GHSA-WXJJ-CGCX-R3VQ

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-09-16 22:11 – Updated: 2022-09-19 19:36
VLAI
Summary
TensorFlow vulnerable to `CHECK` failures in `AvgPool3DGrad`
Details

Impact

The implementation of AvgPool3DGradOp does not fully validate the input orig_input_shape. This results in an overflow that results in a CHECK failure which can be used to trigger a denial of service attack:

import tensorflow as tf

ksize = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
strides = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
padding = "SAME"
data_format = "NDHWC"
orig_input_shape = tf.constant(1879048192, shape=[5], dtype=tf.int32)
grad = tf.constant(1, shape=[1,3,2,4,2], dtype=tf.float32)
tf.raw_ops.AvgPool3DGrad(orig_input_shape=orig_input_shape, grad=grad, ksize=ksize, strides=strides, padding=padding, data_format=data_format)

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 9178ac9d6389bdc54638ab913ea0e419234d14eb.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.9.1, TensorFlow 2.8.1, and TensorFlow 2.7.2, as these are also affected and still in supported range.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-22 15:31 – Updated: 2026-07-22 15:31
VLAI
Details

In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.22.0 up to and including 1.25.1, in DNS-over-QUIC environments, with high concurrency and under pressure, an assertion in libngtcp2 about monotonic timestamps could trigger and result in server termination and thus denial of service. When interfacing with libngtcp2, for DNS-over-QUIC support in Unbound, it is expected to use monotonic time. Unbound was using realtime instead, and in DoQ environments with high concurrency and under pressure, an assert in libngtcp2 for the quic timestamp would trigger and terminate the server.This vulnerability needs Unbound to be compiled with DoQ support ('--with-libngtcp2') and the 'quic-port' to be configured for the listening interfaces.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-01 21:30 – Updated: 2026-06-02 18:31
VLAI
Details

FlexRIC v2.0.0 contains an authorization bypass in the iApp's xApp isolation mechanism. The equality function eq_xapp_ric_gen_id() in src/ric/iApp/xapp_ric_id.c compares m0->xapp_id against itself (m0->xapp_id) instead of the other argument (m1->xapp_id), effectively ignoring the xApp identity dimension. A malicious xApp connected to the iApp (port 36422) can delete any other xApp's subscriptions by sending an E42_RIC_SUBSCRIPTION_DELETE_REQUEST with a matching ric_gen_id. This breaks multi-tenant isolation in any deployment with multiple xApps sharing the same RIC.

GHSA-X687-V76R-F9GW

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-05 18:31 – Updated: 2026-05-12 15:31
VLAI
Details

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

ext4: do not BUG when INLINE_DATA_FL lacks system.data xattr

A syzbot fuzzed image triggered a BUG_ON in ext4_update_inline_data() when an inode had the INLINE_DATA_FL flag set but was missing the system.data extended attribute.

Since this can happen due to a maiciouly fuzzed file system, we shouldn't BUG, but rather, report it as a corrupted file system.

Add similar replacements of BUG_ON with EXT4_ERROR_INODE() ii ext4_create_inline_data() and ext4_inline_data_truncate().
