USN-5163-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities Ilja Van Sprundel discovered that the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform size validations on incoming packets in some situations. An attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2021-3655) It was discovered that the Option USB High Speed Mobile device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle error conditions. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-37159) It was discovered that the AMD Cryptographic Coprocessor (CCP) driver in the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in some error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2021-3744, CVE-2021-3764) Source: USN-5163-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

USN-5162-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities Ilja Van Sprundel discovered that the SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform size validations on incoming packets in some situations. An attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2021-3655) It was discovered that the AMD Cryptographic Coprocessor (CCP) driver in the Linux kernel did not properly deallocate memory in some error conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2021-3744, CVE-2021-3764) It was discovered that the Aspeed Low Pin Count (LPC) Bus Controller implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform boundary checks in some situations, allowing out-of-bounds write access. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. In Ubuntu, this issue only affected systems running armhf kernels.

USN-5158-1: ImageMagick vulnerabilities It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain values when processing visual effects based image files. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted image file, an attacker could crash the application causing a denial of service. (CVE-2021-20244) It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain values when performing resampling operations. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted image file, an attacker could crash the application causing a denial of service. (CVE-2021-20246) It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain values when processing visual effects based image files. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted image file, an attacker could crash the application causing a denial of service (CVE-2021-20309) It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain values when processing thumbnail image data. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted [ more… ]

USN-5156-1: ICU vulnerability It was discovered that ICU contains a double free issue. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Source: USN-5156-1: ICU vulnerability
