Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-1096-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-1096-01 – The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix: Two flaws were found in the way the Linux kernel’s networking implementation handled UDP packets with incorrect checksum values. A remote attacker could potentially use these flaws to trigger an infinite loop in the kernel, resulting in a denial of service on the system, or cause a denial of service in applications using the edge triggered epoll functionality.

JobScript Remote Code Execution

JobScript suffers from an authenticated arbitrary PHP code execution. The vulnerability is caused due to the improper verification of uploaded files in ‘/admin-ajax.php’ script thru the ‘name’ and ‘file’ POST parameters. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a malicious PHP script file with ‘.php’ extension (to bypass the ‘.htaccess’ block rule) that will be stored in ‘/jobmonster/wp-content/uploads/jobmonster/’ directory.
