USN-5506-1: NSS vulnerabilities Tavis Ormandy discovered that NSS incorrectly handled an empty pkcs7 sequence. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause NSS to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 21.10. (CVE-2022-22747) Ronald Crane discovered that NSS incorrectly handled certain memory operations. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause NSS to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-34480) Source: USN-5506-1: NSS vulnerabilities

USN-5505-1: Linux kernel 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 control [ more… ]
