In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tcp: avoid too many retransmit packets

If a TCP socket is using TCP_USER_TIMEOUT, and the other peer
retracted its window to zero, tcp_retransmit_timer() can
retransmit a packet every two jiffies (2 ms for HZ=1000),
for about 4 minutes after TCP_USER_TIMEOUT has 'expired'.

The fix is to make sure tcp_rtx_probe0_timed_out() takes
icsk->icsk_user_timeout into account.

Before blamed commit, the socket would not timeout after
icsk->icsk_user_timeout, but would use standard exponential
backoff for the retransmits.

Also worth noting that before commit e89688e3e978 ("net: tcp:
fix unexcepted socket die when snd_wnd is 0"), the issue
would last 2 minutes instead of 4.

Openfind's Mail2000 has a vulnerability that allows the HttpOnly flag to be bypassed. Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability using specific JavaScript code to obtain the session cookie with the HttpOnly flag enabled.

The SMTP Listener of Secure Email Gateway from Cellopoint does not properly validate user input, leading to a Buffer Overflow vulnerability. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary system commands on the remote server.

AguardNet's Space Management System does not properly validate user input, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands to read, modify, and delete database contents.

Versions of the package langchain-experimental from 0.0.15 and before 0.0.21 are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution when retrieving values from the database, the code will attempt to call 'eval' on all values. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability and execute arbitrary python code if they can control the input prompt and the server is configured with VectorSQLDatabaseChain.

**Notes:**

Impact on the Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability of the vulnerable component:

Confidentiality: Code execution happens within the impacted component, in this case langchain-experimental, so all resources are necessarily accessible.

Integrity: There is nothing protected by the impacted component inherently. Although anything returned from the component counts as 'information' for which the trustworthiness can be compromised.

Availability: The loss of availability isn't caused by the attack itself, but it happens as a result during the attacker's post-exploitation steps.

Impact on the Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability of the subsequent system:

As a legitimate low-privileged user of the package (PR:L) the attacker does not have more access to data owned by the package as a result of this vulnerability than they did with normal usage (e.g. can query the DB). The unintended action that one can perform by breaking out of the app environment and exfiltrating files, making remote connections etc. happens during the post exploitation phase in the subsequent system – in this case, the OS.

AT:P: An attacker needs to be able to influence the input prompt, whilst the server is configured with the VectorSQLDatabaseChain plugin.

The Insert or Embed Articulate Content into WordPress plugin before 4.3000000024 does not prevent authors from uploading arbitrary files to the site, which may allow them to upload PHP shells on affected sites.

AguardNet Technology's Space Management System does not properly filter user input, allowing remote attackers with regular privileges to inject JavaScript and perform Reflected Cross-site scripting attacks.

The WPS Hide Login WordPress plugin before 1.9.16.4 does not prevent redirects to the login page via the auth_redirect WordPress function, allowing an unauthenticated visitor to access the hidden login page.
