Improper Link Resolution Before File Access

When gfilereplace is used with GFILECREATEREPLACEDESTINATION to replace a path that is a dangling symlink, it incorrectly also creates the target of the symlink as an empty file, which could conceivably have security relevance if the symlink is attacker-controlled...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

tiff is vulnerable to denial of service DoS. The vulnerability exists as a pcretest load test PoC produces a crash overflow in the function match in pcreexec.c because of a self-recursive call. NOTE: third parties dispute the relevance of this report, noting that there are options that can be use...

Default configuration

iproute2 before 5.1.0 has a use-after-free in getnetnsidfromname in ip/ipnetns.c. NOTE: security relevance may be limited to certain uses of setuid that, although not a default, are sometimes a configuration option offered to end users. Even when setuid is used, other factors such as C library...

CVE-2019-20795

CVE-2019-20795 affects iproute2 up to version 5.0.x, with a use-after-free in get_netnsid_from_name() (ip/ipnetns.c). The issue is triggered in the net namespace handling and is the likely root cause of a local-use-after-free condition. The CVE describes the vulnerability as a use-after-free in g...

CVE-2020-6750

GSocketClient in GNOME GLib through 2.62.4 may occasionally connect directly to a target address instead of connecting via a proxy server when configured to do so, because the proxyaddr field is mishandled. This bug is timing-dependent and may occur only sporadically depending on network delays...

Design/Logic Flaw

An issue was discovered in writetptentry in drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb4/mem.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.2. The cxgb4 driver is directly calling dmamapsingle a DMA function from a stack variable. This could allow an attacker to trigger a Denial of Service, exploitable if this driver is used ...
