A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Production module of Pkp Ojs v3.3 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the Input subject field under the Add Discussion function.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Submission module of Pkp Ojs v3.3 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the Input subject field under the Add Discussion function.
An issue was discovered in phpseclib 1.x before 1.0.23, 2.x before 2.0.47, and 3.x before 3.0.36. An attacker can construct a malformed certificate containing an extremely large prime to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption for an isPrime primality check). NOTE: this issue was introduced when attempting to fix CVE-2023-27560.
An issue was discovered in phpseclib 1.x before 1.0.23, 2.x before 2.0.47, and 3.x before 3.0.36. When processing the ASN.1 object identifier of a certificate, a sub identifier may be provided that leads to a denial of service (CPU consumption for decodeOID).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix removed dentries still existing after log is synced
When we move one inode from one directory to another and both the inode
and its previous parent directory were logged before, we are not supposed
to have the dentry for the old parent if we have a power failure after the
log is synced. Only the new dentry is supposed to exist.
Generally this works correctly, however there is a scenario where this is
not currently working, because the old parent of the file/directory that
was moved is not authoritative for a range that includes the dir index and
dir item keys of the old dentry. This case is better explained with the
following example and reproducer:
# The test requires a very specific layout of keys and items in the
# fs/subvolume btree to trigger the bug. So we want to make sure that
# on whatever platform we are, we have the same leaf/node size.
#
# Currently in btrfs the node/leaf size can not be smaller than the page
# size (but it can be greater than the page size). So use the largest
# supported node/leaf size (64K).
$ mkfs.btrfs -f -n 65536 /dev/sdc
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
# "testdir" is inode 257.
$ mkdir /mnt/testdir
$ chmod 755 /mnt/testdir
# Create several empty files to have the directory "testdir" with its
# items spread over several leaves (7 in this case).
$ for ((i = 1; i <= 1200; i++)); do
echo -n > /mnt/testdir/file$i
done
# Create our test directory "dira", inode number 1458, which gets all
# its items in leaf 7.
#
# The BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY item for inode 257 ("testdir") that points to
# the entry named "dira" is in leaf 2, while the BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY
# item that points to that entry is in leaf 3.
#
# For this particular filesystem node size (64K), file count and file
# names, we endup with the directory entry items from inode 257 in
# leaves 2 and 3, as previously mentioned - what matters for triggering
# the bug exercised by this test case is that those items are not placed
# in leaf 1, they must be placed in a leaf different from the one
# containing the inode item for inode 257.
#
# The corresponding BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY and BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY items for
# the parent inode (257) are the following:
#
# item 460 key (257 DIR_ITEM 3724298081) itemoff 48344 itemsize 34
# location key (1458 INODE_ITEM 0) type DIR
# transid 6 data_len 0 name_len 4
# name: dira
#
# and:
#
# item 771 key (257 DIR_INDEX 1202) itemoff 36673 itemsize 34
# location key (1458 INODE_ITEM 0) type DIR
# transid 6 data_len 0 name_len 4
# name: dira
$ mkdir /mnt/testdir/dira
# Make sure everything done so far is durably persisted.
$ sync
# Now do a change to inode 257 ("testdir") that does not result in
# COWing leaves 2 and 3 - the leaves that contain the directory items
# pointing to inode 1458 (directory "dira").
#
# Changing permissions, the owner/group, updating or adding a xattr,
# etc, will not change (COW) leaves 2 and 3. So for the sake of
# simplicity change the permissions of inode 257, which results in
# updating its inode item and therefore change (COW) only leaf 1.
$ chmod 700 /mnt/testdir
# Now fsync directory inode 257.
#
# Since only the first leaf was changed/COWed, we log the inode item of
# inode 257 and only the dentries found in the first leaf, all have a
# key type of BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY, and no keys of type
# BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY, because they sort after the former type and none
# exist in the first leaf.
#
# We also log 3 items that represent ranges for dir items and dir
# indexes for which the log is authoritative:
#
# 1) a key of type BTRFS_DIR_LOG_ITEM_KEY, which indicates the log is
# authoritative for all BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY keys that have an offset
# in the range [0, 2285968570] (the offset here is th

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: dell-smbios-wmi: Fix oops on rmmod dell_smbios
init_dell_smbios_wmi() only registers the dell_smbios_wmi_driver on systems
where the Dell WMI interface is supported. While exit_dell_smbios_wmi()
unregisters it unconditionally, this leads to the following oops:
[ 175.722921] ------------[ cut here ]------------

Make the unregister happen on the same condition the register happens
to fix this.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-loop: fix memory leak in nvme_loop_create_ctrl()
When creating loop ctrl in nvme_loop_create_ctrl(), if nvme_init_ctrl()
fails, the loop ctrl should be freed before jumping to the "out" label.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: fix memory leak in nvmet_alloc_ctrl()
When creating ctrl in nvmet_alloc_ctrl(), if the cntlid_min is larger
than cntlid_max of the subsystem, and jumps to the
"out_free_changed_ns_list" label, but the ctrl->sqs lack of be freed.
Fix this by jumping to the "out_free_sqs" label.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: Return CQE error if invalid lkey was supplied
RXE is missing update of WQE status in LOCAL_WRITE failures. This caused
the following kernel panic if someone sent an atomic operation with an
explicitly wrong lkey.

API qedf_link_update() is getting called from QED but by that time
shost_data is not initialised. This results in a NULL pointer dereference
when we try to dereference shost_data while updating supported_speeds.
Add a NULL pointer check before dereferencing shost_data.
