A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. Roger Pau Monné discovered that the Xen paravirtualization frontend in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory pages to be used for shared communication with the backend. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.

Aaron Adams discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle the removal of stateful expressions in some situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. Ziming Zhang discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate sets with multiple ranged fields. It was discovered that the implementation of POSIX timers in the Linux kernel did not properly clean up timers in some situations. Various other vulnerabilities were also discovered.

As threat complexity increases and the boundaries of an organization have all but disappeared, security teams are more challenged than ever to deliver consistent security outcomes. One company aiming to help security teams meet this challenge is Stellar Cyber.  Stellar Cyber claims to address the needs of MSSPs by providing capabilities typically found in NG-SIEM, NDR, and SOAR products in their

Poppler prior to and including 22.08.0 contains an integer overflow in the JBIG2 decoder (JBIG2Stream::readTextRegionSeg() in JBIGStream.cc). Processing a specially crafted PDF file or JBIG2 image could lead to a crash or the execution of arbitrary code. This is similar to the vulnerability described by CVE-2022-38171 in Xpdf.

The Leaflet Maps Marker (Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Bing Maps) WordPress plugin before 3.12.5 does not properly sanitize some parameters before inserting them into SQL queries. As a result, high privilege users could perform SQL injection attacks.

The Stop Spam Comments WordPress plugin through 0.2.1.2 does not properly generate the Javascript access token for preventing abuse of comment section, allowing threat authors to easily collect the value and add it to the request.

The Fluent Support WordPress plugin before 1.5.8 does not properly sanitise, validate and escape various parameters before using them in an SQL statement, leading to an SQL Injection vulnerability exploitable by high privilege users

Low/no-code tools allow citizen developers to design creative solutions to address immediate problems, but without sufficient training and oversight, the technology can make it easy to make security mistakes.

Businesses need to re-evaluate their cyber-insurance policies as firms like Lloyd's of London continue to add restrictions, including excluding losses related to state-backed cyberattackers.
