USN-5473-2: ca-certificates update USN-5473-1 updated ca-certificates. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. Original advisory details: The ca-certificates package contained outdated CA certificates. This update refreshes the included certificates to those contained in the 2.50 version of the Mozilla certificate authority bundle. Source: USN-5473-2: ca-certificates update

USN-5515-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities Eric Biederman discovered that the cgroup process migration implementation in the Linux kernel did not perform permission checks correctly in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to gain administrative privileges. (CVE-2021-4197) Jann Horn discovered that the FUSE file system in the Linux kernel contained 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-2022-1011) Duoming Zhou discovered that the 6pack protocol implementation in the Linux kernel did not handle detach events properly in some situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-1198) Duoming Zhou discovered that the AX.25 amateur radio protocol implementation in the Linux kernel did not handle detach events properly in some situations. A local [ more… ]

USN-5514-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities It was discovered that the implementation of the 6pack and mkiss protocols in the Linux kernel did not handle detach events properly in some situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-1195) Duoming Zhou discovered that the AX.25 amateur radio protocol implementation in the Linux kernel did not handle detach events properly in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1199) Duoming Zhou discovered race conditions in the AX.25 amateur radio protocol implementation in the Linux kernel during device detach operations. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-1204) Duoming Zhou discovered race conditions in the AX.25 amateur radio protocol [ more… ]

USN-5513-1: Linux kernel (AWS) vulnerabilities Norbert Slusarek discovered a race condition in the CAN BCM networking protocol of the Linux kernel leading to multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities. A local attacker could use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3609) Likang Luo discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem of 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-2021-3752) It was discovered that the NFC subsystem in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability in its NFC Controller Interface (NCI) implementation. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3760) Szymon Heidrich discovered that the USB Gadget subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict the size of [ more… ]

USN-5511-1: Git vulnerabilities Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón discovered that an issue related to CVE-2022-24765 still affected Git. An attacker could possibly use this issue to run arbitrary commands as administrator. (CVE-2022-29187) Source: USN-5511-1: Git vulnerabilities
