2025-02: Out-of-Cycle Security Bulletin: Session Smart Router, Session Smart Conductor, WAN Assurance Router: API Authentication Bypass Vulnerability (CVE-2025-21589)

Wed, 19 Feb 2025 16:52:08 +0000

This issue affects Session Smart Router, Session Smart Conductor, WAN Assurance Managed Router. Severity Critical Severity Assessment (CVSS) Score CVSS: v3.1: 9.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) SEVERITY:CRITICAL CVSS: v4.0: 9.3 (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) SEVERITY:CRITICAL Problem An Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel vulnerability in Juniper Networks Session Smart Router may allow a network-based attacker to bypass authentication and take administrative control of the device. This issue affects Session Smart Router: from 5.6.7 before 5.6.17, from 6.0.8, from 6.1 before 6.1.12-lts, from 6.2 before 6.2.8-lts, from 6.3 before 6.3.3-r2; This issue affects Session Smart Conductor: from 5.6.7 before 5.6.17, from 6.0.8, from 6.1 before 6.1.12-lts, from 6.2 before 6.2.8-lts, from 6.3 before 6.3.3-r2; This issue affects WAN Assurance Managed Routers: from 5.6.7 before 5.6.17, from 6.0.8, from 6.1 before 6.1.12-lts, from 6.2 before 6.2.8-lts, from 6.3 before 6.3.3-r2. Juniper SIRT is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability. This issue was found during internal product security testing or research Solution The following software releases have been updated to resolve this issue: Session Smart Router: SSR-5.6.17, SSR-6.1.12-lts, SSR-6.2.8-lts, SSR-6.3.3-r2 and subsequent releases. It is suggested to upgrade all affected systems to one of these versions of software. In a Conductor-managed deployment, it is sufficient to upgrade only the Conductor nodes and the fix will be applied automatically to all connected routers. As practical, the routers should still be upgraded to a fixed version however they will not be vulnerable once they connect to an upgraded Conductor. Router patching can be confirmed once the router reaches the “running" (on 6.2 and earlier) or “synchronized” (on 6.3+) state on the Conductor". This vulnerability has been patched automatically on devices that operate with WAN Assurance (where configuration is also managed) connected to the Mist Cloud. As practical, the routers should still be upgraded to a version containing the fix. It is important to note that when the fix is applied automatically on routers managed by a Conductor or on WAN assurance, it will have no impact on data-plane functions of the router. The application of the fix is non-disruptive to production traffic. There may be a momentary downtime (less than 30 seconds) to the web-based management and APIs. This issue is being tracked as I95-59677. Note: Juniper SIRT's policy is not to evaluate releases which are beyond End of Engineering (EOE) or End of Life (EOL). Workaround There are no known workarounds for this issue.

securityonline.info - Chrome Update Addresses High-Severity Vulnerability: CVE-2025-0291

# Chrome Update Addresses High-Severity Vulnerability: CVE-2025-0291 Ref: [https://securityonline.info/chrome-update-addresses-high-severity-vulnerability-cve-2025-0291/](https://securityonline.info/chrome-update-addresses-high-severity-vulnerability-cve-2025-0291/) Google has just released a critical security update for its Chrome web browser, addressing a high-severity vulnerability that could leave users open to attack. The update, rolling out to Windows, Mac, and Linux users over the next few days, patches a “Type Confusion” flaw in V8, the JavaScript engine that powers Chrome. This vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-0291, was discovered by security researcher Popax21 and reported to Google on December 11th, 2024. Type Confusion vulnerabilities are particularly dangerous as they can allow attackers to execute malicious code on a user’s system. This can lead to a range of consequences, from data theft and system crashes to complete takeover of the affected device. Google has awarded a bounty of $55,000 to Popax21 for the discovery and responsible disclosure of the bug. Type Confusion vulnerabilities occur when a program mistakenly treats data as a different type than originally intended. In the context of V8, this can lead to out-of-bounds memory access, allowing attackers to manipulate memory, crash the browser, or execute arbitrary code. Such vulnerabilities are often exploited in sophisticated attacks, making their timely resolution critical for user safety. Google urges all users to update their Chrome browsers to the latest version (131.0.6778.264/.265 for Windows and Mac, 131.0.6778.264 for Linux) as soon as possible. Here’s how: 1. **Open Chrome.** 2. **Click the three vertical dots** in the top right corner. 3. Go to **Help > About Google Chrome.** 4. Chrome will automatically **check for updates** and install the latest version. 5. **Relaunch Chrome** to complete the update. ### Related Posts: * [New Chrome 0-Day Bug Under Active Attack](https://securityonline.info/cve-2022-4262-chrome-0-day-vulnerability/) * [New WiFi Flaw Leaves All Devices Vulnerable to ‘SSID Confusion’ Attacks](https://securityonline.info/cve-2023-52424-new-wifi-flaw-leaves-all-devices-vulnerable-to-ssid-confusion-attacks/) * [Chrome will no longer flag HTTPS pages as secure sites](https://securityonline.info/chrome-will-no-longer-flag-https-pages-as-secure-sites/)

7-Zip File Manager didn't propagate Zone.Identifier stream for extracted files from nested archives

~~~ 24.09 2024-11-29 ------------------------- - The default dictionary size values for LZMA/LZMA2 compression methods were increased: dictionary size compression level v24.08 v24.09 v24.09 32-bit 64-bit 8 MB 16 MB 16 MB -mx4 16 MB 32 MB 32 MB -mx5 : Normal 32 MB 64 MB 64 MB -mx6 32 MB 64 MB 128 MB -mx7 : Maximum 64 MB 64 MB 256 MB -mx8 64 MB 64 MB 256 MB -mx9 : Ultra The default dictionary size values for 32-bit versions of LZMA/LZMA2 don't exceed 64 MB. - 7-Zip now can calculate the following hash checksums: SHA-512, SHA-384, SHA3-256 and MD5. - APM and HFS support was improved. - If an archive update operation uses a temporary archive folder and the archive is moved to the destination folder, 7-Zip shows the progress of moving the archive file, as this operation can take a long time if the archive is large. - The bug was fixed: 7-Zip File Manager didn't propagate Zone.Identifier stream for extracted files from nested archives (if there is open archive inside another open archive). - Some bugs were fixed. ~~~ [https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/b95432c7ac/](https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/b95432c7ac/)
