Windows 10/11: Ncat: A message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message buffer ... Ken Kayser (Feb 20)
*Describe the bug*
When listening to a port with ncat, as soon as a UDP packet is received, I
receive a constant stream of errors with the following text: "Ncat: A
message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message
buffer or some other network limit, or the buffer used to receive a
datagram into was smaller than the datagram itself. ."

*To Reproduce*

Reverse DNS (issue #3007) Matteo Nicoli (Feb 13)
Hi all,

I noticed a cool feature proposal on GitHub (issue 3007 <https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/3007>). It basically
suggests a new feature for returning the (complete) list of DNS records obtained — through reverse DNS lookups — from
an IP address. If it matches with the map product roadmap, I’d like to start implementing it. Is there some maintainer
who could give me a brief feedback about it?

Cheers,
Matteo

Re: Mail stoppage Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Feb 12)
Yes, this was my fault. Mail to the Nmap dev list from non-subscribers
goes through moderation to keep out the spam. I regularly go through the
moderation queue to find and approve the "real" messages, but I was a bit
slow this time. We strongly recommend that folks posting to the list first
subscribe to it. This avoids the moderation delay and prevents them from
missing any responses which might only be sent to the list.

Cheers,...

PR #2954, Fix out of bounds reads in packet parsing Domen Puncer Kugler via dev (Feb 12)
Hi,

I've submitted a pull request a few months ago:
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/2954

The PR includes following three commits:
- Fix out of bounds read in HopByHopHeader::validate
- Fix out of bounds read in PacketParser::split
- Add AFL test code for PacketParser

This was found as a part of a short Hackathon at NCC Group.
As far as I can tell, there is no security impact, but it would still be nice
to see this fixed.

Kind regards

High-Priority HTML Parsing script astrotoki via dev (Feb 12)
Hello,

I noticed that under the high priority script ideas was the need for a library that parses HTML info from sites. I
wrote a script that uses a web crawler and extracts html info from attached pages and accompanying urls within the html
body. Let me know if this is what yall were after?

Thanks!

Re: Netgear Router Administrative Web Interface Lacks Transport Encryption By Default Gynvael Coldwind (Feb 17)
Hi,

This isn't really a problem a vendor can solve in firmware (apart from
offering configuration via cloud, which has its own issues).
Even if they would enable TLS/SSL by default, it would just give one a
false sense of security, since:
- the certificates would be invalid (public CAs don't give out certs for IP
addresses),
- they would be easy to clone (due to being self-signed and/or being easy
to extract from a similar device),

Re: (the root of the root and the bud of the bud) Sean Heelan via Dailydave (Jan 13)
As it happens, I’ve found the most effective way to use LLMs is to de-anthropomorphise them entirely and treat them
very like fuzzers (large scale generation of results, lots of false positives/nonsense, filtered by some oracle).

is (currently at least) practically far less useful than one in which you are content with...

environment variable and command-line argument based vulnerabilities. But,

Hey,

I have one quibble: We are using "reasoning" in a qualitative, not
descriptive, form here -- "fuzzing is or is not reasoning", "LLMs reason or
do not reason". I am not sure this is helpful. Fuzzing is empirically
successful at finding crashes. Somebody that needs to light a fire and
smashes two stones together until they throw sparks does not, once the fire
burns, need to justify that 'stones perform...

Memories and thoughts are the same thing, someone tried to explain to me

wrongly think memory is a noun instead of a verb, which is ok in philosophy

deadlock potential with VT-d and legacy PCI device pass-through

ISSUE DESCRIPTION
=================

When setting up interrupt remapping for legacy PCI(-X) devices,
including PCI(-X) bridges, a lookup of the upstream bridge is required.
This lookup, itself involving acquiring of a lock, is done in a context
where acquiring that lock is unsafe. This can lead to a deadlock.

Hi Dmitry,

Thank you for taking a look at this.

It's OK to keep it. This really shouldn't matter.

Of course, we shouldn't pass NULL pointers to sprintf-like functions.
But if the first asprintf() call returns other than -1, the pointer is
supposed to be non-NULL. And if we somehow don't trust asprintf()
return value (even though it's standardized, unlike what happens to the
pointer on error), then the check for NULL...

Dear Alexander,
Thank you for your efforts!

This is relevant, thank you!

I'm not sure that the check for the src == NULL should be removed at least
for the 1st branch.
Unfortunately I came across implementations that caused segfault on passing
NULL pointers to sprintf-like functions.

Hi,

Thank you Qualys for the very interesting research, as is usual from you.

I didn't go as far as CodeQL, but I also did some semi-manual auditing:

and then search for goto. I did this against patched OpenSSH source

to spot any issues there may be specific to this older base OpenSSH

I agree that "p.dirtside.com" is a subdomain. Recheck what I said.
It's not a domain name, no more so than "sdkflkdfgfsgdfg". That's the
contradiction.

It gets worse. Is "cat.p.dirtside.com" a subdomain? It's definitely a

Hi Jay,

Not necessarily.

Remember my example cat.p.dirtside.com? P.dirtside.com is a subdomain
of dirtside.com. It's an administrative grouping of domain names that
have a particular characteristic. However, p.dirtside.com is NOT a
domain name. It has no DNS records of its own. Only subsidiaries like
cat.p.dirtside.com exist and have DNS records.

"Subdomain" has some funky contradictions to it, some of which can
only be resolved...
