Cisco Talos has observed a widespread and ongoing financial theft SMS phishing (smishing) campaign since October 2024 that targets toll road users in the United States of America.

The internal `Channel` type's `Drop` method has a race which could, in some circumstances, lead to a double-free. This could result in memory corruption. Quoting from the [upstream description in merge request \#1187](https://github.com/crossbeam-rs/crossbeam/pull/1187#issue-2980761131): > The problem lies in the fact that `dicard_all_messages` contained two paths that could lead to `head.block` being read but only one of them would swap the value. This meant that `dicard_all_messages` could end up observing a non-null block pointer (and therefore attempting to free it) without setting `head.block` to null. This would then lead to `Channel::drop` making a second attempt at dropping the same pointer. The bug was introduced while fixing a memory leak, in upstream [MR \#1084](https://github.com/crossbeam-rs/crossbeam/pull/1084), first published in 0.5.12. The fix is in upstream [MR \#1187](https://github.com/crossbeam-rs/crossbeam/pull/1187) and has been published in 0.5.15

A Helm contributor discovered that a specially crafted JSON Schema within a chart can lead to a stack overflow. ### Impact A JSON Schema file within a chart can be crafted with a deeply nested chain of references, leading to parser recursion that can exceed the stack size limit and trigger a stack overflow. ### Patches This issue has been resolved in Helm v3.17.3. ### Workarounds Ensure that the JSON Schema within any charts loaded by Helm does not have a large number of nested references. These JSON Schema files are larger than 10 MiB. ### For more information Helm's security policy is spelled out in detail in our [SECURITY](https://github.com/helm/community/blob/master/SECURITY.md) document. ### Credits Disclosed by Jakub Ciolek at AlphaSense.

A Helm contributor discovered that a specially crafted chart archive file can cause Helm to use all available memory and have an out of memory (OOM) termination. ### Impact A chart archive file can be crafted in a manner where it expands to be significantly larger uncompressed than compressed (e.g., >800x difference). When Helm loads this specially crafted chart, memory can be exhausted causing the application to terminate. ### Patches This issue has been resolved in Helm v3.17.3. ### Workarounds Ensure that any chart archive files being loaded by Helm do not contain files that are large enough to cause the Helm Client or SDK to use up available memory leading to a termination. ### For more information Helm's security policy is spelled out in detail in our [SECURITY](https://github.com/helm/community/blob/master/SECURITY.md) document. ### Credits Disclosed by Jakub Ciolek at AlphaSense.

A report from Edinburgh University warns that child abusers are using dating apps to find single parents with vulnerable children.

Threat actors are continuing to upload malicious packages to the npm registry so as to tamper with already-installed local versions of legitimate libraries to execute malicious code in what's seen as a sneakier attempt to stage a software supply chain attack. The newly discovered package, named pdf-to-office, masquerades as a utility for converting PDF files to Microsoft Word documents. But, in

### Impact This security advisory resolves a vulnerability in the RichText field type. By entering a maliciously crafted input into the RichText XML, an attacker could perform an attack using XML external entity (XXE) injection, which might be able to read files on the server. To exploit this vulnerability the attacker would need to already have edit permission to content with RichText fields, which typically means Editor role or higher. The fix removes unsafe elements from XML code, while preserving safe elements. If you have a stored XXE attack in your content drafts, the fix prevents it from extracting data both during editing and preview. However, if such an attack has already been published and the result is stored in the content, it is unfortunately not possible to detect and remove it by automatic means. ### Credits This vulnerability was discovered and reported to Ibexa by Dennis Henke, Thorsten Niephaus, Marat Aytuganov, and Stephan Sekula of [Compass Security Deutschland Gm...
