Fire your Fly Swatter! The BUG-A-SALT insect eradication device was conceived of and invented by Lorenzo Maggiore. The pump-action salt gun generates a miniaturized shotgun effect through ingenious design. Utilizing ordinary table salt as a lethal, non-toxic projectile, BUG-A-SALT defeats pesky, soft-bodied insects with an accuracy range within 3 feet. The salt stuns and dehydrates the bugs, so they remain whole for easy cleanup. Developing a device that strategically kills disgusting, pesky flies in an easy-to-clean, fun way hasn’t been easy. A brief recap of the BUG-A-SALT product launch and major milestones below: - After working on the BUG-A-SALT for decades, in 2012, Lorenzo is "officially"​ granted an "Official Patent of Invention"​ - May 2012, Lorenzo created a BUG-A-SALT video telling the story of his journey. - July 2012, the BUG-A-SALT pre-sale launched on Indiegogo.com crowd-funding site. - The BUG-A-SALT video debuted on YOUTUBE, quickly went viral and attracted press, bloggers and customers worldwide. - October 2012, The Wall Street Journal ran a front-page article featuring the BUG-A-SALT and Lorenzo. - By the end of 2012, Lorenzo took orders for over 20,000 units and raised over $577,000 via pre-sales. - 2014, BUG-A-SALT launched its first TV Commercial, and a rapid increase in sales followed. - 2015, BUG-A-SALT debuted a new, improved version of the product: BUG-A-SALT 2.0 - 2017, BUG-A-SALT begins to sell a laser sight attachment, the BUG-BEAM. - 2018, design and function are further refined with the introduction of the 3.0 BLACK FLY EDITION. Pity the fly!

Description

Angular is a development platform for building mobile and desktop web applications using TypeScript/JavaScript and other languages. Prior to versions 19.2.16, 20.3.14, and 21.0.1, there is a XSRF token leakage via protocol-relative URLs in angular HTTP clients. The vulnerability is a Credential Leak by App Logic that leads to the unauthorized disclosure of the Cross-Site Request Forgery (XSRF) token to an attacker-controlled domain. Angular's HttpClient has a built-in XSRF protection mechanism that works by checking if a request URL starts with a protocol (http:// or https://) to determine if it is cross-origin. If the URL starts with protocol-relative URL (//), it is incorrectly treated as a same-origin request, and the XSRF token is automatically added to the X-XSRF-TOKEN header. This issue has been patched in versions 19.2.16, 20.3.14, and 21.0.1. A workaround for this issue involves avoiding using protocol-relative URLs (URLs starting with //) in HttpClient requests. All backend communication URLs should be hardcoded as relative paths (starting with a single /) or fully qualified, trusted absolute URLs.

Description

Forge (also called `node-forge`) is a native implementation of Transport Layer Security in JavaScript. An Uncontrolled Recursion vulnerability in node-forge versions 1.3.1 and below enables remote, unauthenticated attackers to craft deep ASN.1 structures that trigger unbounded recursive parsing. This leads to a Denial-of-Service (DoS) via stack exhaustion when parsing untrusted DER inputs. This issue has been patched in version 1.3.2.

Description

Forge (also called `node-forge`) is a native implementation of Transport Layer Security in JavaScript. An Integer Overflow vulnerability in node-forge versions 1.3.1 and below enables remote, unauthenticated attackers to craft ASN.1 structures containing OIDs with oversized arcs. These arcs may be decoded as smaller, trusted OIDs due to 32-bit bitwise truncation, enabling the bypass of downstream OID-based security decisions. This issue has been patched in version 1.3.2.

Description

Suricata is a network IDS, IPS and NSM engine developed by the OISF (Open Information Security Foundation) and the Suricata community. Prior to versions 7.0.13 and 8.0.2, working with large buffers in Lua scripts can lead to a stack overflow. Users of Lua rules and output scripts may be affected when working with large buffers. This includes a rule passing a large buffer to a Lua script. This issue has been patched in versions 7.0.13 and 8.0.2. A workaround for this issue involves disabling Lua rules and output scripts, or making sure limits, such as stream.depth.reassembly and HTTP response body limits (response-body-limit), are set to less than half the stack size.
