Title
uutils coreutils mknod Security Label Inconsistency and Broken Cleanup on SELinux Systems
Summary
The mknod utility in uutils coreutils fails to handle security labels atomically by creating device nodes before setting the SELinux context. If labeling fails, the utility attempts cleanup using std::fs::remove_dir, which cannot remove device nodes or FIFOs. This leaves mislabeled nodes behind with incorrect default contexts, potentially allowing unauthorized access to device nodes that should have been restricted by mandatory access controls.

Title
Snipe-IT: Privilege Escalation via API Permissions Assignment
Summary
Snipe-IT is an IT asset/license management system. Prior to 8.4.1, aAn authenticated user with only users.edit permission can escalate their own privileges to admin by sending a PATCH request to /api/v1/users/{id} with permissions[admin]=1. The API controller only strips the superuser key from the permissions array, allowing admin and all other permission keys to be set by any user who can update users. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.4.1.
