USN-5753-1: snapd vulnerability The Qualys Research Team discovered that a race condition existed in the snapd snap-confine binary when preparing the private /tmp mount for a snap. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code. Source: USN-5753-1: snapd vulnerability

USN-5752-1: Linux kernel (Azure CVM) vulnerabilities David Bouman and Billy Jheng Bing Jhong discovered that a race condition existed in the io_uring subsystem 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-2022-2602) Sönke Huster discovered that an integer overflow vulnerability existed in the WiFi driver stack in the Linux kernel, leading to a buffer overflow. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-41674) Sönke Huster discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the WiFi driver stack in the Linux kernel. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-42719) Sönke Huster discovered that the [ more… ]
