A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform cache-injection attacks or gain access to reverse proxy features such as ESI. (CVE-2019-12520) Jeriko One and Kristoffer Danielsson discovered that Squid incorrectly handled certain URN requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass access checks. (CVE-2019-12523) Jeriko One discovered that Squid incorrectly handled URL decoding. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass certain rule checks. (CVE-2019-12524) Jeriko One and Kristoffer Danielsson discovered that Squid incorrectly handled input validation. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Squid to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-18676) Source: USN-4446-1: Squid vulnerabilities

USN-4445-1: Ghostscript vulnerability It was discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled certain PostScript files. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to access arbitrary files, execute arbitrary code, Source: USN-4445-1: Ghostscript vulnerability

USN-4444-1: WebKitGTK vulnerabilities A large number of security issues were discovered in the WebKitGTK Web and JavaScript engines. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to web browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service attacks, and arbitrary code execution.

USN-4432-1: GRUB 2 vulnerabilities Jesse Michael and Mickey Shkatov discovered that the configuration parser in GRUB2 did not properly exit when errors were discovered, resulting in heap-based buffer overflows. A local attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code and bypass UEFI Secure Boot restrictions. (CVE-2020-10713) Chris Coulson discovered that the GRUB2 function handling code did not properly handle a function being redefined, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code and bypass UEFI Secure Boot restrictions. (CVE-2020-15706) Chris Coulson discovered that multiple integer overflows existed in GRUB2 when handling certain filesystems or font files, leading to heap-based buffer overflows. A local attacker could use these to execute arbitrary code and bypass UEFI Secure Boot restrictions. (CVE-2020-14309, CVE-2020-14310, CVE-2020-14311) It was discovered that the memory allocator for GRUB2 did not validate allocation size, [ more… ]

USN-4443-1: Firefox vulnerabilities Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, bypass iframe sandbox restrictions, confuse the user, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-6463, CVE-2020-6514, CVE-2020-15652, CVE-2020-15653, CVE-2020-15654, CVE-2020-15656, CVE-2020-15658, CVE-2020-15659) It was discovered that redirected HTTP requests which are observed or modified through a web extension could bypass existing CORS checks. If a user were tricked in to installing a specially crafted extension, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information across origins.
