USN-4919-1: OpenSLP vulnerability It was discovered that OpenSLP did not properly validate URLs. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause OpenSLP to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. Source: USN-4919-1: OpenSLP vulnerability

USN-4918-1: ClamAV vulnerabilities It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled parsing Excel documents. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ClamAV to hang, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2021-1252) It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled parsing PDF documents. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2021-1404) It was discovered that ClamAV incorrectly handled parsing email. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2021-1405) Source: USN-4918-1: ClamAV vulnerabilities

USN-4917-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities It was discovered that the overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the application of file system capabilities with respect to user namespaces. A local attacker could use this to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2021-3493) Vincent Dehors discovered that the shiftfs file system in the Ubuntu Linux kernel did not properly handle faults in copy_from_user() when passing through ioctls to an underlying file system. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3492) Piotr Krysiuk discovered that the BPF JIT compiler for x86 in the Linux kernel did not properly validate computation of branch displacements in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-29154) Source: USN-4917-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

USN-4916-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities It was discovered that the overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the application of file system capabilities with respect to user namespaces. A local attacker could use this to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2021-3493) Piotr Krysiuk discovered that the BPF JIT compiler for x86 in the Linux kernel did not properly validate computation of branch displacements in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-29154) Source: USN-4916-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

USN-4915-1: Linux kernel (OEM) vulnerabilities It was discovered that the overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the application of file system capabilities with respect to user namespaces. A local attacker could use this to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2021-3493) Vincent Dehors discovered that the shiftfs file system in the Ubuntu Linux kernel did not properly handle faults in copy_from_user() when passing through ioctls to an underlying file system.
