GNU Wget FTP Symlink Arbitrary Filesystem Access

This module exploits a vulnerability in Wget when used in recursive -r mode with a FTP server as a destination. A symlink is used to allow arbitrary writes to the target's filesystem. To specify content for the file, use the "file:/path" syntax for the TARGETDATA option. Tested successfully with...

Out-of-bounds read/write through neutering ArrayBuffer objects — Mozilla

Security researcher Jüri Aedla, via TippingPoint's Pwn2Own contest, reported that TypedArrayObject does not handle the case where ArrayBuffer objects are neutered, setting their length to zero while still in use. This leads to out-of-bounds reads and writes into the JavaScript heap, allowing for...
