USN-5121-1: Mailman vulnerabilities Andre Protas, Richard Cloke, and Andy Nuttall discovered that Mailman did not properly associate cross-site request forgery (CSRF) tokens to specific accounts. A remote attacker could use this to perform a CSRF attack to gain access to another account. (CVE-2021-42097) Andre Protas, Richard Cloke, and Andy Nuttall discovered that Mailman’s cross-site request forgery (CSRF) tokens for the options page are derived from the admin password. A remote attacker could possibly use this to assist in performing a brute force attack against the admin password. (CVE-2021-42096) Source: USN-5121-1: Mailman vulnerabilities

USN-5116-2: Linux kernel vulnerabilities It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Atheros Ath9k WiFi driver in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (WiFi network traffic). (CVE-2020-3702) Alois Wohlschlager discovered that the overlay file system in the Linux kernel did not restrict private clones in some situations. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2021-3732) It was discovered that the KVM hypervisor implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly compute the access permissions for shadow pages in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2021-38198) It was discovered that the Xilinx 10/100 Ethernet Lite device driver in the Linux kernel could report pointer addresses in some situations. An attacker could use this information to ease the exploitation of another vulnerability. (CVE-2021-38205) [ more… ]
