GHSA-2GGR-Q5X3-FM96
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 17:45 – Updated: 2022-10-22 12:00A vulnerability in the implementation of a CLI command in Cisco Aironet Access Points (AP) could allow an authenticated, local attacker to overwrite files in the flash memory of the device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation for a specific command. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by issuing a command with crafted arguments. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to overwrite or create files with data that is already present in other files that are hosted on the affected device.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-13 01:37 – Updated: 2022-05-13 01:37This vulnerability allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files on vulnerable installations of NetGain Systems Enterprise Manager 7.2.730 build 1034. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed. The specific flaw exists within the org.apache.jsp.u.jsp.db.save_005fattrs_jsp servlet, which listens on TCP port 8081 by default. When parsing the id parameter, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to overwrite any files accessible to the Administrator. Was ZDI-CAN-5196.

GHSA-2HRM-9GXC-3C35
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-02-27 12:31 – Updated: 2024-04-10 21:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/dbgfs: fix 'struct pid' leaks in 'dbgfs_target_ids_write()'
DAMON debugfs interface increases the reference counts of 'struct pid's for targets from the 'target_ids' file write callback ('dbgfs_target_ids_write()'), but decreases the counts only in DAMON monitoring termination callback ('dbgfs_before_terminate()').
Therefore, when 'target_ids' file is repeatedly written without DAMON monitoring start/termination, the reference count is not decreased and therefore memory for the 'struct pid' cannot be freed. This commit fixes this issue by decreasing the reference counts when 'target_ids' is written.

GHSA-2J9V-P4XJ-CJW2
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-14 19:24 – Updated: 2026-08-14 19:24Impact
On an instance of Lima running with qemu driver, an arbitrary user in the VM could access /run/lima-guestagent.sock when the guest agent is enabled.
This could result in running an arbitrary command with the root privileges in the VM (not on the host), as lima-guestagent.sock provides the tunneling service for an arbitrary address, including a Unix socket address for privileged daemons like D-Bus.
This vulnerability is not exploitable on vz driver, as the guest agent uses vsocks instead of Unix sockets.
Patches
Patched in Lima v2.1.3 (8a45892378d22f40505c31a38f786a07701b6d50)
[!NOTE] The default user account in the VM can still run an arbitrary command as the root via the guest agent socket. This is not a vulnerability, as the user can already run an arbitrary command with
sudoby design.
Workarounds
- On macOS hosts, use
vzdriver instead ofqemu(limactl create --vm-type=vz. Default since v1.0.) - Or, disable the guest agent (
limactl create --plain)
