OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In versions 2.4.8 and earlier, when starting the cupsd server with a Listen configuration item pointing to a symbolic link, the cupsd process can be caused to perform an arbitrary chmod of the provided argument, providing world-writable access to the target. Given that cupsd is often running as root, this can result in the change of permission of any user or system files to be world writable. Given the aforementioned Ubuntu AppArmor context, on such systems this vulnerability is limited to those files modifiable by the cupsd process. In that specific case it was found to be possible to turn the configuration of the Listen argument into full control over the cupsd.conf and cups-files.conf configuration files. By later setting the User and Group arguments in cups-files.conf, and printing with a printer configured by PPD with a `FoomaticRIPCommandLine` argument, arbitrary user and group (not root) command execution could be achieved, which can further be used on Ubuntu systems to achieve full root command execution. Commit ff1f8a623e090dee8a8aadf12a6a4b25efac143d contains a patch for the issue.
By manipulating the text in an `<input>` tag, an attacker could have caused corrupt memory leading to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127, Firefox ESR < 115.12, and Thunderbird < 115.12.
By monitoring the time certain operations take, an attacker could have guessed which external protocol handlers were functional on a user's system. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127, Firefox ESR < 115.12, and Thunderbird < 115.12.
An out-of-bounds read in the 'bson' module of PyMongo 4.6.2 or earlier allows deserialization of malformed BSON provided by a Server to raise an exception which may contain arbitrary application memory.
There exists interger overflows in libvpx in versions prior to 1.14.1. Calling vpx_img_alloc() with a large value of the d_w, d_h, or align parameter may result in integer overflows in the calculations of buffer sizes and offsets and some fields of the returned vpx_image_t struct may be invalid. Calling vpx_img_wrap() with a large value of the d_w, d_h, or stride_align parameter may result in integer overflows in the calculations of buffer sizes and offsets and some fields of the returned vpx_image_t struct may be invalid. We recommend upgrading to version 1.14.1 or beyond
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: Fix invalid reads in fence signaled events
Correctly set the length of the drm_event to the size of the structure
that's actually used.
The length of the drm_event was set to the parent structure instead of
to the drm_vmw_event_fence which is supposed to be read. drm_read
uses the length parameter to copy the event to the user space thus
resuling in oob reads.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix a possible memleak in tipc_buf_append
__skb_linearize() doesn't free the skb when it fails, so move
'*buf = NULL' after __skb_linearize(), so that the skb can be
freed on the err path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: core: delete incorrect free in pinctrl_enable()
The "pctldev" struct is allocated in devm_pinctrl_register_and_init().
It's a devm_ managed pointer that is freed by devm_pinctrl_dev_release(),
so freeing it in pinctrl_enable() will lead to a double free.
The devm_pinctrl_dev_release() function frees the pindescs and destroys
the mutex as well.
