Updated ceph packages fix security vulnerability on rgw CVE-2021-3524 (as well as CVE-2021-3509 and CVE-2021-3531 from which Mageia was not affected). References: - https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28928 - https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/security/CVE-2021-3524/
The MS-WSP dissector could consume excessive amounts of memory (CVE-2021-22207). References: - https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28915
Buffer overrun from integer overflow in array subscripting calculations (CVE-2021-32027). Memory disclosure in INSERT ... ON CONFLICT ... DO UPDATE. (CVE-2021-32028). Memory disclosure in partitioned-table UPDATE ... RETURNING. (CVE-2021-32029).
A broken inbound incremental zone update (IXFR) can cause named to terminate unexpectedly(CVE-2021-25214). Mageia 7 version not affected. An assertion check can fail while answering queries for DNAME records that require the DNAME to be processed to resolve itself (CVE-2021-25215). This affects both versions. A second vulnerability in BIND's GSSAPI security policy negotiation can be targeted by a buffer overflow attack (CVE-2021-25216). Mageia 7 version not affected.
XLookupColor() and other X libraries function lack proper validation of the length of their string parameters. If those parameters can be controlled by an external application (for instance a color name that can be emitted via a terminal control sequence) it can lead to the emission of extra X protocol requests to the X server
An infinite loop in SMLLexer in Pygments versions 1.5 to 2.7.3 may lead to denial of service when performing syntax highlighting of a Standard ML (SML) source file, as demonstrated by input that only contains the "exception" keyword (CVE-2021-20270). A deadlock vulnerability was found in 'github.com/containers/storage' in versions before 1.28.1. When a container image is processed, each layer is unpacked using `tar`. If one of those layers is not a valid `tar` archive this causes an error leading to an unexpected situation where the code indefinitely waits for the tar unpacked stream, which never finishes. An attacker could use this vulnerability to craft a malicious image, which when downloaded and stored by an application using containers/storage, would then cause a deadlock leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) (CVE-2021-27291). An issue was discovered in MediaWiki before 1.31.13 and 1.32.x through 1.35.x before 1.35.2. When using the MediaWiki API to "protect" a page, a user is currently able to protect to a higher level than they currently have permissions for (CVE-2021-30152).
The updated packages fix security vulnerabilities: Thunderbird stored OpenPGP secret keys without master password protection (CVE-2021-29956).
There is a flaw in the opj2_compress program in openjpeg2. An attacker who is able to submit a large number of image files to be processed in a directory by opj2_compress, could trigger a heap out-of-bounds write due to an integer overflow, which is caused by the large number of image files. The greatest threat posed by this flaw is to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This flaw affects the opj2_compress utility but is not in the openjpeg2 library. Therefore, the attack vector is local to the opj2_compress utility and would require an attacker to convince a user to open a directory with an extremely large number of files using opj2_compress, or a script to be feeding such arbitrary, untrusted files to opj2_compress (CVE-2021-29338).

Some severe exploitable vulnerabilities were discovered and fixed (CVE-2021-2154 and CVE-2021-2166). This is a regular update, which brings the usual improvements in innodb, galera. See upstream advisory.
This update fixes a divide-by-zero crash bug (and probable vulnerability) in interlaced images with extra compressed data beyond the nominal end of the image data. (found by "chiba of topsec alpha lab") (rhbz#1949800). References:
Nagios 4.4.5 allows an attacker, who already has administrative access to change the "URL for JSON CGIs" configuration setting, to modify the Alert Histogram and Trends code via crafted versions of the archivejson.cgi, objectjson.cgi, and statusjson.cgi files (CVE-2020-13977).
Deleting an attachment of a decrypted encrypted message stored on a remote server (e.g. an IMAP server) causes KMail to upload the decrypted content of the message to the remote server. This is not easily noticeable by the user because KMail does not display the decrypted content.
An authentication flaw was found in ceph. When the monitor handles CEPHX_GET_AUTH_SESSION_KEY requests, it doesn't sanitize other_keys, allowing key reuse. An attacker who can request a global_id can exploit the ability of any user to request a global_id previously associated with another user, as ceph does not force the reuse of old keys to generate new
