Zeek is a powerful network analysis framework that is much different from the typical IDS you may know. While focusing on network security monitoring, Zeek provides a comprehensive platform for more general network traffic analysis as well. Well grounded in more than 15 years of research, Zeek has successfully bridged the traditional gap between academia and operations since its inception. Today, it is relied upon operationally in particular by many scientific environments for securing their cyber-infrastructure. Zeek's user community includes major universities, research labs, supercomputing centers, and open-science communities. This is the source code release.
Debian Linux Security Advisory 5816-1 - The Qualys Threat Research Unit discovered that libmodule-scandeps-perl, a Perl module to recursively scan Perl code for dependencies, allows an attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands via specially crafted file names.
Debian Linux Security Advisory 5815-1 - The Qualys Threat Research Unit discovered several local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in needrestart, a utility to check which daemons need to be restarted after library upgrades. A local attacker can execute arbitrary code as root by tricking needrestart into running the Python interpreter with an attacker-controlled PYTHONPATH environment variable (CVE-2024-48990) or running the Ruby interpreter with an attacker-controlled RUBYLIB environment variable (CVE-2024-48992). Additionally a local attacker can trick needrestart into running a fake Python interpreter (CVE-2024-48991) or cause needrestart to call the Perl module Module::ScanDeps with attacker-controlled files (CVE-2024-11003).

Ubuntu Security Notice 7089-7 - Chenyuan Yang discovered that the USB Gadget subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly check for the device to be enabled before writing. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
Ubuntu Security Notice 7117-1 - Qualys discovered that needrestart passed unsanitized data to a library which expects safe input. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root. Qualys discovered that the library libmodule-scandeps-perl incorrectly parsed perl code. This could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands.
Ubuntu Security Notice 7115-1 - It was discovered that Waitress could process follow up requests when receiving a specially crafted message. An attacker could use this issue to have the server process inconsistent client requests. Dylan Jay discovered that Waitress could be lead to write to an unexisting socket after closing the remote connection. An attacker could use this issue to increase resource utilization leading to a denial of service.
WordPress Really Simple Security plugin versions prior to 9.1.2 proof of concept authentication bypass exploit.
Proof of concept code to exploit an authentication bypass in Palo Alto's PAN-OS that is coupled with remote command execution.
Ubuntu Security Notice 7116-1 - It was discovered that Python incorrectly handled quoting path names when using the venv module. A local attacker able to control virtual environments could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code when the virtual environment is activated.
Ubuntu Security Notice 7015-5 - USN-7015-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Python. This update provides the corresponding update for CVE-2024-6232 and CVE-2024-6923 for python2.7 in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. It was discovered that the Python email module incorrectly parsed email addresses that contain special characters. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass certain protection mechanisms. It was discovered that Python allowed excessive backtracking while parsing certain tarfile headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Python to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. It was discovered that the Python email module incorrectly quoted newlines for email headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform header injection. It was discovered that the Python http.cookies module incorrectly handled parsing cookies that contained backslashes for quoted characters. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Python to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. It was discovered that the Python zipfile module incorrectly handled certain malformed zip files. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Python to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service.
Ubuntu Security Notice 7114-1 - It was discovered that Glib incorrectly handled certain trailing characters. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash or other undefined behavior.
Ubuntu Security Notice 7104-1 - It was discovered that curl could overwrite the HSTS expiry of the parent domain with the subdomain's HSTS entry. This could lead to curl switching back to insecure HTTP earlier than otherwise intended, resulting in information exposure.
Ubuntu Security Notice 7113-1 - Several security issues were discovered in the WebKitGTK Web and JavaScript engines. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to web browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service attacks, and arbitrary code execution.

CVE-2024-28397 is a sandbox escape in js2py versions 0.74 and below. js2py is a popular python package that can evaluate javascript code inside a python interpreter. The vulnerability allows for an attacker to obtain a reference to a python object in the js2py environment enabling them to escape the sandbox, bypass pyimport restrictions and execute arbitrary commands on the host. At the time of this writing no patch has been released and version 0.74 is the latest version of js2py which was released Nov 6, 2022. CVE-2024-39205 is a remote code execution vulnerability in Pyload versions 0.5.0b3.dev85 and below. It is an open-source download manager designed to automate file downloads from various online sources. Pyload is vulnerable because it exposes the vulnerable js2py functionality mentioned above on the /flash/addcrypted2 API endpoint. This endpoint was designed to only accept connections from localhost but by manipulating the HOST header we can bypass this restriction in order to access the API to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution.
