CVE-2022-36086
linked_list_allocator is an allocator usable for no_std systems. Prior to version 0.10.2, the heap initialization methods were missing a minimum size check for the given heap size argument. This could lead to out-of-bound writes when a heap was initialized with a size smaller than `3 * size_of::<usize>` because of metadata write operations. This vulnerability impacts all the initialization functions on the `Heap` and `LockedHeap` types, including `Heap::new`, `Heap::init`, `Heap::init_from_slice`, and `LockedHeap::new`. It also affects multiple uses of the `Heap::extend` method. Version 0.10.2 contains a patch for the issue. As a workaround, ensure that the heap is only initialized with a size larger than `3 * size_of::<usize>` and that the `Heap::extend` method is only called with sizes larger than `2 * size_of::<usize>()`. Also, ensure that the total heap size is (and stays) a multiple of `2 * size_of::<usize>()`.

A buffer overflow vulnerability in the User-ID™ Authentication Portal (aka Captive Portal) service of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the PA-Series and VM-Series firewalls by sending specially crafted packets. The risk of this issue is greatly reduced if you secure access to the User-ID™ Authentication Portal per the best practice guidelines https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail by restricting access to only trusted internal IP addresses. Prisma Access, Cloud NGFW and Panorama appliances are not impacted by this vulnerability.
A security vulnerability has been detected in TRENDnet TEW-821DAP 1.12B01. Impacted is the function auto_update_firmware of the component Firmware Udpate. The manipulation of the argument str leads to buffer overflow. The attack may be initiated remotely. The vendor explains: "That firmware version will only work on our hardware version v1.xR. We have already EOL that product 8 years ago and are no longer selling". This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
A vulnerability was determined in Tenda F456 1.0.0.5. The affected element is the function formwebtypelibrary of the file /goform/webtypelibrary. This manipulation of the argument menufacturer/Go causes stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.
A vulnerability was detected in Tenda F451 1.0.0.7_cn_svn7958. The affected element is the function fromAdvSetWan of the file /goform/AdvSetWan. The manipulation of the argument wanmode/PPPOEPassword results in stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used.
A weakness has been identified in Tenda F451 1.0.0.7_cn_svn7958. This issue affects the function fromSetIpBind of the file /goform/SetIpBind. Executing a manipulation of the argument page can lead to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.

OpenClaw before 2026.4.22 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the Zalo plugin's sendPhoto function that fails to validate outbound photo URLs through the SSRF guard. Attackers can bypass SSRF protection by providing malicious photo URLs to the Zalo Bot API, enabling unauthorized access to internal resources.
OpenClaw before 2026.4.22 contains an exec allowlist analysis vulnerability allowing shell expansion hiding in unquoted heredoc bodies. Attackers can bypass allowlist validation by embedding shell expansion tokens in heredoc bodies to execute unapproved commands at runtime.
