Title
Cisco StarOS Denial of Service Vulnerability
Summary
A vulnerability in the internal packet-processing functionality of the Cisco StarOS operating system running on virtual platforms could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to stop processing traffic, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to a logic error that may occur under specific traffic conditions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a series of crafted packets to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to prevent the targeted service interface from receiving any traffic, which would lead to a DoS condition on the affected interface. The device may have to be manually reloaded to recover from exploitation of this vulnerability.

CVE-2018-5392 (GCVE-0-2018-5392)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2018-08-14 16:00 – Updated: 2024-08-05 05:33

Title
mingw-w64 version 5.0.4 by default produces executables that opt in to ASLR, but are not compatible with ASLR
Summary
mingw-w64 version 5.0.4 by default produces executables that opt in to ASLR, but are not compatible with ASLR. ASLR is an exploit mitigation technique used by modern Windows platforms. For ASLR to function, Windows executables must contain a relocations table. Despite containing the "Dynamic base" PE header, which indicates ASLR compatibility, Windows executables produced by mingw-w64 have the relocations table stripped from them by default. This means that executables produced by mingw-w64 are vulnerable to return-oriented programming (ROP) attacks. Windows executables generated by mingw-w64 claim to be ASLR compatible, but are not. Vulnerabilities in such executables are more easily exploitable as a result.

Details

A local code execution vulnerability exists in the Rockwell Automation Arena®  due to an uninitialized pointer. The flaw is result of improper validation of user-supplied data. If exploited a threat actor can disclose information and execute arbitrary code on the system. To exploit the vulnerability a legitimate user must open a malicious DOE file.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-10-29 03:31 – Updated: 2025-11-04 00:31
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: fix uninitialized pointer free in add_inode_ref()

The add_inode_ref() function does not initialize the "name" struct when it is declared. If any of the following calls to "read_one_inode() returns NULL,

dir = read_one_inode(root, parent_objectid);
if (!dir) {
    ret = -ENOENT;
    goto out;
}

inode = read_one_inode(root, inode_objectid);
if (!inode) {
    ret = -EIO;
    goto out;
}

then "name.name" would be freed on "out" before being initialized.

out: ... kfree(name.name);

This issue was reported by Coverity with CID 1526744.

An issue was discovered in Pure-FTPd 1.0.49. An uninitialized pointer vulnerability has been detected in the diraliases linked list. When the *lookup_alias(const char alias) or print_aliases(void) function is called, they fail to correctly detect the end of the linked list and try to access a non-existent list member. This is related to init_aliases in diraliases.c.
