The External Control API in Roku and Roku TV products allow unauthorized access via a DNS Rebind attack. This can result in remote device control and privileged device and network information to be exfiltrated by an attacker.

An update for kernel-alt is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.The kernel-alt packages provide the Linux kernel version 4.x. Security Fix(es): * An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of Load & Store instructions (a commonly used performance optimization). It relies on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as the fact that memory read from address to which a recent memory write has occurred may see an older value and subsequently cause an update into the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively executed instructions that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an unpriv...

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Self-extracting archive files created by IExpress bundled with Microsoft Windows allows an attacker to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.

Today we’re announcing a change to the Mitigation Bypass Bounty that removes Control Flow Guard (CFG) from the set of in-scope mitigations. In this blog, we’ll provide additional background and explain why we’re making this change. Mitigation Bypass Bounty Background Mitigation Bypass Bounty Background Microsoft started the Mitigation Bypass Bounty in 2013 with the goal of helping us improve key defense-in-depth mitigation technologies by learning about bypasses.

The vlc_demux_chained_Delete function in input/demux_chained.c in VideoLAN VLC media player 3.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap corruption and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted .swf file.

In January, 2018, Microsoft published an advisory and security updates for a new class of hardware vulnerabilities involving speculative execution side channels (known as Spectre and Meltdown). In this blog post, we will provide a technical analysis of an additional subclass of speculative execution side channel vulnerability known as Speculative Store Bypass (SSB) which has been assigned CVE-2018-3639.
