Descriptions

The encode_name macro in misc/mntent_r.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.11.1 and earlier, as used by ncpmount and mount.cifs, does not properly handle newline characters in mountpoint names, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (mtab corruption), or possibly modify mount options and gain privileges, via a crafted mount request.

La macro "encode_name" en "misc/mntent_r.c" en la Librería C GNU (también conocida como glibc or libc6) v2.11.1 y anteriores, como la usada por "ncpmount" y "mount.cifs" no maneja correctamente los caracteres de "nueva línea" en los nombres de punto de montaje, que permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de mtab) o posiblemente modificar las opciones de montado y ganar privilegios, a través de una petición de montaje manipulada

The industrial managed switch series 852 from WAGO is affected by multiple vulnerabilities such as old software components embedded in the firmware. Furthermore, hardcoded password hashes and credentials were also found by doing an automated scan with IoT Inspector.
