GNU : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs,

less through 653 allows OS command execution via a newline character in the name of a file, because quoting is mishandled in filename.c. Exploitation typically requires use with attacker-controlled file names, such as the files extracted from an untrusted archive. Exploitation also requires the LESSOPEN environment variable, but this is set by default in many common cases.

In Emacs before 29.3, Org mode considers contents of remote files to be trusted. This affects Org Mode before 9.6.23.

In Emacs before 29.3, LaTeX preview is enabled by default for e-mail attachments.

In Emacs before 29.3, Gnus treats inline MIME contents as trusted.

In Emacs before 29.3, arbitrary Lisp code is evaluated as part of turning on Org mode. This affects Org Mode before 9.6.23.

An issue was discovered in GNU Savane v.3.13 and before, allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code and escalate privileges via a crafted file to the upload.php component.

A flaw has been discovered in GnuTLS where an application crash can be induced when attempting to verify a specially crafted .pem bundle using the "certtool --verify-chain" command.

An issue in GNU Savane v.3.12 and before allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via the form_id in the form_header() function.

Cross Site Request Forgery vulnerability in GNU Savane v.3.12 and before allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via siteadmin/usergroup.php

Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in GNU Savane v.3.12 and before allows a remote attacker to delete arbitrary files via crafted input to the trackers_data_delete_file function.

The iconv() function in the GNU C Library versions 2.39 and older may overflow the output buffer passed to it by up to 4 bytes when converting strings to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set, which may be used to crash an application or overwrite a neighbouring variable.

GRUB2 does not call the module fini functions on exit, leading to Debian/Ubuntu's peimage GRUB2 module leaving UEFI system table hooks after exit. This lead to a use-after-free condition, and could possibly lead to secure boot bypass.

A flaw was found in the grub2-set-bootflag utility of grub2. After the fix of CVE-2019-14865, grub2-set-bootflag will create a temporary file with the new grubenv content and rename it to the original grubenv file. If the program is killed before the rename operation, the temporary file will not be removed and may fill the filesystem when invoked multiple times, resulting in a filesystem out of free inodes or blocks.

A flaw was found in indent, a program for formatting C code. This issue may allow an attacker to trick a user into processing a specially crafted file to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow, causing the application to crash.

A flaw was found in the GNU coreutils "split" program. A heap overflow with user-controlled data of multiple hundred bytes in length could occur in the line_bytes_split() function, potentially leading to an application crash and denial of service.

GNU indent 2.2.13 has a heap-based buffer overflow in search_brace in indent.c via a crafted file.

In GNU tar before 1.35, mishandled extension attributes in a PAX archive can lead to an application crash in xheader.c.

GNU gdb (GDB) 13.0.50.20220805-git was discovered to contain a heap buffer overflow via the function pe_as16() at /gdb/coff-pe-read.c.

GNU gdb (GDB) 13.0.50.20220805-git was discovered to contain a heap use after free via the function add_pe_exported_sym() at /gdb/coff-pe-read.c.

GNU gdb (GDB) 13.0.50.20220805-git was discovered to contain a stack overflow via the function ada_decode at /gdb/ada-lang.c.

GNU libmicrohttpd before 0.9.76 allows remote DoS (Denial of Service) due to improper parsing of a multipart/form-data boundary in the postprocessor.c MHD_create_post_processor() method. This allows an attacker to remotely send a malicious HTTP POST packet that includes one or more '\0' bytes in a multipart/form-data boundary field, which - assuming a specific heap layout - will result in an out-of-bounds read and a crash in the find_boundary() function.

A flaw was found in Binutils. The field `the_bfd` of `asymbol`struct is uninitialized in the `bfd_mach_o_get_synthetic_symtab` function, which may lead to an application crash and local denial of service.

A flaw was found in Binutils. A logic fail in the bfd_init_section_decompress_status function may lead to the use of an uninitialized variable that can cause a crash and local denial of service.

A flaw was found in Binutils. The use of an uninitialized field in the struct module *module may lead to application crash and local denial of service.

socket.c in GNU Screen through 4.9.0, when installed setuid or setgid (the default on platforms such as Arch Linux and FreeBSD), allows local users to send a privileged SIGHUP signal to any PID, causing a denial of service or disruption of the target process.
