Bludit version 3-14-1 suffers from a remote shell upload vulnerability.

A ReDoS issue was discovered in the Time component through 0.2.1 in Ruby through 3.2.1. The Time parser mishandles invalid URLs that have specific characters. It causes an increase in execution time for parsing strings to Time objects. The fixed versions are 0.1.1 and 0.2.2.

A flaw use after free in the Linux kernel Xircom 16-bit PCMCIA (PC-card) Ethernet driver was found.A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

### Summary An unsafe extraction is being performed using `tarfile.extractall()` from a remotely retrieved tarball. Which may lead to the writing of the extracted files to an unintended location. Sometimes, the vulnerability is called a TarSlip or a ZipSlip variant. ### Details I commented the following snippet of code as a vulnerability details. The code is from [file.py#L26..L134](https://github.com/mindsdb/mindsdb/blob/afedd37c16e579b6dc075b0814e42d0505ccdc07/mindsdb/api/http/namespaces/file.py#L26..L134) ```python @ns_conf.route('/<name>') @ns_conf.param('name', "MindsDB's name for file") class File(Resource): @ns_conf.doc('put_file') def put(self, name: str): ''' add new file params in FormData: - file - original_file_name [optional] ''' data = {} ... omitted for brevity url = data['source'] data['file'] = data['name'] ... omitted for brevity ...

A flaw was found in X.Org Server Overlay Window. A Use-After-Free may lead to local privilege escalation. If a client explicitly destroys the compositor overlay window (aka COW), the Xserver would leave a dangling pointer to that window in the CompScreen structure, which will trigger a use-after-free later.

A double-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s TUN/TAP device driver functionality in how a user registers the device when the register_netdevice function fails (NETDEV_REGISTER notifier). This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

### Impact It was found that AppArmor, and potentially SELinux, can be bypassed when `/proc` inside the container is symlinked with a specific mount configuration. ### Patches Fixed in runc v1.1.5, by prohibiting symlinked `/proc`: https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/pull/3785 This PR fixes CVE-2023-27561 as well. ### Workarounds Avoid using an untrusted container image.
