An issue existed within the path validation logic for symlinks. This issue was addressed with improved path sanitization. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.0.1, iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2, tvOS 14.2, watchOS 7.1. A local attacker may be able to elevate their privileges.

An exploitable use-after-free vulnerability exists in WebKitGTK browser version 2.30.1 x64. A specially crafted HTML web page can cause a use-after-free condition, resulting in a remote code execution. The victim needs to visit a malicious web site to trigger this vulnerability.

A code execution vulnerability exists in the WebSocket functionality of Webkit WebKitGTK 2.30.0. A specially crafted web page can trigger a use-after-free vulnerability which can lead to remote code execution. An attacker can get a user to visit a webpage to trigger this vulnerability.

The SIP ALG implementation on NETGEAR Nighthawk R7000 1.0.9.64_10.2.64 devices allows remote attackers to communicate with arbitrary TCP and UDP services on a victim's intranet machine, if the victim visits an attacker-controlled web site with a modern browser, aka NAT Slipstreaming. This occurs because the ALG takes action based on an IP packet with an initial REGISTER substring in the TCP data, and the correct intranet IP address in the subsequent Via header, without properly considering that connection progress and fragmentation affect the meaning of the packet data.

A trust issue was addressed by removing a legacy API. This issue is fixed in iOS 14.0 and iPadOS 14.0, tvOS 14.0. An attacker may be able to misuse a trust relationship to download malicious content.

An out-of-bounds read was addressed with improved input validation. This issue is fixed in macOS Catalina 10.15.6, tvOS 13.4.8, watchOS 6.2.8. A remote attacker may be able to cause unexpected system termination or corrupt kernel memory.

This issue was addressed by encrypting communications over the network to devices running iOS 14, iPadOS 14, tvOS 14, and watchOS 7. This issue is fixed in iOS 14.0 and iPadOS 14.0, Xcode 12.0. An attacker in a privileged network position may be able to execute arbitrary code on a paired device during a debug session over the network.

An out-of-bounds write issue was addressed with improved bounds checking. This issue is fixed in Safari 14.0. Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to code execution.

Is it possible to get to a state where memory safety issues would be deterministically mitigated? Our quest to mitigate memory corruption vulnerabilities led us to examine CHERI (Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions), which provides memory protection features against many exploited vulnerabilities, or in other words, an architectural solution that breaks exploits.

An issue was discovered in the Elementor plugin through 2.9.13 for WordPress. An authenticated attacker can achieve stored XSS via the Name Your Template field.
