A vulnerability that allows intercepting TCP connections established through VPN tunnels.

An attack technique (CVE-2019-14899) has been published, allowing packets in TCP connections passed through VPN tunnels to be spoofed, altered, or substituted. The issue affects Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Android, macOS, iOS, and other Unix-like systems.

Multiple vulnerabilities in OpenBSD

Experts from Qualys Labs discovered several security issues related to the possibility of fooling the programs responsible for password verification mechanisms used in BSD (similar to PAM). The trick lies in passing the username "-schallenge" or "-schallenge:passwd", which is then interpreted not as a username but as an option. After that, the system accepts any password. Vulnerable, i.e., ultimately allowing unauthorized access, […]
