It was discovered that zsh, a powerful shell and scripting language,
did not prevent recursive prompt expansion. This would allow an
attacker to execute arbitrary commands into a user’s shell, for
instance by tricking a vcs_info user into checking out a git branch
with a specially crafted name.

A Vulnerability in Apple Products Could Allow for Arbitrary Code Execution
A vulnerability has been discovered in Apple Products, which could allow for arbitrary code execution if a user views a specially crafted web page.
iOS is a mobile operating system for mobile devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
iPadOS is the successor to iOS 12 and is a mobile operating system for iPads.
macOS Monterey is the 18th and current major release of macOS.
Safari is a graphical web browser developed by Apple.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in arbitrary code execution within the context of the application, an attacker gaining the same privileges as the logged-on user, or the bypassing of security restrictions. Depending on the permission associated with the application running the exploit, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data.
Multiple Vulnerabilities in Google Chrome Could Allow for Arbitrary Code Execution
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Google Chrome, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution. Google Chrome is a web browser used to access the Internet. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser. Depending on the privileges associated with the application, an attacker could view, change, or delete data. If this application has been configured to have fewer user rights on the system, exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could have less impact than if it was configured with administrative rights
DSA-5077 librecad – security update
Multiple security issues were discovered in LibreCAD, an application for
computer aided design (CAD) which could result in denial of service or
the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed CAD file is opened.
DSA-5076 h2database – security update
Security researchers of JFrog Security and Ismail Aydemir discovered two remote
code execution vulnerabilities in the H2 Java SQL database engine which can be
exploited through various attack vectors, most notably through the H2 Console
and by loading custom classes from remote servers through JNDI. The H2 console
is a developer tool and not required by any reverse-dependency in Debian. It
has been disabled in (old)stable releases. Database developers are advised to
use at least version 2.1.210-1, currently available in Debian unstable.
DSA-5075 minetest – security update
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Minetest, a sandbox video game
and game creation system. These issues may allow attackers to manipulate game
mods and grant them an unfair advantage over other players. These flaws could
also be abused for a denial of service attack against a Minetest server or if
user input is passed directly to minetest.deserialize without serializing it
first, then a malicious user could run Lua code in the server environment.
DSA-5074 thunderbird – security update
Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird, which could
result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.
DSA-5073 expat – security update
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Expat, an XML parsing C
library, which could result in denial of service or potentially the
execution of arbitrary code, if a malformed XML file is processed.
DSA-5072 debian-edu-config – security update
Marcel Neumann, Robert Altschaffel, Loris Guba and Dustin Hermann
discovered that debian-edu-config, a set of configuration files used for
the Debian Edu blend configured insecure permissions for the user web
shares (~/public_html), which could result in privilege escalation.
DSA-5071 samba – security update
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Samba, a SMB/CIFS file,
print, and login server for Unix.
