According to the versions of the kernel packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - A flaw was found in the way mremap handled DAX Huge Pages. This flaw allows a local attacker with access to a DAX enabled storage to escalate...

Entropy Backdoor in text-qrcode

All versions of text-qrcode contain malicious code that overwrites the randomBytes method for the crypto module with a function that generates weak entropy. Instead of generating 32 bytes, the infected randomBytes will generate 3 bytes of entropy and hash them, resulting in a 32 byte value being...

Researchers Sound Alarm Over Malicious AWS Community AMIs

Researchers are sounding the alarm over what they say is a growing threat vector tied to Amazon Web Services and its marketplace of pre-configured virtual servers. The danger, according to researchers with Mitiga, is that threat actors can easily build malware-laced Community Amazon Machine Image...

The vulnerability of the vhost-crypto module in the libraries and drivers for fast packet processing in dpdk allows a hacker to gain access to confidential data.

The vulnerability of the vhost-crypto module in the libraries and drivers for fast packet processing in dpdk is related to a numerical overflow condition. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to gain access to confidential data...

CVE-2020-8912

A flaw was found in the AWS S3 Crypto SDK where algorithm parameters for the data encryption key are not authenticated. This flaw allows attackers with S3 bucket write access to change the negotiated encryption algorithm, potentially providing viable brute force methods to recover plaintext. This...

CVE-2020-8911

A flaw was found in the AWS S3 Crypto SDK that allows users to encrypt files stored in S3 buckets with AES-CBC, without computing a MAC on the data. This allows for a padding oracle, enabling attackers with both write access to the target S3 bucket and the ability to observe the result of valid...
