Security Vulnerabilities

In systemd 240, bus_open_system_watch_bind_with_description in shared/bus-util.c (as used by systemd-resolved to connect to the system D-Bus instance), calls sd_bus_set_trusted, which disables access controls for incoming D-Bus messages. An unprivileged user can exploit this by executing D-Bus methods that should be restricted to privileged users, in order to change the system's DNS resolver settings.
AsusPTPFilter.sys on Asus Precision TouchPad 11.0.0.25 hardware has a Pool Overflow associated with the \\.\AsusTP device, leading to a DoS or potentially privilege escalation via a crafted DeviceIoControl call.
A backporting error was discovered in the Linux stable/longterm kernel 4.4.x through 4.4.190, 4.9.x through 4.9.190, 4.14.x through 4.14.141, 4.19.x through 4.19.69, and 5.2.x through 5.2.11. Misuse of the upstream "x86/ptrace: Fix possible spectre-v1 in ptrace_get_debugreg()" commit reintroduced the Spectre vulnerability that it aimed to eliminate. This occurred because the backport process depends on cherry picking specific commits, and because two (correctly ordered) code lines were swapped.
In libexpat before 2.2.8, crafted XML input could fool the parser into changing from DTD parsing to document parsing too early; a consecutive call to XML_GetCurrentLineNumber (or XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber) then resulted in a heap-based buffer over-read.
Nagios Log Server before 2.0.8 allows Reflected XSS via the username on the Login page.
An issue was discovered in Varnish Cache before 6.0.4 LTS, and 6.1.x and 6.2.x before 6.2.1. An HTTP/1 parsing failure allows a remote attacker to trigger an assert by sending crafted HTTP/1 requests. The assert will cause an automatic restart with a clean cache, which makes it a Denial of Service attack.
The Nexus Yum Repository Plugin in v2 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution when instances using CommandLineExecutor.java are supplied vulnerable data, such as the Yum Configuration Capability.
A weakness was found in Encrypt Only boot mode in Zynq UltraScale+ devices. This could lead to an adversary being able to modify the control fields of the boot image leading to an incorrect secure boot behavior.
An unintended require vulnerability in <v0.5.5 larvitbase-api may allow an attacker to load arbitrary non-production code (JavaScript file).
A path traversal vulnerability in <= v0.9.7 of statichttpserver npm module allows attackers to list files in arbitrary folders.
