The mq_notify function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc) versions 2.32 and 2.33 has a use-after-free. It may use the notification thread attributes object (passed through its struct sigevent parameter) after it has been freed by the caller, leading to a denial of service (application crash) or possibly unspecified other impact (CVE-2021-33574).

Mageia 2021-0307: dhcp security update

A flaw was found in the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). There is a discrepancy between the code that handles encapsulated option information inleases transmitted "on the wire" and the code which reads and parses lease information after it has been written to disk storage. This flaw allows an attacker to deliberately cause a situation where dhcpd while running in DHCPv4

Mageia 2021-0306: thunar security update

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22https://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

An issue was discovered in Thunar before 4.16.7 and 4.17.x before 4.17.2. When called with a regular file as a command-line argument, it delegates to a different program (based on the file type) without user confirmation. This could be used to achieve code execution (CVE-2021-32563).

Mageia 2021-0305: p7zip security update

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22https://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

In p7zip-17.03, the function NCompress::CCopyCoder::Code in CPP/7zip/Common/StreamObjects.cpp will call outStream->Write where a memcpy uses a NULL pointer as destination address, leading to a crash (CVE-2021-3465). Null pointer dereference in function Reserve() found in p7zip 16.02

Mageia 2021-0304: systemd security update

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22https://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

A flaw was found in systemd, where it mishandles numerical usernames beginning with decimal digits, or "0x" followed by hexadecimal digits. When the usernames are used by systemd, for example in service units, an unexpected user may be used instead. In some particular configurations, this flaw allows local attackers to elevate their privileges (CVE-2020-13776).

Mageia 2021-0302: openvpn security update

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22https://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

OpenVPN 2.5.1 and earlier versions allows a remote attackers to bypass authentication and access control channel data on servers configured with deferred authentication, which can be used to potentially trigger further information leaks (CVE-2020-15078).

Mageia 2021-0301: nginx security update

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22https://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

A flaw was found in nginx. An off-by-one error while processing DNS responses allows a network attacker to write a dot character out of bounds in a heap allocated buffer which can allow overwriting the least significant byte of next heap chunk metadata likely leading to a remote code execution in certain circumstances. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data

Mageia 2021-0300: nettle security update

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22https://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

Remote crash in RSA decryption via manipulated ciphertext (CVE-2021-3580). A flaw was found in Nettle in versions before 3.7.2, where several Nettle signature verification functions (GOST DSA, EDDSA & ECDSA) result in the Elliptic Curve Cryptography point (ECC) multiply function being called with
