USN-5544-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities It was discovered that the Atheros ath9k wireless device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle some error conditions, 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-2022-1679) Felix Fu discovered that the Sun RPC implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle socket states, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-28893) Arthur Mongodin discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly perform data validation. A local attacker could use this to escalate privileges in certain situations. (CVE-2022-34918) Minh Yuan discovered that the floppy disk driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading [ more… ]

USN-5543-1: Net-SNMP vulnerabilities Yu Zhang and Nanyu Zhong discovered that Net-SNMP incorrectly handled memory operations when processing certain requests. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Net-SNMP to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. Source: USN-5543-1: Net-SNMP vulnerabilities
