Kofax Power PDF app response Out-Of-Bounds Read Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Kofax Power PDF. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the app.response method. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-22588.

Kofax Power PDF PDF File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Kofax Power PDF. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of PDF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-22925.

Kofax Power PDF PDF File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Kofax Power PDF. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of PDF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-22926.

Kofax Power PDF PDF File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Kofax Power PDF. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of PDF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-22929.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: avoid allocating blocks from corrupted group in ext4_mb_find_by_goal()
Places the logic for checking if the group's block bitmap is corrupt under
the protection of the group lock to avoid allocating blocks from the group
with a corrupted block bitmap.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: avoid allocating blocks from corrupted group in ext4_mb_try_best_found()
Determine if the group block bitmap is corrupted before using ac_b_ex in
ext4_mb_try_best_found() to avoid allocating blocks from a group with a
corrupted block bitmap in the following concurrency and making the
situation worse.
ext4_mb_regular_allocator
ext4_lock_group(sb, group)
ext4_mb_good_group
// check if the group bbitmap is corrupted
ext4_mb_complex_scan_group
// Scan group gets ac_b_ex but doesn't use it
ext4_unlock_group(sb, group)
ext4_mark_group_bitmap_corrupted(group)
// The block bitmap was corrupted during
// the group unlock gap.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: avoid dividing by 0 in mb_update_avg_fragment_size() when block bitmap corrupt
Determine if bb_fragments is 0 instead of determining bb_free to eliminate
the risk of dividing by zero when the block bitmap is corrupted.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
aoe: avoid potential deadlock at set_capacity
Move set_capacity() outside of the section procected by (&d->lock).
To avoid possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
[1] lock(&bdev->bd_size_lock);
local_irq_disable();
[2] lock(&d->lock);
[3] lock(&bdev->bd_size_lock);
<Interrupt>
[4] lock(&d->lock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
Where [1](&bdev->bd_size_lock) hold by zram_add()->set_capacity().
[2]lock(&d->lock) hold by aoeblk_gdalloc(). And aoeblk_gdalloc()
is trying to acquire [3](&bdev->bd_size_lock) at set_capacity() call.
In this situation an attempt to acquire [4]lock(&d->lock) from
aoecmd_cfg_rsp() will lead to deadlock.
So the simplest solution is breaking lock dependency
[2](&d->lock) -> [3](&bdev->bd_size_lock) by moving set_capacity()
outside.
