pcp: Local privilege escalation from user pcp to root

pcp: Local privilege escalation from user pcp to root through migrate_tempdirs

A local privilege escalation vulnerability was found on polkit's pkexec utility. The pkexec application is a setuid tool designed to allow unprivileged users to run commands as privileged users according predefined policies. The current version of pkexec doesn't handle the calling parameters count correctly and ends trying to execute environment variables as commands. An attacker can leverage this by crafting environment variables in such a way it'll induce pkexec to execute arbitrary code. When successfully executed the attack can cause a local privilege escalation given unprivileged users administrative rights on the target machine.

crypto: algif_aead - Revert to operating out-of-place

In cifs-utils through 6.14, a stack-based buffer overflow when parsing the mount.cifs ip= command-line argument could lead to local attackers gaining root privileges.

An issue was discovered in psi/zfile.c in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.04.0. Out-of-bounds data access in filenameforall can lead to arbitrary code execution.

An issue was discovered in base/gsdevice.c in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.04.0. An integer overflow when parsing the filename format string (for the output filename) results in path truncation, and possible path traversal and code execution.

An issue was discovered in psi/zcolor.c in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.04.0. An unchecked Implementation pointer in Pattern color space could lead to arbitrary code execution.

A Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') vulnerability in SUSE SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 15 SP5 postfix, SUSE SUSE Linux Enterprise High Performance Computing 15 SP5 postfix, SUSE openSUSE Leap 15.5 postfix.This issue affects SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 15 SP5: before 3.7.3-150500.3.5.1; SUSE Linux Enterprise High Performance Computing 15 SP5: before 3.7.3-150500.3.5.1; openSUSE Leap 15.5 : before 3.7.3-150500.3.5.1.

Migrations requests can cause DoS on rmt

An issue was discovered in psi/zcolor.c in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.04.0. There is an out-of-bounds read when reading color in Indexed color space.
