There is a limited write heap buffer overflow in the GSSAPI unwrap_des() and unwrap_des3() routines of Heimdal (included in Samba). Some SMB1 write requests were not correctly range checked to ensure the client had sent enough data to fulfill the write, allowing server memory contents to be written into the file (or printer) instead of client supplied data. The

There is an out-of-bounds write in checkType located in etc.c in w3m 0.5.3. It can be triggered by sending a crafted HTML file to the w3m binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service or possibly have unspecified other impact. (CVE-2022-38223)

Mageia 2023-0005: minetest security update

This update provides minetest 5.6.1, the latest stable release of the open source voxel game. This updates provides a number of feature and bug fix changes compared to the previous version 5.4.0 provided in Mageia 8. See the linked release notes and changelogs for details.

Mageia 2023-0003: ctags security update

A flaw was found in Exuberant Ctags in the way it handles the "-o" option. This option specifies the tag filename. A crafted tag filename specified in the command line or in the configuration file results in arbitrary command execution because the externalSortTags() in sort.c calls the system(3) function in an unsafe way. (CVE-2022-4515)

Mageia 2023-0001: python-gitpython security update

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to improper user input validation, which makes it possible to inject a maliciously crafted remote URL into the clone command. Exploiting this vulnerability is possible because the library makes external calls to git without sufficient sanitization of input arguments. This is only relevant when enabling the ext transport

Mageia 2022-0488: libtar security update

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

After tar_close(), libtar.c releases the memory pointed to by pointer t. After tar_close() is called in the list() function, it continues to use pointer t: free_longlink_longname(t->th_buf) . As a result, the released memory is used (use-after-free). (CVE-2021-33640)
