Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netlabel: fix out-of-bounds memory accesses
There are two array out-of-bounds memory accesses, one in
cipso_v4_map_lvl_valid(), the other in netlbl_bitmap_walk(). Both
errors are embarassingly simple, and the fixes are straightforward.
As a FYI for anyone backporting this patch to kernels prior to v4.8,
you'll want to apply the netlbl_bitmap_walk() patch to
cipso_v4_bitmap_walk() as netlbl_bitmap_walk() doesn't exist before
Linux v4.8.
es5-ext contains ECMAScript 5 extensions. Passing functions with very long names or complex default argument names into `function#copy` or `function#toStringTokens` may cause the script to stall. The vulnerability is patched in v0.10.63.
SQL Injection vulnerability in Nagios XI 2024R1.01 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted payload to the monitoringwizard.php component.
An issue in Nagios XI 2024R1.01 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via a crafted script to the /usr/local/nagios/bin/npcd component.
nanomq 0.21.2 contains a Use-After-Free vulnerability in /nanomq/nng/src/core/socket.c.
ESPHome is a system to control your ESP8266/ESP32. A security misconfiguration in the edit configuration file API in the dashboard component of ESPHome version 2023.12.9 (command line installation) allows authenticated remote attackers to read and write arbitrary files under the configuration directory rendering remote code execution possible. This vulnerability is patched in 2024.2.1.
Kirby is a content management system. The new link field introduced in Kirby 4 allows several different link types that each validate the entered link to the relevant URL format. It also includes a "Custom" link type for advanced use cases that don't fit any of the pre-defined link formats. As the "Custom" link type is meant to be flexible, it also allows the javascript: URL scheme. In some use cases this can be intended, but it can also be misused by attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code when a user or visitor clicks on a link that is generated from the contents of the link field. This vulnerability is patched in 4.1.1.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/membarrier: reduce the ability to hammer on sys_membarrier
On some systems, sys_membarrier can be very expensive, causing overall
slowdowns for everything. So put a lock on the path in order to
serialize the accesses to prevent the ability for this to be called at
too high of a frequency and saturate the machine.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/fpu: Stop relying on userspace for info to fault in xsave buffer
Before this change, the expected size of the user space buffer was
taken from fx_sw->xstate_size. fx_sw->xstate_size can be changed
from user-space, so it is possible construct a sigreturn frame where:
* fx_sw->xstate_size is smaller than the size required by valid bits in
fx_sw->xfeatures.
* user-space unmaps parts of the sigrame fpu buffer so that not all of
the buffer required by xrstor is accessible.
In this case, xrstor tries to restore and accesses the unmapped area
which results in a fault. But fault_in_readable succeeds because buf +
fx_sw->xstate_size is within the still mapped area, so it goes back and
tries xrstor again. It will spin in this loop forever.
Instead, fault in the maximum size which can be touched by XRSTOR (taken
from fpstate->user_size).
[ dhansen: tweak subject / changelog ]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "kobject: Remove redundant checks for whether ktype is NULL"
This reverts commit 1b28cb81dab7c1eedc6034206f4e8d644046ad31.
It is reported to cause problems, so revert it for now until the root
cause can be found.
