Original advisory details: James Kettle discovered that the Apache HTTP Server HTTP/2 module incorrectly handled certain crafted methods. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform request splitting or cache poisoning attacks. (CVE-2021-33193) It was discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled certain malformed requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the server to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2021-34798) Li Zhi Xin discovered that the Apache mod_proxy_uwsgi module incorrectly handled certain request uri-paths. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the server to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu [ more… ]

USN-5092-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

2021-09-28 KENNETH 0

USN-5092-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities Valentina Palmiotti discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel could be coerced to free adjacent memory. A local attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-41073) Ofek Kirzner, Adam Morrison, Benedict Schlueter, and Piotr Krysiuk discovered that the BPF verifier in the Linux kernel missed possible mispredicted branches due to type confusion, allowing a side-channel attack. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2021-33624) Benedict Schlueter discovered that the BPF subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly protect against Speculatively Store Bypass (SSB) side- channel attacks in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information.
