Siemens Reyrolle 7SR5

CISA advisory covers 14 vulnerabilities, CVSS 9.8, in Siemens Reyrolle 7SR5 energy-sector protection relays before V2.70.

CISA advisory ICSA-26-258-05 covers 14 vulnerabilities in Siemens Reyrolle 7SR5 protection relays before V2.70, used in the energy sector worldwide, with aggregate CVSS v3 of 9.8. Flaws include Cesanta Mongoose web server issues (CVE-2024-42384 through CVE-2024-42392) and new bugs such as web-interface session-ID exposure enabling authentication bypass (CVE-2026-62645, CVSS 9.8), predictable session tokens (CVE-2026-62646, CVE-2026-62647), and pre-auth out-of-bounds writes (CVE-2026-62648). Siemens has released V2.70 and recommends updating to the latest version.

Critical VMware Workstation and Fusion Flaw Lets VM Admins Execute Host Code

Broadcom patched two VMware Workstation and Fusion flaws, including critical integer overflow CVE-2026-59346 (CVSS 9.3), letting guest admins execute host code; no exploitation seen.

Broadcom released updates fixing CVE-2026-59346 (CVSS 9.3), an integer-overflow vulnerability allowing a malicious actor with local administrative privileges on a VM with a VMXNET3 adapter to execute code on the host, and CVE-2026-59347 (CVSS 8.1), a stack-based buffer overflow in HGFS allowing code execution as the host's VMX process. Both flaws affect VMware Workstation and Fusion 25H2 and 26H1, have no workarounds, and are fixed in Workstation 26H1u1 and Fusion 26H1u1. No in-the-wild exploitation has been observed, though VMware vCenter flaws CVE-2026-59309 and CVE-2026-59310, the latter suspected of China-nexus APT use, have recently breached 361 unique victim IPs across 47 countries.

Multiple VLC Media Player Vulnerabilities Allow Attackers to Corrupt or Read Heap Memory

Two VLC 3.0 flaws, CVE-2026-56711 (heap corruption, CVSS 8.6) and CVE-2026-73324 (memory leak), let crafted PNGs or RTSP playlists corrupt memory or leak data.

Hap Security researcher Fabian Wahle disclosed two VLC Media Player flaws on September 9, 2026, affecting versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.23. CVE-2026-56711 (CVSS 8.6) is an integer overflow and out-of-bounds write in the AllocatePicture function, exploitable via a crafted PNG with oversized IHDR dimensions, potentially causing crashes or code execution. CVE-2026-73324 (CVSS 6.9) lets a malicious RTSP server read adjacent heap memory through an unterminated 4096-byte response line, triggerable via a realrtsp playlist URL. No patched release is confirmed yet; users should avoid untrusted media files, playlists, and RTSP streams.

Broadcom Patches Critical VMware Workstation and Fusion VM

Broadcom patched critical VMware Workstation and Fusion VM-escape flaws CVE-2026-59346 (CVSS 9.3) and CVE-2026-59347 (CVSS 8.1); update to 26H1u1.

Advisory VMSA-2026-0007 fixes CVE-2026-59346 (CVSS 9.3), an integer overflow in the VMXNET3 virtual network adapter, and CVE-2026-59347 (CVSS 8.1), a stack-based buffer overflow in HGFS. A malicious actor with local administrative privileges inside a VM could execute code on the host in both cases. The flaws affect Workstation and Fusion 25H2 and 26H1 and are fixed in version 26H1u1 with no workarounds available. The bugs were reported independently by researchers working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative and by Tencent Xuanwu Lab.
