IPFire versions 2.15 and below core 82 authenticated CGI remote command injection exploit that leverages the bash vulnerability.

This Metasploit module exploits a stack buffer overflow in HP Network Node Manager I (NNMi). The vulnerability exists in the pmd service, due to the insecure usage of functions like strcpy and strcat while handling stack_option packets with user controlled data. In order to bypass ASLR this module uses a proto_tbl packet to leak an libov pointer from the stack and finally build the rop chain to avoid NX.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1319-01 – Apache Xerces for Java is a high performance, standards compliant, validating XML parser written in Java. The xerces-j2 packages provide Xerces-J version 2. A resource consumption issue was found in the way Xerces-J handled XML declarations. A remote attacker could use an XML document with a specially crafted declaration using a long pseudo-attribute name that, when parsed by an application using Xerces-J, would cause that application to use an excessive amount of CPU. All xerces-j2 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. Applications using the Xerces-J must be restarted for this update to take effect.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1322-01 – Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Web Platform is a platform for Java applications, which integrates the JBoss Web Server with JBoss Hibernate and JBoss Seam. It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-5783 was incomplete: the code added to check that the server host name matches the domain name in a subject’s Common Name field in X.509 certificates was flawed. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof an SSL server using a specially crafted X.509 certificate. It was discovered that the HttpClient incorrectly extracted host name from an X.509 certificate subject’s Common Name field. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof an SSL server using a specially crafted X.509 certificate.
