Ubuntu 14.04 LTS : NSS vulnerability (USN-2361-1)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2361-1 advisory. Antoine Delignat-Lavaud and others discovered that NSS incorrectly handled parsing ASN.1 values. An attacker could use this issue to forge RSA certificates. Tenab...

NSS: Signature forgery attack

Antoine Delignat-Lavaud, security researcher at Inria Paris in team Prosecco, reported an issue in Network Security Services NSS libraries affecting all versions. He discovered that NSS is vulnerable to a variant of a signature forgery attack previously published by Daniel Bleichenbacher. This is...

NSS -- RSA Signature Forgery

The Mozilla Project reports: Antoine Delignat-Lavaud discovered that NSS is vulnerable to a variant of a signature forgery attack previously published by Daniel Bleichenbacher. This is due to lenient parsing of ASN.1 values involved in a signature and could lead to the forging of RSA certificates...

CVE-2014-4388

IOKit in Apple iOS before 8 and Apple TV before 7 does not properly validate IODataQueue object metadata, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via an application that provides crafted values in unspecified metadata fields, a different vulnerability than...

(Plone): Partial denial of service through internal function

It was discovered that Plone, included as a part of luci, did not properly handle the processing of very large values passed to an internal utility function. A remote attacker could use a specially crafted URL that, when processed, would lead to excessive memory consumption...

rubygem-kafo: temporary file creation vulnerability when creating /tmp/default_values.yaml

Kafo before 0.3.17 and 0.4.x before 0.5.2, as used by Foreman, uses world-readable permissions for defaultvalues.yaml, which allows local users to obtain passwords and other sensitive information by reading the file...

rubygem-activerecord: Strong Parameter bypass with create_with

It was discovered that Active Record's createwith method failed to properly check attributes passed to it. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to bypass the strong parameter protection and modify arbitrary model attributes via mass assignment if an application using Active Record calle...

Data Injection Vulnerability in Active Record

The createwith functionality in Active Record was implemented incorrectly and completely bypasses the strong parameters protection. Applications which pass user-controlled values to createwith could allow attackers to set arbitrary attributes on models...

DEBIAN-CVE-2014-3506

d1both.c in the DTLS implementation in OpenSSL 0.9.8 before 0.9.8zb, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0n, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1i allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service memory consumption via crafted DTLS handshake messages that trigger memory allocations corresponding to large length values...

Design/Logic Flaw

d1both.c in the DTLS implementation in OpenSSL 0.9.8 before 0.9.8zb, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0n, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1i allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service memory consumption via crafted DTLS handshake messages that trigger memory allocations corresponding to large length values...

OpenJDK: InfoBuilder incorrect return values (Serviceability, 8033301)

nss: Do not allow p-1 as a public DH value (MFSA 2014-12)

It was found that NSS accepted weak Diffie-Hellman Key exchange DHKE parameters. This could possibly lead to weak encryption being used in communication between the client and the server...

qemu: usb: insufficient sanity checking of setup_index+setup_len in post_load

The usbdevicepostload function in hw/usb/bus.c in QEMU before 1.7.2 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted savevm image, related to a negative setuplen or setupindex value...

USN-2288-1: Linux kernel (Trusty HWE) vulnerabilities

Sasha Levin reported a flaw in the Linux kernel's point-to-point protocol PPP when used with the Layer Two Tunneling Protocol L2TP. A local user could exploit this flaw to gain administrative privileges. CVE-2014-4943 Salva Peiró discovered an information leak in the Linux kernel's media- device...

Sasha Levin reported a flaw in the Linux kernel's point-to-point protocol PPP when used with the Layer Two Tunneling Protocol L2TP. A local user could exploit this flaw to gain administrative privileges. CVE-2014-4943 An flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's audit subsystem when auditing...

Microsoft Passwords Research on Re-Use

Forget what you’ve been told about password re-use and weak credentials. If we’re to believe collaborating researchers from Microsoft and Carelton University, neither is such a bad idea. Flying in the face of conventional pleading from experts that “password” is a bad password, new research puts...
