**Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?** One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.

The most common task facing system administrators is patching infrastructure. It's time consuming, it requires coordination with application teams and stakeholders, and it often must happen in segments over time. These complications make it difficult to maintain environmental consistency, which in turn can lead to instability, performance issues, and more time spent by operations staff. Using Red Hat Insights content templates to patch Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) helps limit the complexity of these activities while also increasing consistency across an IT estate.Define, instruct, and patch

The deal, which builds on LevelBlue’s recent acquisition of Trustwave and Aon, aims to provide customers with a broad portfolio of extended detection and response (XDR), managed detection and response (MDR), and forensic services.

In my 15 years as a software engineer, I’ve seen one truth hold constant: traditional databases are brilliant…

The cyber-espionage group has been using sophisticated custom tools to target government and diplomatic entities in South Asia since early 2025.

### Impact The GeoIP processor in Data Prepper was configured to trust all SSL certificates and disable hostname verification when downloading GeoIP databases from HTTP URLs, making downloads vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. The GeoIP processor included a custom SSL implementation that completely bypassed certificate validation when downloading GeoIP databases from external sources. The `initiateSSL()` method incorrectly implemented an approach for trusting all certificates. Specifically it: * Accepted all SSL certificates without validation * Disabled server certificate verification * Disabled client certificate verification * Disabled hostname verification This configuration made database downloads vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, potentially allowing attackers to serve malicious GeoIP databases that could compromise the integrity of geolocation data processing. ### Patches Data Prepper 2.12.2 contains a fix for this issue. ### Workarounds If upgrading is not ...

### Impact The GeoIP processor and Kafka source and buffer were using the deprecated "SSL" protocol identifier when creating SSL contexts, potentially allowing the use of insecure SSL protocols instead of modern TLS versions. Multiple Data Prepper plugins used `SSLContext.getInstance("SSL")` which could potentially allow the use of deprecated SSL protocols (SSLv2, SSLv3) that have known security vulnerabilities. While modern Java implementations typically default to secure TLS versions even with the "SSL" identifier, explicitly using "TLS" ensures that only secure TLS protocols are negotiated. The affected components were: * GeoIP Processor: The `DBSource.initiateSSL()` method used for downloading GeoIP databases from external sources * Kafka Plugin: Both `CustomClientSslEngineFactory` and `InsecureSslEngineFactory` classes used for Kafka client connections This could potentially allow connections to negotiate weaker SSL protocols instead of enforcing modern TLS versions, reducin...

### Summary The mitigation proposed in GHSA-37j7-fg3j-429f for disabling eval/Function when executing untrusted code in happy-dom does not suffice, since it still allows prototype pollution payloads. ### Details The untrusted script and the rest of the application still run in the same Isolate/process, so attackers can deploy prototype pollution payloads to hijack important references like "process" in the example below, or to hijack control flow via flipping checks of undefined property. There might be other payloads that allow the manipulation of require, e.g., via (univeral) gadgets (https://www.usenix.org/system/files/usenixsecurity23-shcherbakov.pdf). ### PoC Attackers can pollute builtins like Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty() to obtain important references at runtime, e.g., "process". In this way, attackers might be able to execute arbitrary commands like in the example below via spawn(). ```js import { Browser } from "happy-dom"; const browser = new Browser({settings: {enab...
