This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Microsoft Visual Studio. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
Kyle Zeng discovered that the Network Queuing and Scheduling subsystem of
the Linux kernel did not properly perform reference counting in some
situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-29581)
Jann Horn discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly enforce seccomp
restrictions in some situations. A local attacker could use this to bypass
intended seccomp sandbox restrictions. (CVE-2022-30594)

HCL Traveler is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) caused by improper validation of the Name parameter for Approved Applications in the Traveler administration web pages. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute a malicious script to access any cookies, session tokens, or other sensitive information retained by the browser and used with that site.

USN-5454-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in CUPS. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.
Original advisory details:
Joshua Mason discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled the secret key used
to access the administrative web interface. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to open a session as an administrator and execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-26691)
It was discovered that CUPS incorrectly handled certain memory operations
when handling IPP printing. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue
to cause CUPS to crash, leading to a denial of service, or obtain sensitive
information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04
LTS. (CVE-2019-8842, CVE-2020-10001)
Ilya Averyanov discovered that an InfluxDB vulnerability allowed
attackers to bypass authentication and gain access to any known
database user.
FortiGuard Labs is aware that a 0-day vulnerability in Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool is being exploited in the wild. The first sample that exploits the vulnerability appeared on VirusTotal on April 12th, 2022. Assigned CVE-2022-30190, successful exploitation allows an attacker to run arbitrary code with the privileges of the calling application. The attacker can then install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts in the context allowed by the user’s rights.Why is the Significant?This is significant because the vulnerability is a 0-day vulnerability in Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool that allows remote code execution and is being exploited in the wild.What is CVE-2022-30190?The vulnerability is a remote code execution vulnerability that was named “Follina” by a security researcher Kevin Beaumont. The name “Follina” was derived from the 0-day code referencing “0438”, which is the area code of Follina, Italy. An attacker who successfully exploits this vulnerability can run arbitrary code with the privileges of the calling application such as Word. The attacker can then install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts in the context allowed by the user’s rights.A malicious Word file that is widely discussed online abuses the remote template feature in Microsoft Word and retrieves a remote HTML file. The retrieved HTML file uses the “ms-msdt” MSProtocol URI scheme load and execute the PowerShell payload. Note that ms-msdt refers to “Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool”, which a legitimate Microsoft tool collects and sends system information back to the Microsoft for problem diagnostic.What is concerning is that the vulnerability reportedly can be exploited if even if macros, one of the most prevalent ways to deliver malware via Microsoft Office files, are disabled. Also, if the document file is changed to RTF form, even previewing the document the vulnerability in Windows Explorer can trigged the exploit.How Widespread is this?While the attack that leverages the vulnerability does not appear to be widespread, however more attacks are expected as Proof-of-Concept code is available and a patch has not yet been released. Does the Vulnerability Have CVE Number?CVE-2022-30190 has been assigned to the vulnerability.Has Microsoft Released an Advisory?Yes. See the Appendix for a link to ” Microsoft Windows Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability”.Has Microsoft Released a Patch?No, Microsoft has not released a patch yet.What is the Status of Coverage?FortiGuard Labs provides the following AV coverage against the known sample that are associated with CVE-2022-30190:MSWord/Agent.2E52!tr.dldrKnown network IOCs for CVE-2022-30190 are blocked by the WebFiltering client.FortiGuard Labs is currently investigating for additional coverage against CVE-2022-30190. This Threat Signal will be updated when additional information becomes available.Any Suggested Mitigation?Microsoft released an official blog on CVE-2022-30190 that includes mitigation information. See the Appendix for a link to “Guidance for CVE-2022-30190 Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool Vulnerability”.
