Below is a technical explanation of a newly discovered vulnerability in HTTP/2, which we refer to as “MadeYouReset.” ### MadeYouReset Vulnerability Summary The MadeYouReset DDoS vulnerability is a logical vulnerability in the HTTP/2 protocol, that uses malformed HTTP/2 control frames in order to break the max concurrent streams limit - which results in resource exhaustion and distributed denial of service. ### Mechanism The vulnerability uses malformed HTTP/2 control frames, or malformed flow, in order to make the server reset streams created by the client (using the RST_STREAM frame). The vulnerability could be triggered by several primitives, defined by the RFC of HTTP/2 (RFC 9113). The Primitives are: 1. WINDOW_UPDATE frame with an increment of 0 or an increment that makes the window exceed 2^31 - 1. (section 6.9 + 6.9.1) 2. HEADERS or DATA frames sent on a half-closed (remote) stream (which was closed using the END_STREAM flag). (note that for some implementations it's possible ...

Microsoft’s August Patch Tuesday fixes 107 vulnerabilities, including 13 critical RCE flaws, impacting Windows, Office, Azure, and more,…

### Impact A prototype pollution vulnerability exists in versions 0.5.0 and earlier, wherein if you provide a policy name called `__proto__` you can override the Object prototype. For example: ``` const parse = require('content-security-policy-parser'); const x = parse("default-src 'self'; __proto__ foobar"); console.log('raw print:', x); console.log('toString:', x.toString()); ``` Outputs: ``` raw print: Array { 'default-src': [ "'self'" ] } toString: foobar ``` Whilst no gadget exists in this library, it is possible via other libraries expose functionality that enable RCE. It is customary to label prototype pollution vulnerabilities in this way. The most common effect of this is denial of service, as you can trivially overwrite properties. As the content security policy is provided in HTTP queries, it is incredibly likely that network exploitation is possible. ### Patches There has been a patch implemented a year ago (11 Feb 2024), but low uptake of patched versions has not b...

A resource allocation vulnerability exists in Bouncy Castle for Java (by Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc.) that affects all API modules. The vulnerability allows attackers to cause excessive memory allocation through unbounded resource consumption, potentially leading to denial of service. The issue is located in the ASN1ObjectIdentifier.java file in the core module. This issue affects Bouncy Castle for Java: from BC 1.0 through 1.77, from BC-FJA 1.0.0 through 2.0.0.

A Denial Of Service via File Upload (DOS) vulnerability in Liferay Portal 7.4.3.0 through 7.4.3.132, Liferay DXP 2025.Q1.0 through 2025.Q1.8, 2024.Q4.0 through 2024.Q4.7, 2024.Q3.0 through 2024.Q3.13, 2024.Q2.0 through 2024.Q2.13, 2024.Q1.1 through 2024.Q1.16 and 7.4 GA through update 92 allows a user to upload a profile picture of more than 300kb into a user profile. This size is more than the noted max 300kb size. This extra data can significantly slow down the Liferay service.

Uncontrolled resource consumption in Windows Remote Desktop Services allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network.

Allocation of resources without limits or throttling in Windows DirectX allows an authorized attacker to deny service over a network.

Missing synchronization in Windows Hyper-V allows an authorized attacker to deny service over an adjacent network.

A novel attack technique could be weaponized to rope thousands of public domain controllers (DCs) around the world to create a malicious botnet and use it to conduct power distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. The approach has been codenamed Win-DDoS by SafeBreach researchers Or Yair and Shahak Morag, who presented their findings at the DEF CON 33 security conference today. "As we
