Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In December 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exfat: fix out-of-bounds access of directory entries
In the case of the directory size is greater than or equal to
the cluster size, if start_clu becomes an EOF cluster(an invalid
cluster) due to file system corruption, then the directory entry
where ei->hint_femp.eidx hint is outside the directory, resulting
in an out-of-bounds access, which may cause further file system
corruption.
This commit adds a check for start_clu, if it is an invalid cluster,
the file or directory will be treated as empty.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: Flush partial mappings in error case
If some remap_pfn_range() calls succeeded before one failed, we still have
buffer pages mapped into the userspace page tables when we drop the buffer
reference with comedi_buf_map_put(bm). The userspace mappings are only
cleaned up later in the mmap error path.
Fix it by explicitly flushing all mappings in our VMA on the error path.
See commit 79a61cc3fc04 ("mm: avoid leaving partial pfn mappings around in
error case").
Authentication Bypass by Assumed-Immutable Data vulnerability in Apache HugeGraph-Server.
This issue affects Apache HugeGraph-Server: from 1.0.0 before 1.5.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.5.0, which fixes the issue.
The Booking Calendar WpDevArt plugin is vulnerable to time-based, blind SQL injection via the `id` parameter in the “wpdevart_booking_calendar” shortcode in versions up to, and including, 3.2.19 due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. The vulnerability requires the “delete_prev_date” theme option being enabled. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access or above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing query that can be used to extract sensitive information such as passwords from the database.
The Responsive Blocks – WordPress Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'responsive-block-editor-addons/portfolio' block in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.
The DirectoryPress – Business Directory And Classified Ad Listing plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.16 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the SVG file. When DirectoryPress Frontend is installed, this can be exploited by unauthenticated users.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/netfront: fix crash when removing device
When removing a netfront device directly after a suspend/resume cycle
it might happen that the queues have not been setup again, causing a
crash during the attempt to stop the queues another time.
Fix that by checking the queues are existing before trying to stop
them.
This is XSA-465 / CVE-2024-53240.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/xen: don't do PV iret hypercall through hypercall page
Instead of jumping to the Xen hypercall page for doing the iret
hypercall, directly code the required sequence in xen-asm.S.
This is done in preparation of no longer using hypercall page at all,
as it has shown to cause problems with speculation mitigations.
This is part of XSA-466 / CVE-2024-53241.
The WP Datepicker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'wpdp_get_selected_datepicker' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
The Exhibit to WP Gallery WordPress plugin through 0.0.2 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as admin.
