By Deeba Ahmed The database injection against WordPress websites features two different malware embedded together to achieve two entirely different goals. This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: Database Malware Strikes Hundreds of Vulnerable WordPress Sites

The Login with Phone Number WordPress Plugin, version < 1.4.2, is affected by an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the 'ID' parameter of its 'lwp_forgot_password' action.

The Survey Maker WordPress Plugin, version < 3.1.2, is affected by an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the 'surveys_ids' parameter of its 'ays_surveys_export_json' action.

A privilege escalation vulnerability was identified in Nessus versions 8.10.1 through 8.15.8 and 10.0.0 through 10.4.1. An authenticated attacker could potentially execute a specially crafted file to obtain root or NT AUTHORITY / SYSTEM privileges on the Nessus host.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered across Common Desktop Environment version 1.6, Motif version 2.1, and X.Org libXpm versions prior to 3.5.15 on Oracle Solaris 10 that can be chained together to achieve root.

OpenText Extended ECM versions 20.4 through 22.3 suffer from a pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability in cs.exe.

wolfSSL versions prior to 5.5.2 suffer from a heap buffer over-read with WOLFSSL_CALLBACKS and can be triggered with a single Client Hello message.

In wolfSSL version 5.3.0, man-in-the-middle attackers or a malicious server can crash TLS 1.2 clients during a handshake. If an attacker injects a large ticket (above 256 bytes) into a NewSessionTicket message in a TLS 1.2 handshake, and the client has a non-empty session cache, the session cache frees a pointer which points to non-allocated memory, causing the client to crash with a “free(): invalid pointer”. Note: It is likely that this is also exploitable in TLS 1.3 handshakes between a client and a malicious server. With TLS 1.3 it is not possible to exploit this as a man-in-the-middle. This bug was discovered using the novel symbolic-model-guided fuzzer tlspuffin.

wolfSSL versions prior to 5.5.0 suffer from a denial of service condition related to session resumption. When a TLS 1.3 client connects to a wolfSSL server and SSL_clear is called on its session, the server crashes with a segmentation fault. The bug occurs after a client performs a handshake against a wolfSSL server and then closes the connection. If the server reuses the previous session structure (struct WOLFSSL) by calling wolfSSL_clear(WOLFSSL* ssl) on it, the next received Client Hello, which resumes the previous session, crashes the server. Note, that this bug only exists in resumed handshakes using TLS session resumption. This bug was discovered using the novel symbolic-model-guided fuzzer tlspuffin.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2023-0264-01 - An update for Logging Subsystem (5.6.0) is now available for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. Issues addressed include a denial of service vulnerability.
