Introducing NGINX Instance Manager – A Tool to Track, Configure, and Monitor NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus Instances at Scale NGINX is the popular web server that powers more than 400 million websites. But it’s more than a web server – as a software‑based all-in-one load balancer, web server, API gateway, and reverse proxy designed for cloud‑native architectures, NGINX is really a Swiss Army Knife™ that accelerates your IT infrastructure and application modernization efforts. This wide‑ranging, versatile functionality can, however, lead to many NGINX instances spread across the organization, sometimes with NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus managed by different groups. How do you track all the instances? How do you ensure they have up-to-date configuration and security settings? That’s where NGINX’s latest solution comes in – NGINX Instance Manager. NGINX Instance Manager simplifies NGINX asset management, configuration, and visibility. It is ideal [ more… ]

USN-4879-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

2021-03-16 KENNETH 0

USN-4879-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities It was discovered that the Marvell WiFi-Ex device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate ad-hoc SSIDs. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-36158) Loris Reiff discovered that the BPF implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate attributes in the getsockopt BPF hook. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2021-20194) Source: USN-4879-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

USN-4878-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities It was discovered that the Marvell WiFi-Ex device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate ad-hoc SSIDs. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-36158) Ryota Shiga discovered that the sockopt BPF hooks in the Linux kernel could allow a user space program to probe for valid kernel addresses. A local attacker could use this to ease exploitation of another kernel vulnerability. (CVE-2021-20239) It was discovered that the priority inheritance futex implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3347) 吴异 discovered that the NFS implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly prevent access outside of [ more… ]
