USN-6086-1: minimatch vulnerability It was discovered that minimatch incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

USN-6085-1: Linux kernel (Raspberry Pi) vulnerabilities It was discovered that some AMD x86-64 processors with SMT enabled could speculatively execute instructions using a return address from a sibling thread. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-27672) Zheng Wang discovered that the Intel i915 graphics driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a double-free. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-3707) Jordy Zomer and Alexandra Sandulescu discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly implement speculative execution barriers in usercopy functions in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-0459) It was discovered that the TLS subsystem in the Linux kernel contained a type confusion vulnerability in some situations. A local attacker could [ more… ]

USN-6084-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities Jordy Zomer and Alexandra Sandulescu discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly implement speculative execution barriers in usercopy functions in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-0459) Xingyuan Mo discovered that the x86 KVM implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize some data structures. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-1513) It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the iSCSI TCP implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-2162) It was discovered that the NET/ROM protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition in some situations, leading to a use- after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial [ more… ]

USN-6083-1: cups-filters vulnerability It was discovered that cups-filters incorrectly handled the beh CUPS backend. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the backend to stop responding or to execute arbitrary code. Source: USN-6083-1: cups-filters vulnerability

USN-6050-2: Git vulnerabilities USN-6050-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Git. This update provides the corresponding updates for CVE-2023-25652 and CVE-2023-29007 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Original advisory details: It was discovered that Git incorrectly handled certain commands. An attacker could possibly use this issue to overwrite paths. (CVE-2023-25652) André Baptista and Vítor Pinho discovered that Git incorrectly handled certain configurations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to achieve arbitrary configuration injection.
