GHSA-ghw8-3xqw-hhcj: Duplicate Advisory: cert-manager ha a potential slowdown / DoS when parsing specially crafted PEM inputs

# Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-r4pg-vg54-wxx4. This link is maintained to preserve external references. # Original Description A flaw was found in the cert-manager package. This flaw allows an attacker who can modify PEM data that the cert-manager reads, for example, in a Secret resource, to use large amounts of CPU in the cert-manager controller pod to effectively create a denial-of-service (DoS) vector for the cert-manager in the cluster.

Europol Dismantles 27 DDoS Attack Platforms Across 15 Nations; Admins Arrested

A global law enforcement operation has failed 27 stresser services that were used to conduct distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and took them offline as part of a multi-year international exercise called PowerOFF. The effort, coordinated by Europol and involving 15 countries, dismantled several booter and stresser websites, including zdstresser.net, orbitalstress.net, and

GHSA-hhfg-fwrw-87w7: sigstore has insufficient validation of integration timestamp during verification

### Summary Versions of sigstore-python newer than 2.0.0 but prior to 3.6.0 perform insufficient validation of the "integration time" present in "v2" and "v3" bundles during the verification flow: the "integration time" is verified *if* a source of signed time (such as an inclusion promise) is present, but is otherwise trusted if no source of signed time is present. This does not affect "v1" bundles, as the "v1" bundle format always requires an inclusion promise. ### Details Sigstore uses signed time to support verification of signatures made against short-lived signing keys. ### Impact The impact and severity of this weakness is *low*, as Sigstore contains multiple other enforcing components that prevent an attacker who modifies the integration timestamp within a bundle from impersonating a valid signature. In particular, an attacker who modifies the integration timestamp can induce a Denial of Service, but in no different manner than already possible with bundle access (e.g. m...

Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS Core Control Services

View CSAF 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CVSS v3 7.8 ATTENTION: Low Attack Complexity Vendor: Schneider Electric Equipment: EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS Core Control Services Vulnerabilities: Out-of-bounds Write, Improper Validation of Array Index, Improper Input Validation 2. RISK EVALUATION Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could lead to a loss of system functionality or unauthorized access to system functions. 3. TECHNICAL DETAILS 3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS Schneider Electric reports that the following products are affected: EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS Core Control Services: Versions 9.8 and prior 3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW 3.2.1 OUT-OF-BOUNDS WRITE CWE-787 An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists that could cause local denial of service, or kernel memory leak when a malicious actor with local user access crafts a script/program using an IOCTL call in the Foxboro.sys driver. CVE-2024-5679 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.1 has been assigned; the CVSS vect...

CVE-2024-49129: Windows Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) Denial of Service Vulnerability

**How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?** An unauthenticated attacker could exploit the vulnerability by connecting to a Remote Desktop server and then sending a malicious http request to the server.

GHSA-c2pc-g5qf-rfrf: league/commonmark's quadratic complexity bugs may lead to a denial of service

### Impact Several polynomial time complexity issues in league/commonmark may lead to unbounded resource exhaustion and subsequent denial of service. Malicious users could trigger that inefficient code with carefully crafted Markdown inputs that are specifically designed to ensure the worst-case performance is reached. Sending multiple such requests in parallel could tie up all available CPU resources and/or PHP-FPM processes, leading to denial of service for legitimate users. ### Patches These vulnerabilities have been patched in version 2.6.0. All users on older versions are highly encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible. ### Workarounds If you cannot upgrade, you may be able to mitigate the issues by: - Setting very low `memory_limit` and `max_execution_time` PHP configurations to prevent runaway resource usage - Implementing rate-limiting, bot protection, or other approaches to reduce the risk of simultaneous bad requests hitting your site - Limiting the size of inputs f...

GHSA-vrjr-p3xp-xx2x: phpMyFAQ Generates an Error Message Containing Sensitive Information if database server is not available

### Summary Exposure of database (ie postgreSQL) server's credential when connection to DB fails. ### Details Exposed database credentials upon misconfig/DoS @ permalink: https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/blob/main/phpmyfaq/src/phpMyFAQ/Setup/Installer.php#L694 ### PoC When postgreSQL server is unreachable, an error would be thrown exposing the credentials of the database. For instance, when "http://<phpmyfaq-instance>:8080/setup/index.php" is hit when the database instance/server is down, then credentials are exposed, for instance: ``` ( ! ) Warning: pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: connection to server at &quot;127.0.0.1&quot;, port 5432 failed: Connection refused Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections? in /var/www/html/src/phpMyFAQ/Database/Pgsql.php on line 78 Call Stack # Time Memory Function Location 1 0.0404 453880 {main}( ) .../index.php:0 2 1.1341 610016 phpMyFAQ\Setup\Installer->startInstall( $setup = ??? ) .../index.php...

GHSA-8498-2h75-472j: Django denial-of-service in django.utils.html.strip_tags()

An issue was discovered in Django 5.1 before 5.1.4, 5.0 before 5.0.10, and 4.2 before 4.2.17. The strip_tags() method and striptags template filter are subject to a potential denial-of-service attack via certain inputs containing large sequences of nested incomplete HTML entities.
