A critical buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in the ENC28J60 Ethernet driver, where incoming packet data was copied into a fixed-size buffer without validating the packet's self-reported length. On embedded systems lacking ASLR, this flaw could allow an attacker on the same network segment to craft a malicious Ethernet frame and achieve arbitrary code execution. The fix introduces proper bounds checking before the memcpy operation, closing a highly reliable attack vector on constraine
A medium-severity vulnerability was discovered in a JavaScript streaming application where insecure WebSocket (ws://) connections were being used instead of secure WebSocket (wss://) connections. This security gap could expose sensitive data to man-in-the-middle attacks, allowing attackers to intercept and manipulate real-time communication between clients and servers.
