitly considered an unintended use case of the xmlattr filter, and code that does so without otherwise validating the input should be flagged as insecure, regardless of Jinja version. Accepting values as user input continues to be safe. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.4.
An issue was discovered in GNOME GLib before 2.78.5, and 2.79.x and 2.80.x before 2.80.1. When a GDBus-based client subscribes to signals from a trusted system service such as NetworkManager on a shared computer, other users of the same computer can send spoofed D-Bus signals that the GDBus-based client will wrongly interpret as having been sent by the trusted system service. This could lead to the GDBus-based client behaving incorrectly, with an application-dependent impact.
Summary
Terrapin is a prefix truncation attack targeting the SSH protocol. More precisely, Terrapin breaks the integrity of SSH's secure channel. By carefully adjusting the sequence numbers during the handshake, an attacker can remove an arbitrary amount of messages sent by the client or server at the beginning of the secure channel without the client or server noticing it.
Mitigations
To mitigate this protocol vulnerability, OpenSSH suggested a so-called "strict kex" which alters the SSH handshake to ensure a Man-in-the-Middle attacker cannot introduce unauthenticated messages as well as convey sequence number manipulation across handshakes.
Warning: To take effect, both the client and server must support this countermeasure.
As a stop-gap measure, peers may also (temporarily) disable the affected algorithms and use unaffected alternatives like AES-GCM instead until patches are available.
Details
The SSH specifications of ChaCha20-Poly1305 (chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com) and Encrypt-then-MAC (-etm@openssh.com MACs) are vulnerable against an arbitrary prefix truncation attack (a.k.a. Terrapin attack). This allows for an extension negotiation downgrade by stripping the SSHMSGEXTINFO sent after the first message after SSHMSGNEWKEYS, downgrading security, and disabling attack countermeasures in some versions of OpenSSH. When targeting Encrypt-then-MAC, this attack requires the use of a CBC cipher to be practically exploitable due to the internal workings of the cipher mode. Additionally, this novel attack technique can be used to exploit previously unexploitable implementation flaws in a Man-in-the-Middle scenario.
The attack works by an attacker injecting an arbitrary number of SSHMSGIGNORE messages during the initial key exchange and consequently removing the same number of messages just after the initial key exchange has concluded. This is possible due to missing authentication of the excess SSHMSGIGNORE messages and the fact that the implicit sequence numbers used within the SSH protocol are only checked after the initial key exchange.
In the case of ChaCha20-Poly1305, the attack is guaranteed to work on every connection as this cipher does not maintain an internal state other than the message's sequence number. In the case of Encrypt-Then-MAC, practical exploitation requires the use of a CBC cipher; while theoretical integrity is broken for all ciphers when using this mode, message processing will fail at the application layer for CTR and stream ciphers.
For more details see https://terrapin-attack.com.
Impact
This attack targets the specification of ChaCha20-Poly1305 (chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com) and Encrypt-then-MAC (-etm@openssh.com), which are widely adopted by well-known SSH implementations and can be considered de-facto standard. These algorithms can be practically exploited; however, in the case of Encrypt-Then-MAC, we additionally require the use of a CBC cipher. As a consequence, this attack works against all well-behaving SSH implementations supporting either of those algorithms and can be used to downgrade (but not fully strip) connection security in case SSH extension negotiation (RFC8308) is supported. The attack may also enable attackers to exploit certain implementation flaws in a man-in-the-middle (MitM) scenario.
A flaw in the Linux Kernel found in the Open vSwitch Kernel module.
The Netlink copy code in the ovs kernel module attempts to make an in-kernel copy of the actions required. That means that when recursive operations, like sample(), clone(), decttl(), etc include additional actions, the code pushes a new stack frame and recursively calls into the code block.
Unfortunately, OVS module doesn't validate the stack depth, and will push too many frames causing a stack overflow which can lead to crash.

A flaw was found in the grafana package. Auth proxy allows authentication of a user by only providing the username (or email) in an X-WEBAUTH-USER HTTP header. The trust assumption is that a front proxy will take care of authentication and that the Grafana server is only publicly reachable with this front proxy.
An IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) vulnerability was found on Grafana Teams APIs. This flaw impacts the /teams/:teamId, /teams/:search, /teams/:teamId/members API endpoints and may allow an authenticated attacker to view unintended data by querying for the specific team ID or search for teams and see the total number of available teams (including for those teams where the user does not have access to).

A Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was found in the way Grafana handles data sources. This flaw allows an attacker to serve HTML content through the Grafana data source or plugin proxy and trick a user to visit this HTML page using a specially crafted link and execute a Cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. Should an existing data source connected to Grafana be compromised, it could be used to inappropriately gain access to other data sources connected to the same Grafana org.
A vulnerability was found in Redis. This flaw allows authenticated users to use the HINCRBYFLOAT command to create an invalid hash field that may crash Redis on access.
A flaw was found in urijs due to the fix of CVE-2021-3647 not considering case-sensitive protocol schemes in the URL. This issue allows attackers to bypass the patch.
Apache Ant 1.1 to 1.9.14 and 1.10.0 to 1.10.7 uses the default temporary directory identified by the Java system property java.io.tmpdir for several tasks and may thus leak sensitive information. The fixcrlf and replaceregexp tasks also copy files from the temporary directory back into the build tree allowing an attacker to inject modified source files into the build process.
A flaw was found in the Go standard library packages before upstream versions 1.15 and 1.14.8. Both the net/http/cgi and net/http/fcgi packages use a default Content-Type response header value of "text/html", rather than "text/plain". This flaw allows an attacker to exploit this issue in applications using these packages by uploading crafted files, allowing a Cross-site Scripting attack (XSS). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.
