Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In November 2021
UploadService in Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics through 9.1 does not properly verify uploaded user files, which allows an authenticated user to upload various files of different file types. Specifically, a .jsp file is not allowed, but a .jsp. file is allowed (and leads to remote code execution).
An issue was discovered in Barrier before 2.4.0. The barriers component (aka the server-side implementation of Barrier) does not sufficiently verify the identify of connecting clients. Clients can thus exploit weaknesses in the provided protocol to cause denial-of-service or stage further attacks that could lead to information leaks or integrity corruption.
An issue was discovered in Barrier before 2.4.0. An attacker can enter an active session state with the barriers component (aka the server-side implementation of Barrier) simply by supplying a client label that identifies a valid client configuration. This label is "Unnamed" by default but could instead be guessed from hostnames or other publicly available information. In the active session state, an attacker can capture input device events from the server, and also modify the clipboard content on the server.
An issue was discovered in Barrier before 2.3.4. An unauthenticated attacker can cause a segmentation fault in the barriers component (aka the server-side implementation of Barrier) by quickly opening and closing TCP connections while sending a Hello message for each TCP session.
An issue was discovered in Barrier before 2.3.4. The barriers component (aka the server-side implementation of Barrier) does not correctly close file descriptors for established TCP connections. An unauthenticated remote attacker can thus cause file descriptor exhaustion in the server process, leading to denial of service.
An issue was discovered in Barrier before 2.3.4. An attacker can cause memory exhaustion in the barriers component (aka the server-side implementation of Barrier) and barrierc by sending long TCP messages.
PHP Event Calendar before 2021-09-03 allows SQL injection, as demonstrated by the /server/ajax/user_manager.php username parameter. This can be used to execute SQL statements directly on the database, allowing an adversary in some cases to completely compromise the database system. It can also be used to bypass the login form.
Apostrophe CMS versions between 2.63.0 to 3.3.1 are vulnerable to Stored XSS where an editor uploads an SVG file that contains malicious JavaScript onto the Images module, which triggers XSS once viewed.
An issue was discovered in GNU Hurd before 0.9 20210404-9. When trying to exec a setuid executable, there's a window of time when the process already has the new privileges, but still refers to the old task and is accessible through the old process port. This can be exploited to get full root access.
An issue was discovered in GNU Hurd before 0.9 20210404-9. libports accepts fake notification messages from any client on any port, which can lead to port use-after-free. This can be exploited for local privilege escalation to get full root access.
