USN-4487-1: libx11 vulnerabilities Todd Carson discovered that libx11 incorrectly handled certain memory operations. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to escalate privileges. (CVE-2020-14344) Jayden Rivers discovered that libx11 incorrectly handled locales. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to escalate privileges. (CVE-2020-14363) Source: USN-4487-1: libx11 vulnerabilities

USN-4484-1: Linux kernel vulnerability It was discovered that the cgroup v2 subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly perform reference counting in some situations, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly gain administrative privileges. (CVE-2020-14356) Source: USN-4484-1: Linux kernel vulnerability

USN-4486-1: Linux kernel vulnerability Wen Xu discovered that the XFS filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate meta-data information. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious xfs image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash). Source: USN-4486-1: Linux kernel vulnerability

USN-4485-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities Timothy Michaud discovered that the i915 graphics driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate user memory locations for the i915_gem_execbuffer2_ioctl. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-20669) It was discovered that the Kvaser CAN/USB driver in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in certain situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2019-19947) Chuhong Yuan discovered that go7007 USB audio device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in some failure conditions. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-20810) It was discovered that the elf handling code in the Linux kernel did not initialize memory before using it in certain situations. A local [ more… ]
