USN-5301-2: Cyrus SASL vulnerability USN-5301-1 fixed a vulnerability in Cyrus. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. Original advisory details: It was discovered that the Cyrus SASL SQL plugin incorrectly handled SQL input. A remote attacker could use this issue to execute arbitrary SQL commands.

USN-5300-1: PHP vulnerabilities It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain scripts. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-9253, CVE-2017-8923, CVE-2017-9118, CVE-2017-9120) It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain inputs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2017-9119) It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain scripts with XML parsing functions. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information.

USN-5299-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities Mathy Vanhoef discovered that the Linux kernel’s WiFi implementation could reassemble mixed encrypted and plaintext fragments. A physically proximate attacker could possibly use this issue to inject packets or exfiltrate selected fragments. (CVE-2020-26147) It was discovered that the bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly perform access control. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-26558, CVE-2021-0129) It was discovered that the RPA PCI Hotplug driver implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle device name writes via sysfs, leading to a buffer overflow. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-28972) It was discovered that a use-after-free existed in the Bluetooth HCI driver of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a [ more… ]

USN-5298-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities It was discovered that the Packet network protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained a double-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-22600) Jürgen Groß discovered that the Xen subsystem within the Linux kernel did not adequately limit the number of events driver domains (unprivileged PV backends) could send to other guest VMs. An attacker in a driver domain could use this to cause a denial of service in other guest VMs. (CVE-2021-28711, CVE-2021-28712, CVE-2021-28713) Jürgen Groß discovered that the Xen network backend driver in the Linux kernel did not adequately limit the amount of queued packets when a guest did not process them. An attacker in a guest VM can use this to cause a denial of service (excessive kernel memory [ more… ]
