CVE-2016-10290
HighSummary
CVE-2016-10290 describes an elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Qualcomm shared memory driver that allows a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the kernel context. This issue is rated as High because it requires compromising a privileged process first.
Risk Assessment
The risk to the organization involves the potential execution of malicious code in the system kernel, which could lead to full control over the device. However, it requires prior compromise of a privileged process, which may be challenging but not impossible.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the Android system to the latest version to minimize the risk associated with this vulnerability. Monitoring and securing privileged processes may also help protect against potential attacks.

A caching flaw in the toolbox-core package of the mcp-toolbox-sdk-python SDK causes the same Google ID token to be cached and reused across different audiences. If an application uses the SDK to authenticate to two or more different audiences within the same process, the module-level token cache fails to key its cached tokens by the requested audience. Consequently, a valid, unexpired token minted for a sensitive service (Service A) can be retrieved from the cache and sent to a secondary service (Service B). An attacker who operates, compromises, or monitors traffic to Service B can capture this token and replay it to impersonate the victim application against Service A.

A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability was identified in the notebook viewer of GitHub Enterprise Server. The notebook viewer validated the scheme and host of a user-supplied URL but did not validate the port, allowing requests to be directed to internal services listening on other ports of the same appliance. Response bodies were not returned to the requester, but response timing acted as an oracle that allowed instance secrets to be extracted character by character. An extracted secret could then be used in a separate interaction with an internal service to obtain remote code execution on the appliance. Exploitation required network access to the instance and was unauthenticated when private mode was disabled, or required any authenticated user when private mode was enabled. This vulnerability affected GitHub Enterprise Server versions 3.17 through 3.22 and was fixed in versions 3.22.1, 3.21.6, 3.20.8, 3.19.12, 3.18.15, and 3.17.21. This vulnerability was reported through the GitHub Bug Bounty program.
