SMBleed: A New Critical Vulnerability Affects Windows SMB Protocol

Cybersecurity researchers today uncovered a new critical vulnerability affecting the Server Message Block SMB protocol that could allow attackers to leak kernel memory remotely, and when combined with a previously disclosed "wormable" bug, the flaw can be exploited to achieve remote code executio...

PT-2020-2747

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Windows versions prior to the fixed version Description The issue is related to errors in handling objects in memory in the Microsoft Server Message Block 3.1.1 SMBv3 protocol. This can allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized...

UBUNTU-CVE-2020-12656

gssmechfree in net/sunrpc/authgss/gssmechswitch.c in the rpcsecgsskrb5 implementation in the Linux kernel through 5.6.10 lacks certain domainrelease calls, leading to a memory leak. Note: This was disputed with the assertion that the issue does not grant any access not already available. It is a...

CVE-2020-1625

The kernel memory usage represented as "temp" via 'show system virtual-memory' may constantly increase when Integrated Routing and Bridging IRB is configured with multiple underlay physical interfaces, and one interface flaps. This memory leak can affect running daemons processes, leading to an...

CVE-2020-1625 Junos OS: Kernel memory leak in virtual-memory due to interface flaps

The kernel memory usage represented as "temp" via 'show system virtual-memory' may constantly increase when Integrated Routing and Bridging IRB is configured with multiple underlay physical interfaces, and one interface flaps. This memory leak can affect running daemons processes, leading to an...

CVE-2020-1625

CVE-2020-1625 describes a kernel memory leak in Junos OS virtual-memory (temp) when IRB is configured with multiple underlay interfaces and one interface flaps, causing DoS through escalating temp memory usage. Affected Junos OS versions span multiple branches (e.g., 16.1, 17.1, 17.2, 17.3, 17.4,...
