GHSA-VXCV-H5WJ-JXR5
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-15 18:31 – Updated: 2026-07-15 18:31NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_slice_module module. When the slice directive and unnamed regex captures are configured or when a background cache update happens, unauthenticated attackers can send requests that may cause uninitialized memory access in the NGINX worker process, leading to limited disclosure of memory or a restart.
Impact: This vulnerability may allow remote, unauthenticated attackers to have limited control to disclose memory contents or restart the NGINX worker process. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only. Note: The ngx_http_slice_module module is not enabled by default; it's enabled with the --with-http_slice_module configuration parameter.
Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

GHSA-VXX9-9GJR-JRJ2
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-13 18:31 – Updated: 2026-03-25 18:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/core: Check for the presence of LS_NLA_TYPE_DGID correctly
The netlink response for RDMA_NL_LS_OP_IP_RESOLVE should always have a LS_NLA_TYPE_DGID attribute, it is invalid if it does not.
Use the nl parsing logic properly and call nla_parse_deprecated() to fill the nlattrs array and then directly index that array to get the data for the DGID. Just fail if it is NULL.
Remove the for loop searching for the nla, and squash the validation and parsing into one function.
Fixes an uninitialized read from the stack triggered by userspace if it does not provide the DGID to a kernel initiated RDMA_NL_LS_OP_IP_RESOLVE query.

GHSA-W46C-WW47-4HF8
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-01-11 15:30 – Updated: 2025-02-03 15:32In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: ptrace: fix partial SETREGSET for NT_ARM_FPMR
Currently fpmr_set() doesn't initialize the temporary 'fpmr' variable, and a SETREGSET call with a length of zero will leave this uninitialized. Consequently an arbitrary value will be written back to target->thread.uw.fpmr, potentially leaking up to 64 bits of memory from the kernel stack. The read is limited to a specific slot on the stack, and the issue does not provide a write mechanism.
Fix this by initializing the temporary value before copying the regset from userspace, as for other regsets (e.g. NT_PRSTATUS, NT_PRFPREG, NT_ARM_SYSTEM_CALL). In the case of a zero-length write, the existing contents of FPMR will be retained.
Before this patch:
| # ./fpmr-test | Attempting to write NT_ARM_FPMR::fpmr = 0x900d900d900d900d | SETREGSET(nt=0x40e, len=8) wrote 8 bytes | | Attempting to read NT_ARM_FPMR::fpmr | GETREGSET(nt=0x40e, len=8) read 8 bytes | Read NT_ARM_FPMR::fpmr = 0x900d900d900d900d | | Attempting to write NT_ARM_FPMR (zero length) | SETREGSET(nt=0x40e, len=0) wrote 0 bytes | | Attempting to read NT_ARM_FPMR::fpmr | GETREGSET(nt=0x40e, len=8) read 8 bytes | Read NT_ARM_FPMR::fpmr = 0xffff800083963d50

GHSA-W6P3-73R2-4574
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-22 15:31 – Updated: 2026-04-28 15:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/irdma: Initialize free_qp completion before using it
In irdma_create_qp, if ib_copy_to_udata fails, it will call irdma_destroy_qp to clean up which will attempt to wait on the free_qp completion, which is not initialized yet. Fix this by initializing the completion before the ib_copy_to_udata call.

Mitigation
Explicitly initialize the resource before use. If this is performed through an API function or standard procedure, follow all required steps.
Mitigation
Pay close attention to complex conditionals that affect initialization, since some branches might not perform the initialization.
Mitigation
Avoid race conditions (CWE-362) during initialization routines.
Mitigation
Run or compile the product with settings that generate warnings about uninitialized variables or data.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
