A flaw was found in Apache tomcat. When the default servlet returned a redirect to a directory (e.g. redirecting to /foo/ when the user requested /foo) a specially crafted URL could be used to cause the redirect to be generated to any URI of the attackers choice.

An attacker able to send and receive messages to an authoritative DNS server may be able to circumvent TSIG authentication of AXFR requests via a carefully constructed request packet. A server that relies solely on TSIG keys for protection with no other ACL protection could be manipulated into:

providing an AXFR of a zone to an unauthorized recipient accepting bogus Notify packets

An unauthorized AXFR (full zone transfer) permits an attacker to view the entire contents of a zone. Protection of zone contents is often a commercial or business requirement.

If accepted, a Notify sets the zone refresh interval to 'now'. If there is not already a refresh cycle in progress then named will initiate one by asking for the SOA RR from its list of masters. If there is already a refresh cycle in progress, then named will queue the new refresh request. If there is already a queued refresh request, the new Notify will be discarded. Bogus notifications can't be used to force a zone transfer from a malicious server, but could trigger a high rate of zone refresh cycles.

Workarounds:

The effects of this vulnerability can be mitigated by using Access Control Lists (ACLs) that require both address range validation and use of TSIG authentication in parallel. For information on how to configure this type of compound authentication control, please see:

https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-00723/0/Using-Access-Control-Lists-ACLs-with-both-addresses-and-keys.html.

(Note that this technique will not be effective against bogus Notify packets if an attacker is able to reach the target DNS server whilst using a spoofed sending address).

In PolicyKit (aka polkit) 0.115, the "start time" protection mechanism can be bypassed because fork() is not atomic, and therefore authorization decisions are improperly cached. This is related to lack of uid checking in polkitbackend/polkitbackendinteractiveauthority.c.

A Spectre gadget was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of system interrupts. An attacker with local access could use this information to reveal private data through a Spectre like side channel.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel with files on tmpfs and hugetlbfs. An attacker is able to bypass file permissions on filesystems mounted with tmpfs/hugetlbs to modify a file and possibly disrupt normal system behaviour.

At this time there is an understanding there is no crash or priviledge escalation but the impact of modifications on these filesystems of files in production systems may have adverse affects.

A flaw was found in computer hardware of the Intel microprocessors related to the instruction-side TLB (Translation Lookaside Buffer) that caches translations from guest (and host) virtual addresses into physical addresses.

An issue was discovered in icoutils 0.31.1. A buffer overflow was observed in the "extracticons" function in the "extract.c" source file. This issue can be triggered by processing a corrupted ico file and will result in an icotool crash.

An issue was discovered in icoutils 0.31.1. A buffer overflow was observed in the "decodeneresourceid" function in the "restable.c" source file. This is happening because the "len" parameter for memcpy is not checked for size and thus becomes a negative integer in the process, resulting in a failed memcpy. This affects wrestool.

An issue was discovered in icoutils 0.31.1. An out-of-bounds read leading to a buffer overflow was observed in the "simplevec" function in the "extract.c" source file. This affects icotool.

The (1) HTTP and (2) FTP coders in ImageMagick before 6.9.3-10 and 7.x before 7.0.1-1 allow remote attackers to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks via a crafted image.

The EPHEMERAL coder in ImageMagick before 6.9.3-10 and 7.x before 7.0.1-1 allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files via a crafted image.

The docshell implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 29.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.5, Thunderbird before 24.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.26 allows remote attackers to trigger the loading of a URL with a spoofed baseURI property, and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, via a crafted web site that performs history navigation.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the readu32 function in Mozilla Firefox before 29.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.5, Thunderbird before 24.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.26 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted JPEG image.

It is unexpected and not allowed to call TTY buffer helpers like ttyinsertflipstring concurrently. This may lead to crashes when ECHOing is enabled and concurrect writers call ptywrite in the meantime. In that case the two writers: the ECHOing from a workqueue and ptywrite from the process race and can overflow the corresponding TTY buffer.

An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.

A flaw was found in microprocessor execution engine sharing on SMT (e.g. Hyper-Threading) architectures. An attacker running a malicious process on the same core of the processor as the victim process, can extract certain secret information.

The reporter is able to steal an OpenSSL (<= 1.1.0h) P-384 private key from a TLS server using this new side-channel vector. It is a local attack in the sense that the malicious process must be running on the same physical core as the victim (an openSSL-powered TLS server in this case). But in general any application which branches on a secret value may be affected.

If a page is loaded from an original site through a hyperlink and contains a redirect to a "data:text/html" URL, triggering a reload will run the reloaded "data:text/html" page with its origin set incorrectly. This allows for a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.1, Firefox ESR < 52.1, and Firefox < 53.

A mechanism to spoof the addressbar through the user interaction on the addressbar and the "onblur" event. The event could be used by script to affect text display to make the loaded site appear to be different from the one actually loaded within the addressbar. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.1, Firefox ESR < 52.1, and Firefox < 53.
