Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In August 2024
The Smart Online Order for Clover plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on several functions in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.6. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update product and category descriptions, category titles and images, and sort order.
The Smart Online Order for Clover plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized loss of data due to a missing capability check on the 'moo_deactivateAndClean' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.6. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to deactivate the plugin and drop all plugin tables from the database.
The Event Espresso 4 Decaf – Event Registration Event Ticketing plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to limited unauthorized plugin settings modification due to a missing capability check on the saveTimezoneString and some other functions in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.22.decaf. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to modify some of the plugin settings.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the component /index/index.html of YZNCMS v1.4.2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the configured remarks text field.
Dell SupportAssist for Home PCs Installer exe version 4.0.3 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the installer. A local low-privileged authenticated attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to the execution of arbitrary executables on the operating system with elevated privileges.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exec: Fix ToCToU between perm check and set-uid/gid usage
When opening a file for exec via do_filp_open(), permission checking is
done against the file's metadata at that moment, and on success, a file
pointer is passed back. Much later in the execve() code path, the file
metadata (specifically mode, uid, and gid) is used to determine if/how
to set the uid and gid. However, those values may have changed since the
permissions check, meaning the execution may gain unintended privileges.
For example, if a file could change permissions from executable and not
set-id:
---------x 1 root root 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
to set-id and non-executable:
---S------ 1 root root 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
it is possible to gain root privileges when execution should have been
disallowed.
While this race condition is rare in real-world scenarios, it has been
observed (and proven exploitable) when package managers are updating
the setuid bits of installed programs. Such files start with being
world-executable but then are adjusted to be group-exec with a set-uid
bit. For example, "chmod o-x,u+s target" makes "target" executable only
by uid "root" and gid "cdrom", while also becoming setuid-root:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root cdrom 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
becomes:
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root cdrom 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target
But racing the chmod means users without group "cdrom" membership can
get the permission to execute "target" just before the chmod, and when
the chmod finishes, the exec reaches brpm_fill_uid(), and performs the
setuid to root, violating the expressed authorization of "only cdrom
group members can setuid to root".
Re-check that we still have execute permissions in case the metadata
has changed. It would be better to keep a copy from the perm-check time,
but until we can do that refactoring, the least-bad option is to do a
full inode_permission() call (under inode lock). It is understood that
this is safe against dead-locks, but hardly optimal.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
devres: Fix memory leakage caused by driver API devm_free_percpu()
It will cause memory leakage when use driver API devm_free_percpu()
to free memory allocated by devm_alloc_percpu(), fixed by using
devres_release() instead of devres_destroy() within devm_free_percpu().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/hns: Fix soft lockup under heavy CEQE load
CEQEs are handled in interrupt handler currently. This may cause the
CPU core staying in interrupt context too long and lead to soft lockup
under heavy load.
Handle CEQEs in BH workqueue and set an upper limit for the number of
CEQE handled by a single call of work handler.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost/vsock: always initialize seqpacket_allow
There are two issues around seqpacket_allow:
1. seqpacket_allow is not initialized when socket is
created. Thus if features are never set, it will be
read uninitialized.
2. if VIRTIO_VSOCK_F_SEQPACKET is set and then cleared,
then seqpacket_allow will not be cleared appropriately
(existing apps I know about don't usually do this but
it's legal and there's no way to be sure no one relies
on this).
To fix:
- initialize seqpacket_allow after allocation
- set it unconditionally in set_features
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: ccp - Fix null pointer dereference in __sev_snp_shutdown_locked
Fix a null pointer dereference induced by DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE.
Return from __sev_snp_shutdown_locked() if the psp_device or the
sev_device structs are not initialized. Without the fix, the driver will
produce the following splat:
ccp 0000:55:00.5: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
ccp 0000:55:00.5: sev enabled
ccp 0000:55:00.5: psp enabled
