Cisco UCS and UCS-Based Appliances UEFI Shell Secure Boot Bypass Vulnerability

Cisco disclosed a UEFI Secure Boot bypass in UCS servers and UCS-based appliances letting authenticated or physically present attackers execute unauthorized software.

Cisco published an advisory for a vulnerability in the UEFI Shell implementation of UCS servers and UCS-based appliances. Memory write commands remain available in the UEFI Shell while Secure Boot is enabled, allowing an attacker to modify UEFI memory and bypass validation checks to run unauthorized software. Exploitation requires either valid credentials for a user or admin account, or unauthenticated physical access to select the UEFI Shell boot option at boot time. The issue affects firmware boot integrity rather than the running operating system.

Debian 13.7 ships the fixes behind 92 security advisories, updates 106 packages

Debian 13.7 'trixie' point release bundles 92 security advisories and 106 package updates, including kernel, glibc, u-boot and qemu fixes.

Debian shipped version 13.7 of 'trixie', folding in 92 previously published security advisories and corrections to 106 source packages, including six Linux kernel advisories (DSA-6381, DSA-6393, DSA-6405, DSA-6415, DSA-6466, DSA-6477). glibc fixes a buffer overflow (CVE-2026-5928) and buffer underflow (CVE-2026-5450), with 17 packages rebuilt against the updated library; qemu carries 25 CVEs including a secure boot bypass (CVE-2026-16288), imagemagick 24, wolfssl 15 and perl 13. Boot-chain fixes include a u-boot FIT image verification bypass (CVE-2026-46728), a BOOTP/DHCP buffer overread (CVE-2024-42040), and corrected intermediate certificate verification in sbsigntool. The installer was rebuilt with kernel ABI 6.12.107+deb13, and existing systems receive the fixes through normal package mirror updates.

USN-8758-1: dracut vulnerability

Ubuntu patches dracut CVE-2026-15816, where a rogue adjacent-network DHCP server can inject root-executed commands during boot-failure handling.

Ubuntu security notice USN-8758-1 fixes CVE-2026-15816 in dracut, where messages written by the die() function to the emergency hook directory are not properly shell-quoted. An attacker on an adjacent network controlling a rogue DHCP server could exploit this to inject commands executing as root during boot-failure handling. Users should apply the patched dracut package.

CareCam CM2507

CISA advisory: seven flaws in CareCam CM2507 IP cameras enable unauthenticated live video access, privileged ONVIF control, credential recovery, and code execution.

CISA advisory ICSA-26-258-08 discloses seven vulnerabilities in CareCam HMT.CM2507 IP cameras running firmware v251211.1507. Issues include missing authentication for network video streaming (CVE-2026-88259, CVSS 3.1 7.5), an empty password on a privileged ONVIF account (CVE-2026-84398), weak legacy hashing of the root password (CVE-2026-85497, CVSS 4.0 9.3 critical), and cleartext storage of Wi-Fi credentials (CVE-2026-81321). Physical-access flaws allow arbitrary code execution from scripts on removable media (CVE-2026-81305) and unauthenticated bootloader access (CVE-2026-85478). The cameras are deployed worldwide in commercial facilities.

Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Software Authentication Bypass Vulnerability

Cisco warns of a critical authentication bypass in Secure Firewall Management Center that lets unauthenticated attackers execute scripts and obtain root access.

A vulnerability in the web interface of Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) Software allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication and execute script files on an affected device to obtain root access to the underlying operating system. The flaw stems from an improper system process created at boot time and is triggered via crafted HTTP requests. If the FMC management interface does not have public internet access, the attack surface is limited.

Microsoft: Windows Server 2025 changes causing app crashes

Microsoft warns Windows Server 2025 memory-management changes crash AWE apps, including SQL Server with Lock Pages in Memory; disable LPIM as workaround.

Microsoft confirmed a known issue where Windows Server 2025 memory-management changes cause access violations, memory corruption, or unexpected termination in applications using Address Windowing Extensions (AWE). SQL Server running with the Lock Pages in Memory (LPIM) policy is affected, with symptoms including 0xC0000005 access violations, DBCC CHECKDB failures, crash dumps, and services stopping or restarting unexpectedly. Microsoft's temporary workaround is to disable the LPIM policy for the SQL Server service account or disable AWE in other affected apps, with a permanent fix promised in a future Windows update.
