A vulnerability has been discovered in the Linux kernel, which could allow for data overwrite in arbitrary read-only files by non-privilege users. Linux is a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow for root privilege escalation.
The fix issued for CVE-2020-17530 was incomplete. So from Apache Struts 2.0.0 to 2.5.29, still some of the tag’s attributes could perform a double evaluation if a developer applied forced OGNL evaluation by using the %{…} syntax. Using forced OGNL evaluation on untrusted user input can lead to a Remote Code Execution and security degradation.
It was discovered that nginx Lua module mishandled certain inputs.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform an HTTP Request
Smuggling attack. This issue only affects Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-11724)
It was discovered that nginx Lua module mishandled certain inputs.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to disclose sensitive
information. This issue only affects Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-36309)
It was discovered that nginx mishandled the use of
compatible certificates among multiple encryption protocols.
If a remote attacker were able to intercept the communication,
this issue could be used to redirect traffic between subdomains.
(CVE-2021-3618)
It may be possible to have an extremely long aggregation pipeline in conjunction with a specific stage/operator and cause a stack overflow due to the size of the stack frames used by that stage. If an attacker could cause such an aggregation to occur, they could maliciously crash MongoDB in a DoS attack. This vulnerability affects MongoDB versions prior to 5.0.4, 4.4.11, 4.2.16.
Daniel Motta reportedly stole elderly client’s Trezor hardware wallet and its password while providing security help
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Microsoft products, the most severe of which could allow for remote code execution in the context of the logged on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.

RaidForums has been shut down and its infrastructure seized in a joint law enforcement operation coordinated by Europol
Organizations are adopting IoT solutions to automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks in their facilities and hospitals are no different. While robots and other devices can free and improve the efficiency of valuable human resources, they can also introduce risks that organizations have never previously had to deal with.
This is highlighted today by the disclosure of five serious vulnerabilities in Aethon TUG, a line of mobile autonomous robots designed to haul food, medication, lab specimens and other supplies across facilities. TUGs, which have been deployed in hospitals around the world, use sensors and cameras to navigate hallways and can interact with elevators and automatic doors through Wi-Fi.
