USN-5749-1: libsamplerate vulnerability Erik de Castro Lopo and Agostino Sarubbo discovered that libsamplerate did not properly perform bounds checking. If a user were tricked into processing a specially crafted audio file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash. Source: USN-5749-1: libsamplerate vulnerability

USN-5728-3: Linux kernel (GCP) vulnerabilities Jann Horn discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly track memory allocations for anonymous VMA mappings in some situations, leading to potential data structure reuse. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-42703) It was discovered that a race condition existed in the memory address space accounting implementation in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-41222) It was discovered that a race condition existed in the instruction emulator of the Linux kernel on Arm 64-bit systems. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-20422) It was discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux [ more… ]

USN-5745-2: shadow regression USN-5745-1 fixed vulnerabilities in shadow. Unfortunately that update introduced a regression that caused useradd to behave incorrectly in Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. This update reverts the security fix pending further investigation. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory details: Florian Weimer discovered that shadow was not properly copying and removing user directory trees, which could lead to a race condition. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to setup a symlink attack and alter or remove directories without authorization. Source: USN-5745-2: shadow regression

USN-5748-1: Sysstat vulnerability It was discovered that Sysstat incorrectly handled certain arithmetic multiplications. An attacker could use this issue to cause Sysstat to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. Source: USN-5748-1: Sysstat vulnerability
