An issue was discovered in libexpat before 2.6.4. There is a crash within the XMLResumeParser function because XMLStopParser can stop/suspend an unstarted parser.
cURL libcurl could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw when using OCSP stapling to validate server cerficate. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to establish the connection even if the certificate is revoked.
After a failed cache insertion, addgetnetgrentX tries to send the non-existing response after the not-found header.
In addinnetgrX, addgetnetgrentX may have produced a NULL result, indicating a not-found status, but this is not handled in the subsequent code that prepares the record that will be sent out to the client.

A flaw was found in glibc. When the getaddrinfo function is called with the AFUNSPEC address family and the system is configured with no-aaaa mode via /etc/resolv.conf, a DNS response via TCP larger than 2048 bytes can potentially disclose stack contents through the function returned address data, and may cause a crash.
A flaw was found in the exFAT driver of the Linux kernel. The vulnerability exists in the implementation of the file name reconstruction function, which is responsible for reading file name entries from a directory index and merging file name parts belonging to one file into a single long file name. Since the file name characters are copied into a stack variable, a local privileged attacker could use this flaw to overflow the kernel stack.
A flaw in the Linux Kernel found in the GFS2 file system. On corrupted gfs2 file systems the evict code can try to reference the journal descriptor structure, jdesc, after it has been freed and set to NULL. It can lead to null pointer dereference when gfs2transbegin being called and then fail ingfs2evictinode().

A denial of service vulnerability exists in curl <v8.1.0 in the way libcurl provides several different backends for resolving host names, selected at build time. If it is built to use the synchronous resolver, it allows name resolves to time-out slow operations using alarm() and siglongjmp(). When doing this, libcurl used a global buffer that was not mutex protected and a multi-threaded application might therefore crash or otherwise misbehave.

The Linux kernel 6.3 has a use-after-free in ioptunmapiovarange in drivers/iommu/iommufd/iopagetable.c.
A bug in the Linux kernel version 6.2.0 by syzkaller with our own templates. The bug causes a possible recursive locking scenario, resulting in a deadlock.
The key trace is as follows:
downread+0x9d/0x450 kernel/locking/rwsem.c:1509 dmgetinactivetable+0x2b/0xc0 drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c:773 devstatus+0x4fd/0x7c0 drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c:844 tableclear+0x197/0x280 drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c:1537
In tableclear, it acquires a write lock https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c#L1520 downwrite(&hashlock);
Then before the lock is released at L1539, there is a path shown above: tableclear -> devstatus -> dmgetinactivetable -> downread
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2/source/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c#L773 downread(&hashlock);
It tries to acquire the same read lock again, resulting in the deadlock problem
An authentication bypass vulnerability exists libcurl <8.0.0 in the connection reuse feature which can reuse previously established connections with incorrect user permissions due to a failure to check for changes in the CURLOPTGSSAPIDELEGATION option. This vulnerability affects krb5/kerberos/negotiate/GSSAPI transfers and could potentially result in unauthorized access to sensitive information. The safest option is to not reuse connections if the CURLOPTGSSAPIDELEGATION option has been changed.
An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in libcurl <8.0.0 in the FTP connection reuse feature that can result in wrong credentials being used during subsequent transfers. Previously created connections are kept in a connection pool for reuse if they match the current setup. However certain FTP settings such as CURLOPTFTPACCOUNT CURLOPTFTPALTERNATIVETOUSER CURLOPTFTPSSLCCC and CURLOPTUSESSL were not included in the configuration match checks causing them to match too easily. This could lead to libcurl using the wrong credentials when performing a transfer potentially allowing unauthorized access to sensitive information.
A double free in net/mpls/afmpls.c upon an allocation failure during the renaming of a device in Linux Kernel could allow a remote authenticated attacker from within the local network to cause an unknown impact.
A cleartext transmission of sensitive information vulnerability exists in curl <v7.88.0 that could cause HSTS functionality to behave incorrectly when multiple URLs are requested in parallel. Using its HSTS support, curl can be instructed to use HTTPS instead of using an insecure clear-text HTTP step even when HTTP is provided in the URL. This HSTS mechanism would however surprisingly fail when multiple transfers are done in parallel as the HSTS cache file gets overwritten by the most recentlycompleted transfer. A later HTTP-only transfer to the earlier host name would then not get upgraded properly to HSTS.
curl can be told to parse a .netrc file for credentials. If that file endsin a line with 4095 consecutive non-white space letters and no newline, curlwould first read past the end of the stack-based buffer, and if the readworks, write a zero byte beyond its boundary.This will in most cases cause a segfault or similar, but circumstances might also cause different outcomes.If a malicious user can provide a custom netrc file to an application or otherwise affect its contents, this flaw could be used as denial-of-service.
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/media/usb/ttusb-dec/ttusbdec.c has a memory leak because of the lack of a dvbfrontenddetach call.
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 6.0.9. drivers/char/xillybus/xillyusb.c has a race condition and use-after-free during physical removal of a USB device.
handleipDefaultTTL in agent/mibgroup/ip-mib/ipscalars.c in Net-SNMP 5.8 through 5.9.3 has a NULL Pointer Exception bug that can be used by a remote attacker (who has write access) to cause the instance to crash via a crafted UDP packet, resulting in Denial of Service.
handleipv6IpForwarding in agent/mibgroup/ip-mib/ipscalars.c in Net-SNMP 5.4.3 through 5.9.3 has a NULL Pointer Exception bug that can be used by a remote attacker to cause the instance to crash via a crafted UDP packet, resulting in Denial of Service.
A flaw out of bounds memory access found in the Intel iSMT SMBus host controller driver. If local user triggers I2CSMBUSBLOCKDATA (with the ioctl I2CSMBUS) with some malicious input data, it can lead to system crash. The problem located in ismtaccess() function of the drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-ismt.c.
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.18.14. xfrmexpandpolicies in net/xfrm/xfrmpolicy.c can cause a refcount to be dropped twice.
Impact Initializing a checkboxradio widget on an input enclosed within a label makes that parent label contents considered as the input label. If you call .checkboxradio( "refresh" ) on such a widget and the initial HTML contained encoded HTML entities, they will erroneously get decoded. This can lead to potentially executing JavaScript code.
For example, starting with the following initial secure HTML: html <label> <input id="test-input"> <img src=x onerror="alert(1)"> </label> and calling: js $( "#test-input" ).checkboxradio(); $( "#test-input" ).checkboxradio( "refresh" ); will turn the initial HTML into: html <label> <!-- some jQuery UI elements --> <input id="test-input"> <img src=x onerror="alert(1)"> </label> and the alert will get executed.
Patches The bug has been patched in jQuery UI 1.13.2.
Workarounds To remediate the issue, if you can change the initial HTML, you can wrap all the non-input contents of the label in a span: html <label> <input id="test-input"> <span><img src=x onerror="alert(1)"></span> </label>

A malicious server can serve excessive amounts of Set-Cookie: headers in a HTTP response to curl and curl < 7.84.0 stores all of them. A sufficiently large amount of (big) cookies make subsequent HTTP requests to this, or other servers to which the cookies match, create requests that become larger than the threshold that curl uses internally to avoid sending crazy large requests (1048576 bytes) and instead returns an error.This denial state might remain for as long as the same cookies are kept, match and haven't expired. Due to cookie matching rules, a server on foo.example.com can set cookies that also would match for bar.example.com, making it it possible for a "sister server" to effectively cause a denial of service for a sibling site on the same second level domain using this method.

A vulnerability was found in curl. This issue occurs because it mishandles message verification failures when curl does FTP transfers secured by krb5. This flaw makes it possible for a Man-in-the-middle attack to go unnoticed and allows data injection into the client.
A vulnerability was found in curl. This issue occurs because the number of acceptable "links" in the "decompression chain" was unbounded, allowing a malicious server to insert a virtually unlimited number of compression steps. This flaw leads to a denial of service, either by mistake or by a malicious actor.
Using its HSTS support, curl can be instructed to use HTTPS directly insteadof using an insecure clear-text HTTP step even when HTTP is provided in theURL. This mechanism could be bypassed if the host name in the given URL used atrailing dot while not using one when it built the HSTS cache. Or the otherway around - by having the trailing dot in the HSTS cache and not using thetrailing dot in the URL.
libcurl wrongly allows cookies to be set for Top Level Domains (TLDs) if thehost name is provided with a trailing dot.curl can be told to receive and send cookies. curl's "cookie engine" can bebuilt with or without Public Suffix Listawareness. If PSL support not provided a more rudimentary check exists to atleast prevent cookies from being set on TLDs. This check was broken if thehost name in the URL uses a trailing dot.This can allow arbitrary sites to set cookies that then would get sent to adifferent and unrelated site or domain.
