JBL Go 2 devices through 2021-08-09 allow remote attackers to recover speech signals from an LED on the device, via a telescope and an electro-optical sensor, aka a “Glowworm” attack. The power indicator LED of the speakers is connected directly to the power line, as a result, the intensity of a device’s power indicator LED is correlative to the power consumption. The sound played by the speakers affects their power consumption and as a result is also correlative to the light intensity of the LEDs. By analyzing measurements obtained from an electro-optical sensor directed at the power indicator LEDs of the speakers, we can recover the sound played by them.

CVE-2021-38549
MIRACASE MHUB500 USB splitters through 2021-08-09, in certain specific use cases in which the device supplies power to audio-output equipment, allow remote attackers to recover speech signals from an LED on the device, via a telescope and an electro-optical sensor, aka a “Glowworm” attack. We assume that the USB splitter supplies power to some speakers. The power indicator LED of the USB splitter is connected directly to the power line, as a result, the intensity of the USB splitter’s power indicator LED is correlative to its power consumption. The sound played by the connected speakers affects the USB splitter’s power consumption and as a result is also correlative to the light intensity of the LED. By analyzing measurements obtained from an electro-optical sensor directed at the power indicator LED of the USB splitter, we can recover the sound played by the connected speakers.
CVE-2021-38565
An issue was discovered in Foxit PDF Reader before 11.0.1 and PDF Editor before 11.0.1. It allows writing to arbitrary files via submitForm.
CVE-2021-38572
An issue was discovered in Foxit Reader and PhantomPDF before 10.1.4. It allows writing to arbitrary files because the extractPages pathname is not validated.
CVE-2021-38573
An issue was discovered in Foxit Reader and PhantomPDF before 10.1.4. It allows writing to arbitrary files because a CombineFiles pathname is not validated.
CVE-2021-38576
A BIOS bug in firmware for a particular PC model leaves the Platform authorization value empty. This can be used to permanently brick the TPM in multiple ways, as well as to non-permanently DoS the system.
