The Debian 12 LX zone image 60f76fd2-143f-4f57-819b-1ae32684e81b from 2024-07 has static SSH keys in it. It has a mitigation (regenerate in-zone), but if you are a SmartOS or Triton user running a Debian 12 LX zone using THIS SPECIFIC image, you should mitigate or rebuild the zone. You should also remove this image from your local image cache. Either of the above links shows you how.

An issue was discovered in illumos before f859e7171bb5db34321e45585839c6c3200ebb90, OmniOS Community Edition r151038, OpenIndiana Hipster 2021.04, and SmartOS 20210923. A local unprivileged user can cause a deadlock and kernel panic via crafted rename and rmdir calls on tmpfs filesystems. Oracle Solaris 10 and 11 is also affected.

An issue was discovered in illumos before 2020-10-22, as used in OmniOS before r151030by, r151032ay, and r151034y and SmartOS before 20201022. There is a buffer overflow in parseusername in lib/libpam/pamframework.c.

This affects the package json before 10.0.0. It is possible to inject arbritary commands using the parseLookup function.

An exploitable denial of service exists in the the Joyent SmartOS OS 20161110T013148Z Hyprlofs file system. The vulnerability is present in the Ioctl system call with the command HYPRLOFSADDENTRIES when used with a 32 bit model. An attacker can cause a buffer to be allocated and never freed. When repeatedly exploit this will result in memory exhaustion, resulting in a full system denial of service.

Affected versions of http-signature contain a vulnerability which can allow an attacker in a privileged network position to modify header names and change the meaning of the request, without requiring an updated signature.

This problem occurs because vulnerable versions of http-signature sign the contents of headers, but not the header names.

Proof of Concept

Consider this to be the initial, untampered request: http POST /pay HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com Date: Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:31:40 GMT X-Payment-Source: src@money.com X-Payment-Destination: dst@money.com Authorization: Signature keyId="Test",algorithm="rsa-sha256",headers="x-payment-source x-payment-destination" MDyO5tSvin5...

And the request is intercepted and tampered as follows: http X-Payment-Source: dst@money.com // Emails switched X-Payment-Destination: src@money.com Authorization: Signature keyId="Test",algorithm="rsa-sha256",headers="x-payment-destination x-payment-source" MDyO5tSvin5...

In the resulting responses, both requests would pass signature verification without issue. src@money.com\n dst@money.com\n

Recommendation

Update to version 0.10.0 or higher.

A flaw was found in sshpk versions before 1.14.1. The regular expressions used for parsing OpenSSH-format public keys in sshpk are resulting in exponential increases in runtime when parsing maliciously constructed inputs.

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Joyent SmartOS release-20170803-20170803T064301Z. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the DTrace DOF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the host OS. Was ZDI-CAN-5106.

Eval injection vulnerability in index.js in the syntax-error package before 1.1.1 for Node.js 0.10.x, as used in IBM Rational Application Developer and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file.

visionmedia send before 0.8.4 for Node.js uses a partial comparison for verifying whether a directory is within the document root, which allows remote attackers to access restricted directories, as demonstrated using "public-restricted" under a "public" directory.

On Intel CPUs sysret to non-canonical address causes a fault on the sysret instruction itself after the stack pointer is set to guest value but before the CPL is changed. Systems running on AMD CPUs are not vulnerable to this issue as sysret on AMD CPUs does not generate a fault before the CPL change.

On Xen, a privileged user on a 64 bit PV guest kernel running on a 64 bit hypervisor could use this flaw to escalate privileges to that of the host. Depending on the particular guest kernel it is also possible that non-privileged guest users could also elevate their privileges to that of the host.

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux guests, only privileged guest users can exploit this issue. HVM guests and 32-bit PV guests cannot be used to exploit this issue.
