Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In October 2018
In the Linux kernel before 4.17, a local attacker able to set attributes on an xfs filesystem could make this filesystem non-operational until the next mount by triggering an unchecked error condition during an xfs attribute change, because xfs_attr_shortform_addname in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.c mishandles ATTR_REPLACE operations with conversion of an attr from short to long form.
A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the way MKVToolNix MKVINFO v25.0.0 handles the MKV (matroska) file format. A specially crafted MKV file can cause arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.
The Linux kernel, as used in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.10, allows local users to obtain names of files in which they would not normally be able to access via an overlayfs mount inside of a user namespace.
An issue was discovered in LibTIFF 4.0.9. There is a NULL pointer dereference in the function LZWDecode in the file tif_lzw.c.
There is an out-of-bounds read in fz_run_t3_glyph in fitz/font.c in Artifex MuPDF 1.14.0, as demonstrated by mutool.
An issue was discovered in Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP) through 6.5 Update 4. There is a DDI-VRT-2018-18 Unauthenticated Sensitive Information Disclosure via /gateway/services/EdgeServiceImpl issue.
An issue was discovered in Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP) through 6.5 Update 4. There is a DDI-VRT-2018-20 Unauthenticated Sensitive Information Disclosure via /UDPUpdates/Config/FullUpdateSettings.xml issue.
An issue was discovered in Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP) through 6.5 Update 4. There is a DDI-VRT-2018-19 Unauthenticated XXE in /management/UdpHttpService issue.
An issue was discovered in Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP) through 6.5 Update 4. There is a DDI-VRT-2018-21 Reflected Cross-site Scripting via /authenticationendpoint/domain.jsp issue.
A vulnerability in unit_deserialize of systemd allows an attacker to supply arbitrary state across systemd re-execution via NotifyAccess. This can be used to improperly influence systemd execution and possibly lead to root privilege escalation. Affected releases are systemd versions up to and including 239.
