Cisco IOS XE Software Security Hardening Release

As part of Cisco's ongoing commitment to proactive security and product quality, the Cisco IOS XE Software engineering team has conducted a comprehensive internal security review. This review resulted in a software hardening release that addresses multiple internally discovered vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities tracked by CVE-2026-20273 are related to improper input validation issues that are grouped under the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) Pillar CWE-20.

drm/panthor: validate firmware interface structure sizes

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: validate firmware interface structure sizes iface_fw_to_cpu_addr() only checks that the firmware-provided MCU virtual address points inside the shared section. The returned pointer is later used as a full firmware interface structure, so accepting an address near the end of the shared section can still lead to out-of-bounds accesses. Pass the expected object size to iface_fw_to_cpu_addr() and reject ranges that do not fit entirely in the shared section.

.NET Core Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Out-of-bounds write in .NET allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.

Cisco RoomOS Logging Subsystem Information Disclosure Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the logging subsystem of Cisco RoomOS could allow an authenticated, local attacker with low privileges to access sensitive information. This vulnerability is due to the logging of sensitive information. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enabling a specific logging level and then collecting the system logs. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to view sensitive information like user login credentials.

ntfs: harden runlist realloc size calculations

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs: harden runlist realloc size calculations Add a shared helper to safely convert runlist element counts to byte sizes using overflow checks, and use it in both ntfs_rl_realloc() and ntfs_rl_realloc_nofail().

chromium-browser: Google Chrome Extensions: Arbitrary code execution via malicious extension installation

Use after free in Extensions in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.137 allowed an attacker who convinced a user to install a malicious extension to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted Chrome Extension. (Chromium security severity: High)

chromium-browser: Google Chrome: Arbitrary code execution via use after free in HTML

Use after free in HTML in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.137 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

chromium-browser: chromium-browser: Arbitrary code execution via use-after-free in V8

Use after free in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.137 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

chromium-browser: chromium-browser: Arbitrary code execution via use-after-free in Blink

Use after free in Blink in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.137 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

Null Pointer Dereference in HarmonyOS Image Codec Module

Null pointer dereference issue in the image codec module. Impact: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect availability.

Permission control vulnerability in the device key management module. Impact: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect availability.

Prevent GitHub CLI and extensions from executing arbitrary commands from compromised GitHub Enterprise Server

go-gh is a collection of Go modules to make authoring GitHub CLI extensions easier. A security vulnerability has been identified in versions prior to 2.12.1 where an attacker-controlled GitHub Enterprise Server could result in executing arbitrary commands on a user's machine by replacing HTTP URLs provided by GitHub with local file paths for browsing. In `2.12.1`, `Browser.Browse()` has been enhanced to allow and disallow a variety of scenarios to avoid opening or executing files on the filesystem without unduly impacting HTTP URLs. No known workarounds are available other than upgrading.

PowerShell Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Incorrect default permissions in Microsoft PowerShell allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Use‑After‑Free in HarmonyOS Time Module Can Crash Devices

UAF vulnerability in the time and time zone module. Impact: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect availability.

Clipboard Permission Control Weakness in Huawei HarmonyOS

Permission control vulnerability in the clipboard module. Impact: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect service confidentiality.

Insertion of sensitive information into log file in the subsystem for the Intel(R) AMT and Intel(R) Standard Manageability may allow an information disclosure. Network adversary with a privileged user combined with a high complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

Denial of Service via Improper Input Validation in Intel AMT Firmware

Improper input validation in some firmware for some Intel(R) Active Management Technology (Intel(R) AMT) and some Intel(R) Standard Manageability may allow a denial of service. Network adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

Browserslist: Uncaught crash / prototype write via untrusted browserslist-stats.json custom stats (normalizeStats)

Browserslist is a configuration tool for sharing target browsers and Node.js versions between front-end tools. Prior to 4.28.7, normalizeStats() in node.js, reached unconditionally through getStat() and loadStat() on every browserslist() call, processes untrusted browserslist-stats.json, opts.stats, and CLI --stats data with an unguarded for...in loop and plain-object bracket access and assignment, allowing inherited Object.prototype keys including __proto__, toString, valueOf, constructor, hasOwnProperty, and isPrototypeOf to cause an uncaught TypeError or modify the prototype of the returned normalized object. This issue is fixed in version 4.28.7.

Windows LUA File Virtualization Filter Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows LUAFV allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Windows Narrator Braille Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Untrusted search path in Windows Narrator Braille allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
