Design/Logic Flaw

In Rust time crate from version 0.2.7 and before version 0.2.23, unix-like operating systems may segfault due to dereferencing a dangling pointer in specific circumstances. This requires the user to set any environment variable in a different thread than the affected functions. The affected...

CVE-2020-26235

CVE-2020-26235 affects the Rust time crate: versions 0.2.7 through before 0.2.23 can segfault on unix-like OSes when an environment variable is set from another thread, due to a dangling pointer dereference. Affected functions include time::UtcOffset::local_offset_at, try_local_offset_at, current...

jetty: local temporary directory hijacking vulnerability

In Eclipse Jetty versions 1.0 thru 9.4.32.v20200930, 10.0.0.alpha1 thru 10.0.0.beta2, and 11.0.0.alpha1 thru 11.0.0.beta2O, on Unix like systems, the system's temporary directory is shared between all users on that system. A collocated user can observe the process of creating a temporary sub...

Potential segfault in the time crate

Impact The affected functions set environment variables without synchronization. On Unix-like operating systems, this can crash in multithreaded programs. Programs may segfault due to dereferencing a dangling pointer if an environment variable is read in a different thread than the affected...

Friday Squid Blogging: Underwater Robot Uses Squid-Like Propulsion

This is neat: By generating powerful streams of water, UCSDs squid-like robot can swim untethered. The "squidbot" carries its own power source, and has the room to hold more, including a sensor or camera for underwater exploration. As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the...

Potential segfault in `localtime_r` invocations

Impact Unix-like operating systems may segfault due to dereferencing a dangling pointer in specific circumstances. This requires an environment variable to be set in a different thread than the affected functions. This may occur without the user's knowledge, notably in a third-party library...

x86 PV guest INVLPG-like flushes may leave stale TLB entries

ISSUE DESCRIPTION x86 PV guest kernels may use hypercalls with INVLPG-like behavior to invalidate TLB entries even after changes to non-leaf page tables. Such changes to non-leaf page tables will, however, also render stale possible TLB entries created by Xen's internal use of linear page tables ...
