CVE-2018-0758 [HIGH] Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Description: A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Microsoft Edge (HTML-based). The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially cra

[HIGH] Vulnerability Spotlight: Python.org certificate parsing denial-of-service
Colin Read and Nicolas Edet of Cisco Talos discovered these vulnerabilities.
### Executive summary
Python.org contains an exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability in its X509 certificate parser. A specially crafted X509 certificate can cause a NULL pointer dereference, resulting in a denial of service. Python can crash if getpeercert() is called on a TLS connection, which uses a certificate with invalid DistributionPoint in its extension.
In accordance with our coordinated disclosure policy, Cisco Talos worked with Python to ensure that these issues are resolved and that an update is available for affected customers.
