Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-12-08 03:03 – Updated: 2022-12-08 03:03
VLAI
Summary
Unchecked return value from xmlTextReaderExpand
Details

Summary

Nokogiri 1.13.8, 1.13.9 fails to check the return value from xmlTextReaderExpand in the method Nokogiri::XML::Reader#attribute_hash. This can lead to a null pointer exception when invalid markup is being parsed.

For applications using XML::Reader to parse untrusted inputs, this may potentially be a vector for a denial of service attack.

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nokogiri >= 1.13.10.

Users may be able to search their code for calls to either XML::Reader#attributes or XML::Reader#attribute_hash to determine if they are affected.

Severity

The Nokogiri maintainers have evaluated this as High Severity 7.5 (CVSS3.1).

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-20 21:31 – Updated: 2026-09-08 18:31
VLAI
Details

tor before 0.4.9.9 was prone to a NULL write after free when sending a CONFLUX_SWITCH cell fails. The return value of relay_send_command_from_edge() was ignored, so a send failure (which calls circuit_mark_for_close() and removes the leg via cfx_del_leg()) would go undetected, causing the caller to write to the now-freed current leg and resulting in a crash. This is TROVE-2026-017.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-10-13 00:30 – Updated: 2024-04-04 08:36
VLAI
Details

An Unchecked Return Value vulnerability in the user interfaces to the Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved, the CLI, the XML API, the XML Management Protocol, the NETCONF Management Protocol, the gNMI interfaces, and the J-Web User Interfaces causes unintended effects such as demotion or elevation of privileges associated with an operators actions to occur.

Multiple scenarios may occur; for example: privilege escalation over the device or another account, access to files that should not otherwise be accessible, files not being accessible where they should be accessible, code expected to run as non-root may run as root, and so forth.

This issue affects:

Juniper Networks Junos OS

  • All versions prior to 20.4R3-S7;
  • 21.1 versions prior to 21.1R3-S5;
  • 21.2 versions prior to 21.2R3-S5;
  • 21.3 versions prior to 21.3R3-S4;
  • 21.4 versions prior to 21.4R3-S3;
  • 22.1 versions prior to 22.1R3-S2;
  • 22.2 versions prior to 22.2R2-S2, 22.2R3;
  • 22.3 versions prior to 22.3R1-S2, 22.3R2.

Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved

  • All versions prior to 21.4R3-S3-EVO;
  • 22.1-EVO version 22.1R1-EVO and later versions prior to 22.2R2-S2-EVO, 22.2R3-EVO;
  • 22.3-EVO versions prior to 22.3R1-S2-EVO, 22.3R2-EVO.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 17:07 – Updated: 2025-10-22 00:31
VLAI
Details

smtp_mailaddr in smtp_session.c in OpenSMTPD 6.6, as used in OpenBSD 6.6 and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root via a crafted SMTP session, as demonstrated by shell metacharacters in a MAIL FROM field. This affects the "uncommented" default configuration. The issue exists because of an incorrect return value upon failure of input validation.

Severity
9.8 (Critical)

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-29 18:21 – Updated: 2026-09-29 18:21
VLAI
Summary
undici vulnerable to Denial of Service via unrequested WebSocket subprotocol
Details

Impact

The undici WebSocket client throws an uncaught TypeError during the opening handshake when a server's 101 response includes a Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header that the client never requested. The throw occurs in a queueMicrotask callback with no surrounding try/catch, so it propagates as an uncaught exception and terminates the Node.js process. This is a remote, unauthenticated denial of service against any application that opens a WebSocket to an attacker controlled or compromised server, or over a plaintext ws:// connection subject to a machine-in-the-middle. It affects the default new WebSocket(url) usage, where no subprotocol is requested. Per RFC 6455 section 4.1, an unrequested subprotocol must fail the connection, not crash it.

All releases starting at undici 6.7.0 are affected.

Patches

Upgrade to undici 6.28.1, 7.29.1, or 8.10.2.

Workarounds

No workaround is available. The fix must be applied through an upgrade.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 19:18 – Updated: 2025-08-15 21:31
VLAI
Details

In the CODESYS V2 web server prior to V1.1.9.22 crafted web server requests can trigger a parser error. Since the parser result is not checked under all conditions, a pointer dereference with an invalid address can occur. This leads to a denial of service situation.

Mitigation MIT-53
Implementation

Check the results of all functions that return a value and verify that the value is expected.

Mitigation MIT-56
Implementation

For any pointers that could have been modified or provided from a function that can return NULL, check the pointer for NULL before use. When working with a multithreaded or otherwise asynchronous environment, ensure that proper locking APIs are used to lock before the check, and unlock when it has finished [REF-1484].

Mitigation
Implementation

Ensure that you account for all possible return values from the function.

Mitigation
Implementation

When designing a function, make sure you return a value or throw an exception in case of an error.
