Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In November 2024
A flaw was found in pdfTeX. Insufficient sanitizing in the TeX notation filter resulted in an arbitrary file read risk on sites where pdfTeX is available, such as those with TeX Live installed.
To address a cache poisoning risk in Moodle, additional validation for local storage was required.
A vulnerability was found in Moodle. Insufficient capability checks made it possible to delete badges that a user does not have permission to access.
The Prime Slider – Addons For Elementor (Revolution of a slider, Hero Slider, Ecommerce Slider) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Blog widget in all versions up to, and including, 3.15.18 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Authenticated Gaia users can inject code or commands by global variables through special HTTP requests. A Security fix that mitigates this vulnerability is available.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock: Update rx_bytes on read_skb()
Make sure virtio_transport_inc_rx_pkt() and virtio_transport_dec_rx_pkt()
calls are balanced (i.e. virtio_vsock_sock::rx_bytes doesn't lie) after
vsock_transport::read_skb().
While here, also inform the peer that we've freed up space and it has more
credit.
Failing to update rx_bytes after packet is dequeued leads to a warning on
SOCK_STREAM recv():
[ 233.396654] rx_queue is empty, but rx_bytes is non-zero
[ 233.396702] WARNING: CPU: 11 PID: 40601 at net/vmw_vsock/virtio_transport_common.c:589
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bcmasp: fix potential memory leak in bcmasp_xmit()
The bcmasp_xmit() returns NETDEV_TX_OK without freeing skb
in case of mapping fails, add dev_kfree_skb() to fix it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: systemport: fix potential memory leak in bcm_sysport_xmit()
The bcm_sysport_xmit() returns NETDEV_TX_OK without freeing skb
in case of dma_map_single() fails, add dev_kfree_skb() to fix it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/bnxt_re: Fix a possible memory leak
In bnxt_re_setup_chip_ctx() when bnxt_qplib_map_db_bar() fails
driver is not freeing the memory allocated for "rdev->chip_ctx".
When using IPAuthenticationProvider in ZooKeeper Admin Server there is a possibility of Authentication Bypass by Spoofing -- this only impacts IP based authentication implemented in ZooKeeper Admin Server. Default configuration of client's IP address detection in IPAuthenticationProvider, which uses HTTP request headers, is weak and allows an attacker to bypass authentication via spoofing client's IP address in request headers. Default configuration honors X-Forwarded-For HTTP header to read client's IP address. X-Forwarded-For request header is mainly used by proxy servers to identify the client and can be easily spoofed by an attacker pretending that the request comes from a different IP address. Admin Server commands, such as snapshot and restore arbitrarily can be executed on successful exploitation which could potentially lead to information leakage or service availability issues. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.9.3, which fixes this issue.
