USN-5641-1: Squid vulnerabilities Mikhail Evdokimov discovered that Squid incorrectly handled cache manager ACLs. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-41317) It was discovered that Squid incorrectly handled SSPI and SMB authentication. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2022-41318) Source: USN-5641-1: Squid vulnerabilities

USN-5640-1: Linux kernel (Oracle) vulnerabilities It was discovered that the framebuffer driver on the Linux kernel did not verify size limits when changing font or screen size, leading to an out-of- bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-33655) Duoming Zhou discovered that race conditions existed in the timer handling implementation of the Linux kernel’s Rose X.25 protocol layer, resulting in use-after-free vulnerabilities. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-2318) Roger Pau Monné discovered that the Xen virtual block driver in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory pages to be used for shared communication with the backend. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (guest kernel memory). (CVE-2022-26365) Roger Pau Monné discovered that [ more… ]

USN-5639-1: Linux kernel (Azure CVM) vulnerabilities It was discovered that the framebuffer driver on the Linux kernel did not verify size limits when changing font or screen size, leading to an out-of- bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-33655) Moshe Kol, Amit Klein and Yossi Gilad discovered that the IP implementation in the Linux kernel did not provide sufficient randomization when calculating port offsets. An attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-1012, CVE-2022-32296) Norbert Slusarek discovered that a race condition existed in the perf subsystem in the Linux kernel, resulting in a use-after-free vulnerability. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1729) It was discovered that the device-mapper verity [ more… ]

USN-5638-1: Expat vulnerability Rhodri James discovered that Expat incorrectly handled memory when processing certain malformed XML files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash or execute arbitrary code. Source: USN-5638-1: Expat vulnerability

USN-5637-1: libvpx vulnerability It was discovered that libvpx incorrectly handled certain WebM media files. A remote attacker could use this issue to crash an application using libvpx under certain conditions, resulting in a denial of service. Source: USN-5637-1: libvpx vulnerability
