USN-5145-1: PostgreSQL vulnerabilities Jacob Champion discovered that PostgreSQL incorrectly handled SSL certificate verification and encryption. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to inject arbitrary SQL queries when a connection is first established. Source: USN-5145-1: PostgreSQL vulnerabilities

USN-5144-1: OpenEXR vulnerability It was discovered that OpenEXR incorrectly handled certain EXR image files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash or execute arbitrary code. Source: USN-5144-1: OpenEXR vulnerability

USN-5142-1: Samba vulnerabilities Stefan Metzmacher discovered that Samba incorrectly handled SMB1 client connections. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to downgrade connections to plaintext authentication. (CVE-2016-2124) Andrew Bartlett discovered that Samba incorrectly mapping domain users to local users. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to become root on domain members. (CVE-2020-25717) Andrew Bartlett discovered that Samba did not correctly sandbox Kerberos tickets issues by an RODC. An RODC could print administrator tickets, contrary to expectations. (CVE-2020-25718) Andrew Bartlett discovered that Samba incorrectly handled Kerberos tickets. Delegated administrators could possibly use this issue to impersonate accounts, leading to total domain compromise. (CVE-2020-25719) Andrew Bartlett discovered that Samba did not provide stable AD identifiers to Kerberos acceptors. (CVE-2020-25721) Andrew Bartlett discovered that Samba did not properly check sensitive attributes. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to [ more… ]

USN-5141-1: Firejail vulnerability Roman Fiedler discovered that a race condition existed in Firejail when using OverlayFS to prevent writes to the underlying file system. A local attacker could use this to gain administrative privileges. Note: this update disables support for OverlayFS in Firejail. Source: USN-5141-1: Firejail vulnerability

LSN-0082-1: Kernel Live Patch Security Notice Jann Horn discovered that the tty subsystem of the Linux kernel did not use consistent locking in some situations, leading to a read-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory).(CVE-2020-29660) Jann Horn discovered a race condition in the tty subsystem of the Linux kernel in the locking for the TIOCSPGRP ioctl(), leading to a use-after- free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2020-29661) De4dCr0w of 360 Alpha Lab discovered that the BPF verifier in the Linux kernel did not properly handle mod32 destination register truncation when the source register was known to be 0. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory) [ more… ]
