As we are nearing the end of 2022, looking at the most concerning threats of this turbulent year in terms of testing numbers offers a threat-based perspective on what triggers cybersecurity teams to check how vulnerable they are to specific threats. These are the threats that were most tested to validate resilience with the Cymulate security posture management platform between January 1st and

Intelbras WiFiber 120AC inMesh before 1-1-220826 allows command injection by authenticated users, as demonstrated by the /boaform/formPing6 and /boaform/formTracert URIs for ping and traceroute.

enlightenment_sys in Enlightenment before 0.25.4 allows local users to gain privileges because it is setuid root, and the system library function mishandles pathnames that begin with a /dev/.. substring.

Snipe-IT through 6.0.14 allows attackers to check whether a user account exists because of response variations in a /password/reset request.

Hello everyone! This episode will be about Microsoft Patch Tuesday for December 2022, including vulnerabilities that were added between November and December Patch Tuesdays. As usual, I use my open source Vulristics project to analyse and prioritize vulnerabilities. Alternative video link (for Russia): https://vk.com/video-149273431_456239112 But let’s start with an older vulnerability. This will be another example why […]

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.10.x before 5.10.155. A use-after-free in io_sqpoll_wait_sq in fs/io_uring.c allows an attacker to crash the kernel, resulting in denial of service. finish_wait can be skipped. An attack can occur in some situations by forking a process and then quickly terminating it. NOTE: later kernel versions, such as the 5.15 longterm series, substantially changed the implementation of io_sqpoll_wait_sq.

An issue was discovered in ksmbd in the Linux kernel before 5.19.2. There is an out-of-bounds read and OOPS for SMB2_WRITE, when there is a large length in the zero DataOffset case.

An issue was discovered in ksmbd in the Linux kernel before 5.18.18. fs/ksmbd/smb2pdu.c lacks length validation in the non-padding case in smb2_write.

An issue was discovered in ksmbd in the Linux kernel before 5.19.2. There is a heap-based buffer overflow in set_ntacl_dacl, related to use of SMB2_QUERY_INFO_HE after a malformed SMB2_SET_INFO_HE command.

An issue was discovered in ksmbd in the Linux kernel before 5.19.2. fs/ksmbd/smb2pdu.c omits a kfree call in certain smb2_handle_negotiate error conditions, aka a memory leak.
