a Perl module to recursively scan Perl code for dependencies, allows an
attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands via specially crafted file
names.

DSA-5815-1 needrestart – security update

Read Time:39 Second

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).

Multiple Vulnerabilities in Palo Alto PAN-OS Could Allow for Authentication Bypass

Read Time:17 Second

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Palo Alto PAN-OS, the most severe of which could allow for authentication bypass. PAN-OS is the software that runs all Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls. Successful exploitation could allow for authentication bypass with administrator privileges. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data.
