An issue was discovered in certain configurations of GNOME gnome-shell through 3.36.4. When logging out of an account, the password box from the login dialog reappears with the password still visible. If the user had decided to have the password shown in cleartext at login time, it is then visible for a brief moment upon a logout. (If the password were never shown in cleartext, only the
All CVEs below are against the SecureBoot functionality in GRUB2. We do not ship this as part of Mageia. Therefore, we ship an updated grub2 package to 2.06 for Mageia 8 fixing upstream bugfixes. A flaw was found in grub2, prior to version 2.06. An attacker may use the
Priyank Nigam discovered that HttpComponents Client could misinterpret malformed authority component in a request URI and pick the wrong target host for request execution (CVE-2020-13956). References:
Updated live packages fix security vulnerabilities: Live555 before 2019.08.16 has a Use-After-Free because GenericMediaServer::createNewClientSessionWithId can generate the same client session ID in succession, which is mishandled by the MPEG1or2 and Matroska
Updated PHP packages fix security vulnerabilities: - Fixed bug #81122: SSRF bypass in FILTER_VALIDATE_URL. (CVE-2021-21705) PDO_Firebird: - Fixed bug #76448: Stack buffer overflow in firebird_info_cb.
Updated file-roller package fixes security vulnerability: A path traversal vulnerability was found in file-roller due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-11736. It may still be possible to extract files outside of the intended directory in case of malicious archives
Updated busybox packages fix security vulnerability: decompress_gunzip.c in BusyBox through 1.32.1 mishandles the error bit on the huft_build result pointer, with a resultant invalid free or segmentation fault, via malformed gzip data (CVE-2021-28831).
A flaw was found in NetworkManager in versions before 1.30.0. Setting match.path and activating a profile crashes NetworkManager. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-20297)
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).
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
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).
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
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).
In SQLite 3.31.1, isAuxiliaryVtabOperator allows attackers to trigger a NULL pointer dereference and segmentation fault because of generated column optimizations (CVE-2020-9327). SQLite through 3.31.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service
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).
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
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
re2c before 2.0 has uncontrolled recursion that causes stack consumption in find_fixed_tags (CVE-2018-21232). References: - https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26549
For java-1.8.0 ## Security fixes - JDK-8227467: Better class method invocations - JDK-8244473: Contextualize registration for JNDI - JDK-8244543: Enhanced handling of abstract classes
An issue was discovered in TrouSerS through 0.3.14. If the tcsd daemon is started with root privileges instead of by the tss user, it fails to drop the root gid privilege when no longer needed (CVE-2020-24330). An issue was discovered in TrouSerS through 0.3.14. If the tcsd daemon is started
