In the Linux kernel before 5.1.17, ptrace_link in kernel/ptrace.c mishandles the recording of the credentials of a process that wants to create a ptrace relationship, which allows local users to obtain root access by leveraging certain scenarios with a parent-child process relationship, where a parent drops privileges and calls execve (potentially allowing control by an attacker).
A stack-based buffer overflow in WECON LeviStudio HMI Editor allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via crafted .UMP file. This module runs a malicious web server on the Core Impact Console and waits for an unsuspecting user to trigger the exploit by connecting to it.
This module exploits a buffer overflow on Disk Pulse Formats plugin when parsing a specially crafted .XML file. After the file is downloaded, the user must open it from the application, clicking on the Command option in the menu bar (or right clicking in the middle window), then choosing Import Command ... and selecting the file.
