USN-5986-1: X.Org X Server vulnerability Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that the X.Org X Server incorrectly handled certain memory operations. An attacker could possibly use these issues to cause the X Server to crash, execute arbitrary code, or escalate privileges. Source: USN-5986-1: X.Org X Server vulnerability

USN-5985-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities It was discovered that the System V IPC implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle large shared memory counts. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2021-3669) It was discovered that the KVM VMX implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle indirect branch prediction isolation between L1 and L2 VMs. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to expose sensitive information from the host OS or other guest VMs. (CVE-2022-2196) Gerald Lee discovered that the USB Gadget file system implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-4382) It was discovered that the RNDIS USB [ more… ]

USN-5984-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities It was discovered that the System V IPC implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle large shared memory counts. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2021-3669) It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the SGI GRU driver in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-3424) Ziming Zhang discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU DRM driver in the Linux kernel contained an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-36280) Hyunwoo Kim discovered that the DVB Core driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform reference counting in some situations, leading to a use- after-free vulnerability.

USN-5983-1: Nette vulnerability Cyku Hong discovered that Nette was not properly handling and validating data used for code generation. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. Source: USN-5983-1: Nette vulnerability
