CVE-2017-7541
HighSummary
The brcmf_cfg80211_mgmt_tx function in the Linux kernel before version 4.12.3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted NL80211_CMD_FRAME Netlink packet.
Risk Assessment
This vulnerability can lead to system crashes, affecting service availability, and may allow local users to gain elevated privileges, posing a serious security threat to the organization.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to version 4.12.3 or later to mitigate the risks associated with this vulnerability.

The Paytium: Mollie payment forms & donations plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.3. The 5.0.3 patch added a signature gate on the pt-paytium-user-data field but left a second filter, pt_cf_checkout_meta(), that copies $_POST['pt_form_field'] values without signature verification, allowing the user role to be overwritten and an administrator account to be created.

Laravel-Mediable versions 7.0.0 to 7.0.2 contain an incomplete patch for CVE-2026-49972 — the .pht extension is missing from the forbidden_extensions blocklist in config/mediable.php. Apache on Debian and Ubuntu executes .pht files as PHP, allowing an attacker to upload a malicious file and achieve remote code execution.
- CVE-2026-6928Critical
IBM Concert versions 1.0.0 through 3.0.0 references or accesses memory after it has been freed (use-after-free). An attacker who can influence program execution or input may exploit this condition to corrupt memory, cause application crashes, or execute arbitrary code.
- CVE-2026-6730Critical
IBM Concert versions 1.0.0 through 3.0.0 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow caused by improper bounds checking. A local user could overflow the buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
- CVE-2026-6721Critical
IBM Concert versions 1.0.0 through 3.0.0 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to supply specially crafted input that is incorporated into OS commands, resulting in arbitrary command execution. Successful exploitation allows remote code execution with the privileges of the affected application.

RabbitMQ prior to versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.0 — when no CA bundle is available, ssl_options/1 falls back to [{verify, verify_none}] with no warning. An attacker in a man-in-the-middle position can forge the JWKS response, leading the broker to accept arbitrary JWTs.
- CVE-2026-67231Critical
RabbitMQ prior to versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.0 — the trust-store plugin installs a verify_fun that overrides {bad_cert, unknown_ca} / {bad_cert, selfsigned_peer} when the presented cert "matches" a whitelisted one. The match key relies solely on issuer name and serial number, which can be easily forged, allowing TLS client authentication bypass.
