Description of the patch: This update for firejail fixes the following issues: firejail 0.9.64.4 is shipped to openSUSE Leap 15.2 - CVE-2021-26910: Fixed root privilege escalation due to race condition (boo#1181990) Update to 0.9.64.4: * disabled overlayfs, pending multiple fixes * fixed launch firefox for open url in telegram-desktop.profile Update to 0.9.64.2: * allow --tmpfs inside $HOME for unprivileged users * --disable-usertmpfs compile time option * allow AF_BLUETOOTH via --protocol=bluetooth * setup guide for new users: contrib/firejail-welcome.sh * implement netns in profiles * added nolocal6.net IPv6 network filter * new profiles: spectacle, chromium-browser-privacy, gtk-straw-viewer, gtk-youtube-viewer, gtk2-youtube-viewer, gtk3-youtube-viewer, straw-viewer, lutris, dolphin-emu, authenticator-rs, servo, npm, marker, yarn, lsar, unar, agetpkg, mdr, shotwell, qnapi, new profiles: guvcview, pkglog, kdiff3, CoyIM. Update to version 0.9.64: * replaced --nowrap option with --wrap in firemon * The blocking action of seccomp filters has been changed from killing the process to returning EPERM to the caller. To get the previous behaviour, use --seccomp-error-action=kill or syscall:kill syntax when constructing filters, or override in /etc/firejail/firejail.config file. * Fine-grained D-Bus sandboxing with xdg-dbus-proxy. xdg-dbus-proxy must be installed, if not D-Bus access will be allowed. With this version nodbus is deprecated, in favor of dbus-user none and dbus-system none and will be removed in a future version. * DHCP client support * firecfg only fix dektop-files if started with sudo * SELinux labeling support * custom 32-bit seccomp filter support * restrict ${RUNUSER} in several profiles * blacklist shells such as bash in several profiles * whitelist globbing * mkdir and mkfile support for /run/user directory * support ignore for include * --include on the command line * splitting up media players whitelists in whitelist-players.inc * new condition: HAS_NOSOUND * new profiles: gfeeds, firefox-x11, tvbrowser, rtv, clipgrab, muraster * new profiles: gnome-passwordsafe, bibtex, gummi, latex, mupdf-x11-curl * new profiles: pdflatex, tex, wpp, wpspdf, wps, et, multimc, mupdf-x11 * new profiles: gnome-hexgl, com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate, mupdf-gl, mutool * new profiles: desktopeditors, impressive, planmaker18, planmaker18free * new profiles: presentations18, presentations18free, textmaker18, teams * new profiles: textmaker18free, xournal, gnome-screenshot, ripperX * new profiles: sound-juicer, com.github.dahenson.agenda, gnome-pomodoro * new profiles: gnome-todo, x2goclient, iagno, kmplayer, penguin-command * new profiles: frogatto, gnome-mines, gnome-nibbles, lightsoff, warmux * new profiles: ts3client_runscript.sh, ferdi, abiword, four-in-a-row * new profiles: gnome-mahjongg, gnome-robots, gnome-sudoku, gnome-taquin * new profiles: gnome-tetravex, blobwars, gravity-beams-and-evaporating-stars * new profiles: hyperrogue, jumpnbump-menu, jumpnbump, magicor, mindless * new profiles: mirrormagic, mrrescue, scorched3d-wrapper, scorchwentbonkers * new profiles: seahorse-adventures, wordwarvi, xbill, gnome-klotski * new profiles: swell-foop, fdns, five-or-more, steam-runtime * new profiles: nicotine, plv, mocp, apostrophe, quadrapassel, dino-im * new profiles: hitori, bijiben, gnote, gnubik, ZeGrapher, xonotic-sdl-wrapper * new profiles: gapplication, openarena_ded, element-desktop, cawbird * new profiles: freetube, strawberry, jitsi-meet-desktop * new profiles: homebank, mattermost-desktop, newsflash, com.gitlab.newsflash * new profiles: sushi, xfce4-screenshooter, org.gnome.NautilusPreviewer, lyx * new profiles: minitube, nuclear, mtpaint, minecraft-launcher, gnome-calendar * new profiles: vmware, git-cola, otter-browser, kazam, menulibre, musictube * new profiles: onboard, fractal, mirage, quaternion, spectral, man, psi * new profiles: smuxi-frontend-gnome, balsa, kube, trojita, youtube * new profiles: youtubemusic-nativefier, cola, dbus-send, notify-send * new profiles: qrencode, ytmdesktop, twitch * new profiles: xournalpp, chromium-freeworld, equalx - Make the AppArmor profile compatible with AppArmor 3.0 (add missing include <tunables/global>) Update to 0.9.62.4 * fix AppArmor broken in the previous release * miscellaneous fixes Update to 0.9.62.2 * fix CVE-2020-17367 * fix CVE-2020-17368

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Nomenclature

  • Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
  • Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
  • Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
  • Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
  • Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
