Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In April 2017
The _checkPolkitPrivilege function in serviceHelper.py in Back In Time (aka backintime) 1.1.18 and earlier uses a deprecated polkit authorization method (unix-process) that is subject to a race condition (time of check, time of use). With this authorization method, the owner of a process requesting a polkit operation is checked by polkitd via /proc/<pid>/status, by which time the requesting process may have been replaced by a different process with the same PID that has different privileges then the original requester.
A command injection vulnerability was discovered on the Zyxel EMG2926 home router with firmware V1.00(AAQT.4)b8. The vulnerability is located in the diagnostic tools, specifically the nslookup function. A malicious user may exploit numerous vectors to execute arbitrary commands on the router, such as the ping_ip parameter to the expert/maintenance/diagnostic/nslookup URI.
In vBulletin before 5.3.0, remote attackers can bypass the CVE-2016-6483 patch and conduct SSRF attacks by leveraging the behavior of the PHP parse_url function, aka VBV-17037.
public/rolechangeadmin in Faveo 1.9.3 allows CSRF. The impact is obtaining admin privileges.
MyBB before 1.8.11 allows remote attackers to bypass an SSRF protection mechanism.
In ARM Trusted Firmware 1.2 and 1.3, a malformed firmware update SMC can result in copying unexpectedly large data into secure memory because of integer overflows. This affects certain cases involving execution of both AArch64 Generic Trusted Firmware (TF) BL1 code and other firmware update code.
Little Snitch version 3.0 through 3.7.3 suffer from a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the installer part. The vulnerability is related to the installation of the configuration file "at.obdev.littlesnitchd.plist" which gets installed to /Library/LaunchDaemons.
The Spiceworks TFTP Server, as distributed with Spiceworks Inventory 7.5, allows remote attackers to access the Spiceworks data\configurations directory by leveraging the unauthenticated nature of the TFTP service for all clients who can reach UDP port 69, as demonstrated by a WRQ (aka Write request) operation for a configuration file or an executable file.
Splunk Hadoop Connect App has a path traversal vulnerability that allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code, aka ERP-2041.
F5 SSL Intercept iApp version 1.5.0 - 1.5.7 is vulnerable to an unauthenticated, remote attack that may allow modification of the BIG-IP system configuration, extraction of sensitive system files, and possible remote command execution on the system when deployed using the Explicit Proxy feature plus SNAT Auto Map option for egress traffic.
