Summary
In the Linux kernel's ocfs2 (o2dlm) subsystem, the DLM_MIGRATE_REQUEST handler trusted the peer-supplied name length (namelen) without bounding it. dlm_init_mle() then copied that many bytes into the fixed 32-byte mname[] array of an o2dlm_mle slab object, allowing a heap out-of-bounds write of up to ~215 attacker-controlled bytes.
Risk Assessment
Any node that has joined the DLM domain — including a compromised or malicious cluster member — can send a malformed message to corrupt memory or panic another node. There is no local trigger; the attacker must already be a member of the cluster.
Recommendation
Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that bounds namelen in dlm_migrate_request_handler (along with validation of lockname_len, num_locks, and payload size). Until patched, restrict OCFS2 cluster membership to trusted nodes only.

sngrep through 1.8.4 contains stack buffer overflow vulnerabilities in SIP attribute formatting routines when header values exceed the 255-byte buffer limit. Attackers can craft malicious SIP packets with oversized Call-ID, X-Call-ID, or other header fields to overflow stack buffers and cause crashes or execute arbitrary code during packet parsing and rendering.

The Events Calendar plugin for WordPress in all versions up to and including 6.17.3 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via the parse_array function. Insufficient validation of the widget 'classes' map allows a plain-array payload to bypass the is_safe_widget_instance() object check and reach the callable-invocation sink in Element_Classes::parse_array(). This enables unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server, provided comments are enabled on tribe_events posts and at least one comment containing a crafted wp:legacy-widget block has been submitted.
- CVE-2026-78006Critical
The Events Calendar plugin for WordPress in all versions up to and including 6.17.4 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via the is_safe_widget_instance function. Insufficient protection in is_safe_widget_instance can be bypassed because PHP fires magic methods during its pre-parse, combined with enable_rendering_widget_copied() forging a valid wp_hash integrity attribute before unserialize() is reached. This enables unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server, as the plugin's V2 single-event template runs do_blocks() over buffered comment HTML and WordPress returns a moderation-hash URL allowing an unauthenticated commenter to immediately view their own pending comment.
- CVE-2026-85681Critical
The WP Component WordPress plugin through 2.2.4 does not have any capability or nonce checks on one of the actions it makes available to unauthenticated users, and it takes both the option name and the option value from the request, allowing unauthenticated attackers to overwrite any of the site's options. On a single site installation this leads to a full takeover, as registration can be enabled with a default role of administrator.
- CVE-2026-84171Critical
The WP images upload on piclect WordPress plugin through 1.0 does not validate the name or type of uploaded files before writing them to a publicly accessible directory, allowing unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code on the server.
- CVE-2026-82845Critical
The Masteriyo LMS WordPress plugin before 3.4.1 does not prevent user-supplied values held as metadata from being deserialized when they are read back, allowing users with a minimal account to inject arbitrary PHP objects and, by way of a class shipped in a library bundled with the plugin, write and execute arbitrary code on the server. A weaker form of the same issue is reachable without an account and yields an arbitrary file write rather than code execution.
- CVE-2026-81402Critical
The DS Ad Rotator WordPress plugin through 0.8 does not perform any capability check, nonce verification, or file-type validation on its image upload handler, allowing unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files, including PHP, to a web-accessible directory, which can lead to remote code execution.
- CVE-2026-77006Critical
The WebTotem Backups WordPress plugin through 1.0.1 does not validate a user-supplied file path, does not check the capability of the user making the request, and discards the result of its own CSRF check, allowing any authenticated user, such as a subscriber, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can lead to a site takeover.

The CODE MONKEYS PROPOSALS WordPress plugin through 1.0.1 does not validate a user-supplied file path before deleting a file, and does not check the capability of the user making the request, allowing any authenticated user, such as a subscriber, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can lead to a site takeover.
- CVE-2026-75800Critical
The Frontegg SAML SSO WordPress plugin through 1.0.1 does not verify the signature or issuer of SAML authentication responses before establishing a session, allowing unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user, including administrators, as well as to create arbitrary accounts.
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: bound namelen in dlm_migrate_request_handler Patch series "ocfs2/dlm: bound peer-controlled lengths in the o2dlm". The o2dlm receive handlers trust u8 length and count fields from the wire without bounding them, so a node in a DLM domain can corrupt or panic any other node with a malformed message. Three defects: - dlm_migrate_request_handler() passes migrate->namelen unchecked to dlm_init_mle(), which memcpy()s it into the 32-byte mname[] of an o2dlm_mle slab object: a heap out-of-bounds write of up to ~215 attacker-controlled bytes. - dlm_mig_lockres_handler() passes mres->lockname_len unchecked to dlm_init_lockres(), which memcpy()s it into the 32-byte o2dlm_lockname slab object: a heap out-of-bounds write of up to ~223 bytes. - the same handler trusts mres->num_locks without checking that the message is large enough to hold that many entries, so dlm_process_recovery_data() walks mres->ml[] past the kmalloc(data_len) copy and trips a BUG_ON (an out-of-bounds read ending in a panic). The other o2dlm receive handlers already reject an oversized name; the migration and recovery handlers have omitted it since the DLM was added (see the Fixes tags). Patch 1 bounds namelen; patch 2 validates lockname_len, num_locks, and the payload size. Conforming recovery and migration traffic is unaffected. o2net authenticates peers only by the DLM domain key, so any node that has joined the domain -- including a compromised or malicious member -- can send these messages. There is no local trigger; the attacker must already be a member of the cluster. Each sink was confirmed under KASAN with an out-of-tree module mirroring it exactly -- a kmem_cache/kmalloc of the real destination size, then the same unclamped memcpy/loop: slab-out-of-bounds Write for the two writes, Read for the recovery walk, and a panic. A userspace AddressSanitizer build faults identically under -m32 and -m64. Scrubbed logs are available on request. I reported this privately to [email protected] and the ocfs2 maintainers on 2026-06-20; with no response after the standard embargo period I am posting the fix publicly. I have no embargo requirement. This patch (of 2): A node receiving a DLM_MIGRATE_REQUEST message trusts the peer-supplied name length (migrate->namelen) without bounding it. dlm_init_mle() then copies that many bytes into the fixed DLM_LOCKID_NAME_MAX-byte mname[] array of an o2dlm_mle slab object, so a malformed message from a cluster peer overflows the slab object by up to ~215 bytes: a heap out-of-bounds write of attacker-controlled data, reachable by any node in the domain. Reject an oversized name, the way dlm_master_request_handler() and the other o2dlm receive handlers already do; the migration handler omits the check entirely. Conforming messages are unaffected.
